Dive In and Contemplate: What Is Your Relationship with Nature? Join Ariadna Casas in this guided therapeutic activity, where we will practice forest therapy based on Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing), Mindfulness, and Qigong. This activity is part of the therapeutic proposals of the NIAT group (Inclusive Therapeutic Activities in Nature) of the Official College of Psychologists of Catalonia. During the session, Ariadna will guide you through Shinrin Yoku, helping you immerse yourself in nature, reconnect deeply with your senses, and reduce stress. We will also do Qigong exercises to activate body and mind, release tension, and promote a flow of positive energy. Additionally, we will practice the “Meditation of Admiration” or “Meditation of Surprise”, a technique that invites you to observe the natural world with fresh eyes, full of wonder and respect. On this “surprise walk” through the Poblet Forest, nature becomes our teacher, encouraging us to discover its wonders in every detail with curiosity and inner peace.

OPEN SPACE – Integrative Health Center (Vilafranca del Penedès)
Cycle of experiential workshops on meditation practice through art therapy. Non-dual meditation has Efficient Attention as its central axis. Concentration is the first step and meditating is an act of presence. Learning to attend becomes the main tool in our day to day. At the same time, art therapy as a vehicle of communication and representation, facilitates the processes of emotional understanding and promotes efficient cognitive attention that allows discernment to emerge to act in any situation that life presents us.

Tortosa East CAP
The CAP El Temple in Tortosa promoted children’s oral health through Bibliodonto, an innovative project that combined health education and reading to encourage healthy habits among young people. The initiative featured a dedicated corner in the center’s waiting room where children could find stories and books about dental care and healthy eating. The materials, provided by the Marcel·lí Domingo Library, were renewed approximately every three months to offer fresh stories and educational resources. Through a playful and interactive approach, Bibliodonto sought to make oral health more accessible and engaging for children, fostering curiosity and awareness about the importance of caring for their mouths from an early age. In addition, the CAP set up two bibliotherapy areas in the waiting room, where users could read books in several languages and take them home, leaving another in exchange. This initiative promoted reading as a tool for relaxation, emotional well-being, and digital disconnection, providing moments of calm and reflection for visitors. With these initiatives, EAP Tortosa Est reaffirmed its commitment to comprehensive, compassionate, and community-oriented care, improving the experience of both professionals and users who passed through the center.

The Tiled House, Santaca Museum (Martorell)
Based on a guided tour of the exhibition led by the artist, we invite you to take part in a creative workshop that encourages each participant to engage with her work from their own perspective, experience, and life moment. The activity provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the emotions and reflections the artwork may evoke. This session offers an experiential introduction to art therapy—an open, undirected creative process where experimentation and artistic materials become tools for expression, self-discovery, and connection with others. Its aim is to provide a practical and nurturing experience that reveals the transformative potential of art on both emotional and relational levels. The workshop will be guided by a qualified art therapy professional, ensuring sensitive and respectful support tailored to the rhythm and needs of each participant.

Creativity, movement, and connection for older adults Circ en Gran is a social circus project for older people that promotes health, autonomy, and social connection through the performing arts. From October to February, participants meet weekly in a safe and inclusive space to explore six creative disciplines — juggling, acrobatics, clowning, balancing, theatre, and percussion. The project goes beyond physical activity: it builds trust, cooperation, and collective creativity, enhancing mobility and coordination while strengthening social bonds. The journey concludes with a public performance, celebrating what participants have learned and created together — a joyful testament to community, creativity, and the power of lifelong learning. Circ en Gran shows that age is no barrier to play, imagination, or transformation.
