FESTIVAL DA TERRA - WE ARE NATURE
Parque Palmela, Cascais, 15 to 17 of September
Nature is life that expresses itself through laws but also through sounds, light, colors, scents, forms, radiating beauty and ecological systems where the one and the many adjust to each other. Through the perception and experiencing of these essences we could maybe find answers to the present ecological problem, and also find the awaited reunion between humans and nature of which we are an integral part. As Lynn White says, it is paramount a new attitude and world vision that will open the doors to a renewed feeling of belonging to life and to the universe, a deep ecology, to the wisdom of Mother Nature and to the awareness that, “WE ARE NATURE”.
