The Training Course “Empower your Nature” took place on the island of Tinos from October 15 to 22. The participants and trainers from 9 European countries came together to explore tools for mental health, and social inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities as well as to learn from each other and explore their inner world.

For many people, it was a unique experience and they came into contact with various activities and methodologies for the first time.

The participants shared with us their thoughts and how they experienced this journey of self-discovery. Let's see what they said.

This week was a true journey through my inner nature. I didn’t know what was going to

happen, I was very curious, but everything that happened during this week completely

exceeded my expectations!

The intentions shared by the other participants immediately resonated with me and made me feel that I was in total connection with everyone, developing within me a deep emotion, a deep feeling of connection and immense enthusiasm for the week that was just beginning.

For me, the Map of Wholeness, this nature-based model of how we can relate to ourselves, was eye-opening. Through its 4 directions (north, south, east, west) I nurtured myself and embodied being bold and humble at the same time, I discovered a wild/ fierce side I didn’t know I had, as well as aspects of myself that I had forgotten. I explored what is my way of creating love in this world, of being wisely innocent. Our alone time to “wander” enabled me to correlate nature’s elements (the wind, the sand, the rocks, the pebbles, the clouds) with my inner qualities, existing and forgotten ones. Nature can teach us so many things. First and foremost, to go with the flow and follow the wind with trust in the process. To our process. 

Εmpower your Nature was co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme and the Greek National Agency.
