This event was designed for elderly individuals who have difficulty participating in outdoor activities and for people with limited mobility, with the aim of alleviating feelings of lethargy in daily life and revitalizing their spirits.

In a healing space surrounded by nature, participants engaged in sensory activities that provided emotional stability and warm interaction.

Attendees enjoyed a variety of programs, such as "making floral vinegar" filled with the fragrant scent of herbs, "making four-color Dasik" using fine natural ingredients, and "hand bath therapy" to soothe tired bodies and minds. The care and memories infused into each activity by the participants themselves added even greater meaning to the outing.

One senior remarked, "When I'm alone at home, the day feels so long, but today, I didn't even notice the time passing," expressing gratitude by saying, "It was a wonderful day, filled with laughter and conversation, like a pleasant spring breeze."

Nam Shinwoo, head of Dong-myeon, stated, "This outing was organized to give our seniors an opportunity for rest and communication," adding, "We will continue to promote various welfare programs so that local seniors can lead vibrant and warm daily lives."
