With the advances in technology, people are increasingly moving away from nature. This situation also leads to negative consequences in terms of mental health. It has become necessary to correct this and increase interaction with nature. In addition to the positive aspects of individuals spending more time in nature in terms of health, contact with nature also increases innovative and creative thinking. In addition, the intertwining of nature and education contributes to the development of positive attitudes towards the environment. This project, which includes benefiting from nature, contributes to the development of people’s emotional skills, increases individuals’ communication skills, and supports well-being by discovering their creative sides. Our project provides a perspective on how individuals can benefit from nature to overcome emotional crises. In addition, trainings help to support the formation of a bond with nature by increasing the effectiveness of both education and training between educators and students. In addition, it is expected to directly contribute to the wellbeing of women and the elderly, who are among the disadvantaged groups.
