Unisciti a noi per un meetup in presenza all’aria aperta, pensato per rallentare, riconnetterci con la natura e riscoprire il valore delle cose semplici, come camminare, respirare aria fresca e creare spazio per un miglior equilibrio tra vita e lavoro. Sarà una passeggiata rilassata in un contesto naturale, dove potremo goderci il momento, entrare in connessione con gli altri e condividere conversazioni significative. Durante il percorso, ci fermeremo nei punti che ci ispirano di più, dando a tutti la possibilità di scattare qualche foto. Se hai una macchina fotografica puoi portarla, ma anche il telefono andrà benissimo. Più che una semplice camminata, questo incontro sarà un’occasione per creare community, conoscerci meglio e riflettere insieme su temi legati al life coaching, all’equilibrio personale e al benessere. Che tu stia cercando aria fresca, connessioni autentiche, ispirazione creativa o semplicemente una pausa dalla routine, sei il benvenuto.
