Mi Caminata por el Bosque

Descripción

nvita a los participantes a un ejercicio imaginativo de reflexión. Cada uno recordará las historias, emociones e impresiones de su caminata por el bosque.
Ask participants to sit comfortably in a chair or on the floor. Invite them to close their eyes — or, if that’s not comfortable, they can softly gaze downward. Let their body relax, and gently bring their attention to their breathing. Ask them to notice how the air flows through their body.
~20 seconds of silence
Now invite them to recall the forest walk. Ask them to remember how they prepared for the experience, what it felt like to arrive in the forest, and how it was to meet the others...
What emotions were present?
What was it like to enter the forest? What feelings arise now as you remember that moment?
~10 seconds of silence
Ask participants to reflect on the time they spent in the forest.
What moments do you remember? What details — scents, sounds, colors — come to your mind? What experiences did you have? What did feel new or exciting?
~20 seconds of silence
Now gently invite them to return from their memory-forest back to the present moment. ‘Slowly open your eyes, stretch a little, and get ready to continue with a creative task.’
On the sheet of paper in front of you, draw a path — the path you walked during the forest experience.
It might be curving or straight, it may lead somewhere — or not.
What does your forest walk path look like?
5 minutes of individual drawing in silence
Now you can continue enriching your drawing using the colorful collage pieces in front of you.
Place any piece on or around your path in a way that best expresses what you experienced during your forest walk.
Plan at least 15 minutes for creative work
Give your artwork a title.
Choose a partner (or a small group of 3–4 people), and share your piece with them.
15–20 minutes for small-group sharing
Closing
Ask everyone to come back to the main circle.
If there’s time, invite each participant to share their artwork with the whole group in 1–2 minutes, telling the title they gave it and why.
If there isn’t enough time for a full round, you can instead create an exhibition by displaying the artworks side by side on a free wall surface (you can also write or print the titles separately).
Then, in the closing round, invite everyone to say one sentence about how they feel now. This one-sentence round can be done standing, even after the longer sharing circle.

Variaciones

There can be many variation mainly depending on the available timeframe. You can dedicate more time for the creative part and/or the sharing.
