Start Wellness 2026
Comfortable, fun, and true to yourself. Start today.
Pilates to regulate breathing, and plogging to clean up the streets.
Start here a new healthy habit that gently harmonizes mind and body, and is easy for both children and adults to begin.
This autumn, GOOD NATURE STATION proposes taking a gentle first step towards health, starting with simple things like "walking" and "deep breathing," rather than pursuing health in a strict, ascetic way.
"Inner wellness" involves gently harmonizing one's own mind and body, while "external wellness" involves comfortably connecting with the city and the environment. This project introduces the aspirations of partners who are working to create a cycle of these two aspects, along with experiential programs.
