How can we make nature a conversation partner in the choices we make every day?

Slowing down and observing with attention

Natuurkaatsen invites you to observe your local surroundings with attention and curiosity. By slowing down, mindfully connecting with your environment, new perspectives can emerge. This creates space to involve nature in the choices we make.

The Natuurkaatsen mirrors are shaped like Brabant’s lakes and play with reflection. Just like water, they show you your surroundings in a different way.

Your observations, ideas, wishes and reflections can be shared on a large map of Brabant. Draw or write, it’s up to you! Every day, the collection of stories and conversations grows.

Explore together

You can also experience Natuurkaatsen as a workshop. Together with a group, you will explore. Questions and small assignments guide you to really observe, while a conversation allows you to share your thoughts with others. Together, you discover what nature inclusion means to you and how to involve nature in the choices you make.

You can sign up for the workshop here:

(the workshop will be in Dutch).
