Colours of Being Community

SIGN UP HERE: LEGO FUTURE VISIONS | Samklang

#### How does it work?

Jonaz is an experienced facilitator of playfulness in organizations, specialized in the workshop method called LEGO Serious Play. Jonaz will guide the participants through a couple of light hearted exercises that help you express yourself and explore your personal visions for the future. This is the perfect way to meet new friends in a relaxed environment where the focus is on creativity rather than performance.

No prior knowledge is required – just an open mind!

Come as you are, go home with new acquaintances - and maybe with a little nostalgic joy in your body.

This event is hosted at Colours of Being as part of their community-driven shared-economy framework for sustainable expression of creativity.

SIGN UP HERE: Forest Bathing (Skogsbad) with Laurence Nachin | 21/05 — Colours Of Being

#### WHAT TO EXPECT

We'll meet at the starting point, walk a short distance together, and then Laurence will introduce the practice — what it is, why it works, and what your time together will look like.
From there, the experience unfolds through a series of open invitations. You're never told how to do something — you're simply invited to explore with your senses: what do you see, hear, smell, feel?
Establish a connection with the world around you. Let yourself be embraced by nature and notice your senses engage differently.
Throughout the experience, individual wandering weaves together with shared moments of reflection in circle.
You close with a tea ceremony — a moment to gather, share what arose, and let the experience land. This is also an opportunity to eat a sandwich or snack you can bring for yourself as we are aware that the experience is ending close to dinner time.
Duration: approximately 2 hours, from 5.30 pm - 7.30 pm

#### WHY FOREST BATHING?

The benefits are well-documented:

• Cortisol (stress hormone) levels drop measurably
• Trees release phytoncides — airborne molecules that boost our immune system
• Soil bacteria have been linked to improved mood
• Time in nature increases our capacity for social connection

It's biology.

#### ABOUT LAURENCE

Biologist, certified nature and forest therapy guide, and founder of Sense in Nature, Laurence Nachin facilitates workshops and guides outdoor experiences that help people rediscover their connection to the natural world and weave nature back into daily life — at home and at work.
She brings a unique combination to this: a PhD in cell biology and microbiology, and a sensory, embodied approach to being in the living world. Born in France and based in Sweden for over twenty years, she thinks of herself, first and foremost, as an Earthling.
