Biophilia – Literally “love of life” (Greek)

The “Biophilia Effect”

Cornerstone of our work at the Chiemsee Institute.

The biophilia hypothesis of evolutionary biologist Edward O. Wilson speaks of the human need to connect with nature and all living things.

This connection is the result of an evolutionary process that has lasted millions of years: humans come from nature, evolved within it and in interplay with it.

The biophilia effect occurs when we connect with our roots; it means nature experiences and wilderness; means natural beauty and aesthetics, unleashing and healing.

At the Chiemsee Institute, we strive to apply the biophilia effect in the age of neuroscience, molecular biology and immunology.

We are pleased that the connection between natural forces and human health is being put on a solid scientific basis from the realm of experience.

STUDIES

All over the world, scientists and doctors are working on “Forest Medicine”, the medicine of the soul. As early as 1984, the first natural medicine study* by Professor Roger Ulrich was published in Science, the most important scientific journal. It significantly proved how simply looking into the green and being in contact with trees significantly accelerated healing after operations..

Possible elements

Exercise & Nature

“To be in motion is to be alive.” During our nature walks we will specifically focus our attention on “being” in the here and now. Experiencing nature increases our social skills, the feeling of connectedness allows us to react more tolerantly and consciously even in difficult life situations..

Sound & Nature

“The primal experience of human beings is sound”. Whether gently struck singing bowls with their vibrations lead to deep relaxation or powerful drum rhythms that ground us and bring our heartbeat into healthy resonance, in our seminars you will have a profound experience..

Touch & Nature

When touch is felt positively, the heart rate decreases, the muscles relax and breathing becomes deeper and calmer. Touch is the most primal form of communication. It satisfies a basic human need and provides a feeling of security. Learn more about our meridian massages and the effects of daily, independent application..
