Spring is when nature comes back to life, which gives an energy boost as well. It’s a great time to think about your wellbeing. An excellent idea is to attend one of the local workshops that will regenerate your body and lift your spirit. We’ve connected with our partners to check what spring attractions they have prepared. Among them are: yoga and meditation, experiencing the forest with all four senses (forest immersion), cacao ceremony, a session with Tibetan singing bowls, and a celebration of femininity.
Spring is magical! After the cold, dark, and damp winter months, spring gives us back one of the more precious things we have: the joy of life and with it – the will to introduce positive changes in life. Spring makes you crave for more. More exercise, more healthy food, more meditation…
“Each year, I impatiently await spring. We say no the grey of autumn and winter, and disperse them with green, spring forests and meadows. Our senses, overwhelmed up until now, demand the crispness of the air that comes with returning birds. Animals wake up from the winter slumber and bring first green leaves and flowers. Everything comes back to life once again. It’s a perfect moment to begin “once again”. Reorganize daily life and to something for yourself, like taking care of your health. Hope comes back with spring, too. The energy comes back, together with willingness to act, plan or make changes. It’s an excellent moment for a forest stroll to clear your head,” says Marzena Żachowska, a certified guide of the Forest Therapy Institute, who organises the so-called forest baths.
If you feel like you need an incentive that will inspire changes in your life, we’ve compiled a list of spring workshops in Pomorskie, prepared by our partners.
Workshops in Pomorskie: Forest therapy on the Vistula Spit
Marzena Żachowska is a certified forest therapist, who has for years been organising the so-called forest baths on the Vistula Spit. You might be familiar with her work from our previous article. Marzena has prepared a series of five thematic meetings, with a forest sleep over, to celebrate spring. Sounds intriguing, doesn’t it?
“The world of body sensations”, “Woman, wife, mother… Lover?”, “My relationship with myself and the world”, “My needs”, and “When life hurts too much” – this is the agenda of the workshops. All will start in the early evening, just before sunset. Afterwards, you can stay in the forest for the night if you’d like. The spring workshops will take place at the end of April.
“What will happen in the forest? Light and darkness, turning into pitch black. Shadows and shapes of the upcoming night. Sounds, reminding that the forest never sleeps. It’s me and you, here and now. Our night fears, daily goodbyes, and saying hello to the night. Joy in the morning. Using visualisation techniques and mindfulness, we shall immerse ourselves in the forest with all our senses,” Marzena Żachowska said.

Celebration of femininity and yoga weekend workshops in Pomorskie at Pałac Łebunia
Take a deep breath. Inhale, and fill yourself with self-love. Then exhale, and let out all that stops you from easy living. This is the main theme of four segments of workshops called “I’m close to me”, hosted by Pałac Łebunia. These workshops help you learn self-care and celebrate femininity. Everything will take place in a picturesque town in Pomorskie, where you will experience how it is to be yourself, far away from the city noise. The workshops will be conducted by psychotherapist Magdalena Olech. The agenda includes a trip to the sea, accommodation for two nights with breakfast, two lunches and two dinners, and a 10% discount on SPA treatments. The workshops will take place on March 11-13.
Moreover, Pałac Łebunia will also hold a yoga weekend on June 3-5. This is something for those who have already been practising yoga, as well as complete newbies.

The offer includes: accommodation for two nights with vegetarian breakfast, lunch and dinner, 4 yoga sessions, 3 meditation sessions, and a discount on SPA treatments.
