EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

• In these programs we can come out of the monotony. One way is going back to our place of origin, which is by being immersed with nature and our inner selves in a peaceful environment and guided activities.
• In this new experience we can also reach others and relate to them differently.
• Opportunities can arise to enhance interpersonal communication skills and to be able to listen to each other more deeply.
