The Chungcheongnam-do Children's Character Education Center announced on the 27th that it had conducted a mind healing program titled "A Five-Sense Journey to Nature."

The two-day program, held from the 15th to the 16th, was designed for parents and grandparents who are exhausted from childcare and daily life. The program included barefoot forest walks, emotional purification activities, and experiences with natural objects. In particular, it focused on fostering sensory communication with nature through activities that engaged all five senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste).

Participants shared their reactions, saying, "I didn't realize how precious time for myself could be," "I felt both physically and mentally refreshed," and "I hope there will be more forest programs for children and healing programs for parents."

There were also comments expressing the desire for future expansion, such as "I definitely want to participate again next time," and "The teachers worked very hard, and I hope these programs will continue."

Director Han Yoomi stated, "This program was not just a simple outdoor activity, but a profound time for recovery, designed to allow participants to confront their emotions and physical state in nature. We will continue to develop a variety of programs so that local residents can regain emotional well-being in their daily lives and, furthermore, maintain healthy parenting and lifestyles."

Meanwhile, the Chungnam Children's Character Education Center plans to continue contributing to the emotional recovery of local residents and the promotion of community health through nature-based healing programs.
