Presented at the National Congress SITD the results of the first trial, in the treatment of addiction problems, using the benefits of Nature as a recovery tool.
“Videos almost always manage to stop the tendency of some residents to wander aimlessly. In the sounds and images, they manage to ‘feel’ something that attracts and reassures them”.
“I believe that our televisions should remain off and there should be a wisdom that proposes images, possibilities thought about the biography and history of these people”.

“The performance stems from the bodily suggestions of the children, who interact with the video images, traversing different seascapes and creating choreographies born spontaneously”.
“The interesting observation is that the videos introduced an important cognitive and attentional stimulus after a moment of relaxation, while maintaining within the session calm and tranquility.“
“In the observation I caught not only a great commitment to the work they were doing, but above all a condition of extreme relaxation that led the children, who worked alternately in small groups, to remain in an almost meditative silence”.
“A course with EXPERIENCE NATURE videos with children and adults with Autism issues offers a lot of potential. It is a tool to benefit from Natural Input, without activating sensory channels such as touch and smell.”
