Natural·Ment is a monthly cycle of body expression and dance activities in nature that invites us to explore the relationship we have with ourselves, and with the environment —human and natural— from the presence and listening of the body. Each meeting takes place in a natural space in Berguedà —forests, rivers, meadows or paths—, where each landscape and season become an active part of the practice, contributing its uniqueness and elements to enrich the experience. The theme of each session is related to the place and time of year in order to enrich individual and collective research and experience.

The Tortosa Verge de la Cinta Hospital (HTVC) promotes reading as a tool for well-being and humanization through two initiatives aimed at inpatients and oncology patients. On one hand, the free library project on hospital floors, led by the Humanization Committee, offers patients books and magazines they can read during their stay. Users may take them home if they haven’t finished reading, or continue enjoying them at the hospital, accompanied by bookmarks designed by the ICS Terres de l’Ebre communications team. This initiative helps make hospital stays more pleasant, strengthens the connection with healthcare professionals, and encourages moments of distraction and entertainment.

La Glòria Factoria d’Art presents an artistic and community event as part of Healing Arts Barcelona: a family mosaic workshop inviting children and adults to participate in collective creation, connection with nature, and care for the environment. The activity will took place on Saturday, 11 October, as part of the Jugatecambiental program at Les Planes Park, a well-established space for play and learning supported by the AMB and the Pla Integral. Families explored the trencadís mosaic technique and its value as a tool for collective expression. The workshop is linked to La Glòria’s community mural projects at the Matacavalls wall and the Canigó tunnel, promoting the upcoming inaugurations of these transformative art spaces. The event also aligned with the goals of the Environmental Pediatrics Promoter Group of the Pla Integral, bringing health and nature closer to the public through participatory actions in green spaces. This workshop encouraged sharing, creativity, and connection, strengthening the bonds between community, nature, and culture in an open, welcoming, and meaningful environment.

The comic project “In My Own Way” was created based on a real-life story, in which the author recounts a family member’s experience to raise awareness about the effects of substance use on mental health. This initiative, born from a collaboration between Primary Care of ICS Anoia and the Department of Education, aims to educate adolescents aged 14–16 on the connection between drugs and mental illness, offering tools to reflect on their beliefs and attitudes. The project combines art as a transformative medium with pedagogy, producing educational materials that include the comic, a learning guide with visual and pedagogical resources, and direct interaction between the author and students. The pilot implementation took place at the Institut Pla de les Moreres in Vilanova del Camí (from 12 March to 25 April 2024), including various sessions: comic reading and discussion, meeting the author, myth-busting activities, role-playing exercises, and creating posters with positive messages on mental health and addiction. The impact has been highly positive for both students and teaching/health teams, highlighting the power of artistic language to connect with young people and encourage critical thinking. Currently, the comic is being digitized into an interactive video format in collaboration with the Igualada City Council to expand its reach and usefulness in new educational contexts. Results suggest the potential to extend the project to other secondary schools in Anoia, consolidating a model that unites art, health, and education to promote prevention and emotional well-being.

Immerse yourself in a unique experience of connection and well-being with a sound bath. Through the harmonic vibrations of the monochord, voice, gong, drums, and other therapeutic instruments, we invite you to leave stress behind and enter a space of deep calm. Sound acts as a wordless guided meditation: simply lie down, breathe, and let yourself be carried by the frequencies that resonate with your body and mind. This ancient practice not only promotes relaxation but can also help balance the nervous system, improve sleep quality, and support emotional release. Whether you are already familiar with the benefits of sound or experiencing it for the first time, this journey offers a safe, welcoming, and mindful environment. This activity is part of the MUSEUMS AS SPACES OF WELL-BEING project, designed by six museums and five primary health areas in the Baix Empordà region. The initiative aims to highlight museums as spaces that contribute to public health and well-being, and to raise awareness of the importance of caring for our emotional well-being. During the weekend of 17–19 October, various activities will be held at the museums of Baix Empordà. These events are designed to empower people to prioritize self-care, offering activities across different disciplines related to art and emotions.

Elderly residents of the Serrallo, aged between 75 and 92, share information about photographs that are part of their life in the neighborhood while enjoying breakfast together. This stable group of 7–9 participants socializes with one another and passes on their knowledge, which is documented for preservation. These are monthly sessions of about two hours, during which neighbors recall small moments from their past. Together, these recollections recreate the history of the Serrallo neighborhood. Participants experience emotional well-being, exercise their memory, and, while engaged and collaborative, provide detailed descriptions of the projected images.
