Nature School for Adults – “Awareness | Sea” Edition
A day spent by the sea, with awareness and regeneration, to bring nature back into your life. Have you ever felt the need to slow down, truly breathe, and reconnect authentically with nature? This experience is designed for curious adults seeking a concrete change towards a healthier lifestyle.

Highlights
Meeting Point
How to reach us
The meeting point is at our sports center in Niasca, in the Bay of Paraggi. Once in Santa Margherita L. continue towards Portofino until the bay of Paraggi. Passed the inlet of the bay, after 200m on the left you will find a sandy beach where Outdoor Portofino is located. This area has very limited parking areas, especially during summertime. In Paraggi there is a paid parking lot, but we suggest to reach our office by alternative means (bus, boat, bicycle) or walking from Portofino (about 10 minutes) or S. Margherita L. (about 40 minutes).
