Os ofrecemos una convivencia de 5 días en un entorno natural y vivir una experiencia compartida con otros jóvenes, practicando la atención plena, desde que nos levantamos, hasta acostarnos por la noche. Exploraremos cómo conectar con el cuerpo y aprender a relajarse, a conectar con las  emociones y los sentimientos y aprender a que no nos dominen. Nos sentaremos en calma aceptádonos como somos, caminaremos acariciando la tierra con nuestros pies, comeremos saboreando cada bocado y agradeciendo a la tierra sus regalos. Practicaremos el habla amorosa y la escucha profunda, compartiendo lo que llevamos en nuestro corazón. Todo esto en un ambiente relajado, creativo y alegre.
