OrienTrekking and Yoga on Mt. Etna

An experience that brings together the Eastern discipline of yoga with dynamic activities such as orienteering and trekking. A path that begins with self-knowledge and of one's own abilities and that, through interaction with others, arrives at the creation of a united and productive team.

Activities will take place on Mt. Etna between lava flow caves, ancient extinct craters and truly suggestive nature trails with the support of a yoga teacher and an expert volcanological guide.

During the first part of the day, with the yoga teacher, you will practice different techniques that encourage socialization, such as an Icebreaker, whose goal is to evaluate the group's propensity for activities and to break the ice, encouraging the active participation of everyone. Each participant will also have the opportunity to make themselves known on a deeper level through highly involving games. The importance of knowing how to listen to others and empathize with each of the other participants will be enhanced.

In the second part of the day, the participants will be divided into groups and each group will have to choose a tour leader, whose task is to empower the others to achieve the outlined objectives. This is how the Orienteering activity will begin, a timed activity in which the participants will have to find their way through the woods, using a map and compass, to recover items that will be important later on. Upon completion, the members of each group will try their hand at climbing a crater, united together by a simple rope. Who will be able to reach the top without falling? This will end with a yoga session guided by our teacher to rediscover the harmony of body and spirit, and reaffirming the importance of achieving common goals.

During the final part of the activity, the teams will be called upon to light a fire, using only the items found during the orienteering activity, which will allow teams to prepare their lunch. A relaxing and creative way of teaming up!

The activity will close with a debriefing and group sharing about the experience.
Duration: about 8 hours
