About us
Always in search of inspiration
Trazos de Bosque is the natural union of the sensitivity, interests, and complicity between Nívola and Marc. Both of us, since childhood, have felt nature as something more than just a landscape . This conviction has inspired our work and concerns.
Our story
The seed was planted while studying Environmental Sciences in Barcelona. That's where we met, and our shared journey began, exploring many forests together since then … and getting lost in them, without maps, without any particular destination, simply for the pleasure of being there, savoring the present moment. We also carry in our hearts many shared projects promoting connection between people and the environment.
This way of being in nature, without having to reach any summit, is what we wish to share with the experiences of Trazos de Bosque ; some are walks, others creations, and others will be sensory invitations.
Our values and philosophy of life permeate the project. At Trazos de Bosque, we embrace the native materials of our ecoregion, artisanal weaving, inclusive art for all, the circular economy , and a slower pace of life .
We dream of a more poetic world, where all living beings coexist in harmony, where people develop their full potential and sensitivity, feeling part of the rest.
Savoring the moment, experiencing, enjoying and creating in nature transforms us profoundly, and is very comforting on an instinctive level.
