This event has been organized to allow participants to experience the ecological value of the Sihwa Lake mudflats and to promote physical and mental well-being.

During the event, Park Dongchang, the head of the Barefoot Walking National Movement Headquarters, will deliver a special lecture on the theme of "Healing and Recovery." Participants will be able to walk barefoot along the coastal deck and through the mudflat area with a barefoot walking instructor, directly experiencing the ecological environment of Sihwa Lake.

The walking course will be conducted in two groups in succession, and a variety of programs open to all citizens will be held around the event venue.

In the "Experience Zone," one-day classes such as healing yoga, low-sodium salt making, and pottery crafts will be offered, while the "Health Zone" will provide various health consultations.
