Ecotherapy is a natural approach to healing that stems from connecting with nature. Natural therapy is also referred to as ecotherapy or green therapy.

Effects of Ecotherapy: Ecotherapy has numerous positive effects on both physical and mental health, including:

  • Strengthening the immune system,
  • Stress reduction,
  • Improving mood and overall well-being,
  • Increasing energy levels and vitality,
  • Inspiring new motivation, strength, and will for life.

Conducting Ecotherapy: Ecotherapy is conducted at selected locations in nature that possess a special healing energy. These places are also known as “sacred places of nature.” One such place is Maribor Island. People can perceive them by approaching with attention, using all their senses, and observing their energetic influence on our holistic being (body, mind, and soul). The island of Maribor has been protected as a natural landmark since 1951 (73 years).

Maribor Island Tale: On Maribor Island, a tale is told about a magical snake with a golden crown. Legend has it that generations ago, the magical snake, named Golden Crown, was not just the queen of the Island; she also possessed healing power in her gold crown. People who found their way to her magical place could heal and find inner peace. The tale still captivates the imagination of people seeking magic in nature. The inner child of every visitor awakens when they perceive the whispers of trees, the rustling of the river, and the enchantment of hidden corners of the island, where perhaps, just perhaps, they might encounter the queen with the golden crown.
