Excursion to “La Maison de la Nature”
Our employees participated in the “Plein des sens” animation proposed by the Maison de la Nature Bruche et Piémont in Oberhaslach.
The day was organized in several sensory workshops to awaken our 5 senses.
The touch with a sensory path barefoot in the middle of the nature
This type of trail allows us to discover new sensations by walking on different textures.
We are used to walking with shoes all day long, rediscovering the sensation of tree bark, pebbles, straw or sand helps to eliminate stress and anxiety, it also stimulates blood circulation.
Remember to walk barefoot more often 😉
We were able to test our sense of smell by trying to recognize the names of various aromatic plants.
Did you know that olfaction allows us to detect nearly 4,000 different smells?
As for hearing, we were able to use the taupophones made by Steritech (three stainless steel tubes inserted in the ground and connected to each other to communicate with the moles) in order to make the other teams guess words, people or even animals!
Sight is a sense that we used throughout the different workshops!
To end the outing on a high note, we used our last sense, taste, in order to guess all together the composition of the “guessing menus” proposed by the chef Vincent of the restaurant Lotel!
It was a day rich in surprises, cohesion, exchanges and sharing between colleagues and their families in a beautiful natural setting!
