The marine climate healing program started with the "Healing of Spring Days" program on the 17th of last month and is currently conducting the "Visiting Eup/Myeon Program," "Local Community Group Challenge Program," and "Marine Healing Healing Program."

So far, over 200 people have experienced beach Nordic walking, singing bowl meditation, Pilates, and more.

A participant from Goyang, Gyeonggi-do said, "The scenery of Sinji Myeongsasimni is beautiful, and walking barefoot on the clean beach while doing Nordic walking and beach meditation was an unforgettable experience in my life," adding, "I had a happy time after a long while."

At the Marine Culture Healing Center, programs such as media art, aroma classes, pottery classes, and cooking classes have been held twice a day for two hours each on Saturdays and Sundays since last month.

Despite operating only on weekends, over 350 people have experienced marine culture healing so far, and participant satisfaction is high, with more than 80% expressing willingness to participate again.

In particular, the media hall of the Marine Culture Healing Center provides new experiences by creating media art featuring the beautiful nature of Wando as a backdrop.

During the Slow Walking Festival held at Cheongsan Marine Healing Park until the 7th of next month, Nordic walking experiences and healing facilities such as sound, scent, seaweed, foot baths, and herb maekbansuk are available free of charge to those with reservations.

Meanwhile, the Marine Healing Center, equipped with 16 therapy rooms, will be open for tours and experiences after a trial operation next month, with a grand opening planned for September.

A county official stated, "With many events scheduled, including the Jangbogo Seafood Festival, Jeonnam Sports Festival, and Disabled Sports Festival, we will put more effort into promoting marine healing," adding, "We will operate various facilities stably to ensure the marine healing industry can be revitalized."
