"Lifestyle and Health" Sylvotherapy Discovery Day

"Be proactive about your health" workshop

This first workshop, led by Dr. Jean-Marc Chavigny, dermato-allergist, allowed each participant to question and analyze his or her own lifestyle around 9 main themes:

• social relationships,
• the rhythm of life,
• individual values,
• nutrition,
• emotions,
• connection to nature,
• physical activity,
• personal activities,
• exposure to toxic substances.

Each participant was therefore able to identify the areas in which he or she can act individually, prioritize them and define a personalized and achievable objective in order to improve his or her well-being step by step.

Sylvotherapy Workshop

The second workshop, led by Vincent Karche, sylvotherapist and opera tenor, was held outdoors, at the Avène Hydrotherapy Center arboretum and in the surrounding forest. Thanks to the grounding and breathing techniques proposed, the participants learned to reconnect to the earth, to the trees and to themselves. This connection to nature allowed everyone to experience well-being and a sense of wholeness and to embrace their emotions serenely.

"Each of us has the power to improve our health, whether it is to avoid getting sick or to reduce the symptoms of an existing disease. While our society has for years emphasized medical care, prevention remains a matter for each of us."

Dr. Jean-Marc Chavigny, dermato-allergist, Nantes.
