## Who they are

Satya is an environmental education and personal growth project based in the Collsacabra, the plateau of cliffs between Osona and the Garrotxa where Rupit, Pruit, Tavertet and Cantonigròs are found. The name comes from Sanskrit and means "truth": the project says it seeks consistency between what is thought, said and done. Its website gives no names or start date. It does explain the training of the team, which combines occupational therapy, sensory integration, psychology, emotional education, interpretive guiding, sound therapy, art therapy, music, medicinal plants and environmental education. That mix of trades shows in what they offer: walks, art and emotions go together.

## What they offer

The most tourist-oriented part is the guided outings. There are walks through the Collsacabra to get to know the area, "mindful" walks designed for contemplation, outings to Cap de Creus and the Mar d'Amunt coast, in the Empordà, and the visit to the Corriol farmhouse, an 18th-century house a few kilometres from Rupit that is preserved just as it was. The farmhouse itself organises guided visits from time to time and opens to groups by appointment.

The experiences are more intimate: sound baths with harmonic instruments followed by medicine songs, in the middle of nature, in centres or in private homes, which can be combined with a walk. At Cap de Creus there is a version aboard a traditional llaüt, with breakfast and an optional swim. They also run art and nature workshops, concerts of their own songs, covers or habaneras, and a singing group, M'enCanta, on Wednesdays from 18:00 to 19:00, one week in Masies de Roda and the next in Les Preses.

In December they put on the Bosc de Tions: a small wood in the Collsacabra where several tions, the Catalan Christmas log, are hidden. Families look for the tions among the trees and hear where the tradition comes from. It is done in small groups and costs €35 per family.

## For schools

The largest block is the educational activities, organised by cycle from nursery to the ESO (compulsory secondary). They include: climbing the Puig de Cabrera from Cantonigròs; going from Rupit to the Salt de Sallent looking at the riverside woodland and the marine fossils in the cliff; exploring Rupit, the river and Santa Magdalena with legends; a gincana around the village; games to discover who lives in the forest; the beech wood of les Roques Encantades, best in autumn or spring; and a visit to the Cap de Creus Natural Park focused on geology. Some, such as "El bosc i les emocions", can also be done in the classroom or in a nearby park. For teachers they prepare workshops on stress management and group cohesion, and they agree tailor-made programmes with each school.

## How to book

The website does not publish prices, durations, group sizes or minimum ages, except for the Bosc de Tions. Nor does it give meeting points, included equipment or cancellation conditions, and it does not mention registration in the tourism register. For any outing you must write to nae.satya@gmail.com or call 628 09 16 85, the number it gives for the Bosc de Tions. The website is in Catalan; it does not say in which languages they guide, so it is worth asking when booking.
