Hoe maken we natuur een vanzelfsprekende gesprekspartner in de keuzes die we dagelijks maken?

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.

You can 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.

The mirros designed for the workshops are exhibited at the Fashion Tech farm during Dutch Design Week.

You can sign up for the workshop here:

(the workshop will be in Dutch).

Mirrorlakes at Ketelhuisplein

At Ketelhuisplein, at Brabant Ontmoet: Toekomstdenkers, Natuurkaatsen has the shape of an art installation.

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.

The lake mirrors are presented at the pavilion of the province: https://ddw.nl/en/programme/natuurkaatsen.
