Jeonnam City and County Heavy Work Department Officials 'Marine Healing in Wando'

Jeonnam Talent Development Institute 'Healing in the Forest' Course Engages Over 30 Trainees

[Wando＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Jeonnam Wando-gun announced that on the 10th, trainees of the 3rd "Healing in the Forest" course at the Jeollanam-do Human Resources Development Institute visited the county to participate in the marine healing program.

This marine healing program was prepared to help trainees of the "Healing in the Forest" course, which was opened for employees of 22 city and county heavy workload departments, to recharge and heal their body and mind through marine healing.

The program was conducted at the clean beach Sinji Myeongsashipri, where the oxygen anion concentration is 50 times higher than that of large cities, and included Nordic walking, Singing Bowl meditation (meaning "singing bowl"), and flower tea tasting.

Nordic walking involved walking along the beach for about 40 minutes using poles to inhale marine aerosols carried by the sea breeze. Singing Bowl meditation took place under the pine forest, where participants relaxed their tense bodies with breathing meditation and sea stretching, then closed their eyes and focused on the sounds and vibrations from the singing bowl to let go of distracting thoughts.

They also tasted teas made from local specialties produced in Wando, such as Hwangchil and Biwa, and flowers.

Kim Il-hoon, a manager at the Jeollanam-do Human Resources Development Institute, said, "The faces of the trainees who experienced marine healing looked lively and bright, which is gratifying as a person in charge," and added, "We plan to expand the education course."

An Hwan-ok, the marine healing officer of Wando-gun, stated, "When the director of the Jeollanam-do Human Resources Development Institute visited our county's marine healing industry site on June 3, he suggested establishing a regular course for the marine healing industry in next year's education program and reflecting it as a customized program in individual courses starting from the second half of this year."

Meanwhile, the county is accepting applications for the marine healing program in June.

The program will be held on June 24 and 25, and for more details, inquiries can be made to the Marine Healing Support Team of the Marine Healing Officer at Wando County Office.
