The Hermitage of the Romiti hosts the first experimentation in the Belluno area on 3 September. Those interested in testing the benefits of the practice can already book by phone
DOMEGGE. New initiative of the volcanic CAI section of Domegge which, first among those in the Belluno area, has decided to experiment with the “forest therapy”, a project signed by the national CAI in collaboration with the CNR. A discipline, the “forest therapy”, which started from the East and is now widespread throughout the world, so much so that it presents itself as a complementary medicine tool available to the national health service. The experimentation will be on Friday 3 September, at the Hermitage of the Romiti: to welcome the twenty volunteers invited to participate there will be Barbara Castagnera, manager of the refuge.
“I joined the initiative without delay, aware that the place where the Hermitage stands lends itself perfectly to the experimentation of” forest therapy “”, explained Castagnera, anticipating the program of the initiative, “the” forest therapy “, already being tested by Cai and Cnr (national research council, ed) has already demonstrated its benefits on people who go to the mountains. Behind a walk in the woods, accompanied by specialized personnel, specifically guides but also psychologists, there are numerous benefits, not only on a physical but also psychological level. Relaxation is certified, even more so if the height difference faced during the walk is less than 150 meters. The “forest therapy” helps in everyday behavior. Those who arrive in the mountains from the city are very often tired and stressed, even if only because of the different climatic temperatures. It takes very little in the mountains to benefit, if everything is done through a well-defined path, with the support of specialized personnel ».
The experimentation at the Hermitage of the Romiti is not presented as a coincidence.
«Up here we have always promoted a so-called slow tourism», continues Castagnera, «the place, as well as a tourist vocation, also has a spiritual value. The Hermitage is surrounded by greenery and can be reached in a short time from the valley. We will try, with the help of a group of volunteers (those interested in participating can contact the Hermitage of the Romiti at 349156160 or the Cai section of Domegge at 3668781330, ed) to test the benefits of “forest therapy” concentrated around the management of strong emotions and stress. It will be an absolute first time ».
The program of the initiative foresees the meeting of the participants directly at the Hermitage, on Mount Froppa, at 9.30 in the morning while from 11 to 14.30 the therapy session will be concentrated within a path already identified and evaluated in advance by the operators of the Cai by Domegge Luisella Deppi and Flora Fedon, previously trained in this type of activity. The session will be conducted by Pasquale Costigliola while the physiological indices will be measured by Renzo Rebeschini. —
