Emotional landscapes, conscious landscapes

Three wellness activities

In our experience "Emotional Landscapes, Conscious Landscapes" we connect with nature through emotions. The landscape has many sensory qualities that we need to appreciate the territory in all its richness and complexity, to improve our health and to achieve physical and mental well-being. All the experiences take place in natural spaces of great landscape, biological and geological interest. We communicate the values of the environment through interpretation and we connect to the emotions with the activities we develop to create an intense bond with the place. Emotional Landscapes, Conscious Landscapes" consists of a program with three activities that are carried out separately on different days or can be combined on the same day: 1. 2. Seas for the mind. 3. Sunsets at the sea. Contact us to coordinate how you prefer to enjoy them, if the three together or just two of them in the same day or in different days but benefiting from the price of the package. Additional information. Program: 1. Forest baths for health: it is a sensory experience to take care of physical and mental health. It increases well-being and stress disappears by connecting with nature, experiencing a guided conscious walk in a natural environment to awaken the senses. You reconnect with the natural world and with yourself. The activity begins with an interpretation of the landscape and its values. The approximate duration of the activity is between two and three hours, walking a distance of less than one kilometer over flat or gently sloping terrain, easily accessible. The benefits are, among others, the strengthening of the immune system, decrease in blood pressure, heart rate and stress hormone (cortisol). Perceptible feeling of relaxation, mental clarity. Improves states of anxiety and depression. During the activity, participants are invited to a relaxing infusion. 2. Seas for the mind: Guided by a transpersonal therapist and facilitator of emotional education, a conscious observation is carried out that accompanies the recognition of the emotions of the participants through the movements of the sea and the natural coastal elements. The human being lives the challenges of life experiencing emotions, building from them a complex psychic world that will be expressed in behaviors. Being near the sea fills us with inner peace, helps to calm our mood, to relax and feel more satisfied and even to be more creative. The sea breeze is loaded with negative ions that greatly benefit our body, promote cell renewal, restore nervous balance and stimulate the production of serotonin, the hormone of happiness, thus providing us with an enormous sense of well-being. The approximate duration of the activity is between two and three hours, walking small distances along beaches and cliffs. During the activity, participants are invited to a relaxing infusion. 3. Sunsets at sea: The brain needs to be excited to learn and few things excite us as much as a sunset, even more if it is from the sea. Sunsets have an impact on us, creating emotions within us. That is because the sunlight at sunset acts directly on some specific areas of our brain in charge of processing emotions, more specifically, the positive ones. Accompanied by a guide specialized in environmental education and boat skipper, we set out westbound, following the sun, one hour before sunset to cross the bay and reach the open sea. During the boat route the landscape is the protagonist, we interpret the Protected Natural Area of the Bay of Santander, the Miera Estuary (with special mention to the project for the recovery of the Anacute; guila fisherman) and Las Dunas de Santander, a natural reserve of the Bay of Santander, the Miera Estuary (with special mention to the project for the recovery of the Anacute; guila fisherman) and the Dunes;guila pescadora) and Las Dunas del Puntal, until reaching the island of Mouro, and the coasts of the Costa Quebrada Aspiring Geopark, places included in the Natura 2000 Network that allow us to talk about the vicissitudes that changed the history of the Earth, the processes that have given rise to the landscape of our present, and the human action that has shaped it. Photography at sunset from the boat will be the perfect way to capture the beauty and emotions that have made us feel these landscapes.
