The UA staff members were back on track with a hiking trip organized by the Office of Human Resources at the Tannourine Cedars Forest Nature Reserve.

It was an opportunity for the participants to bond with each other and feel refreshed after a long period of telecommuting, e-meetings and gatherings. They enjoyed the stunning natural beauty of the reserve considered as one of the largest and densest cedar forest in Lebanon. They experienced the benefits of undertaking such an inner growth therapy, as they were able to laugh together, calm their emotions, de-stress, boost their mental health and reconnect with their authentic selves.

This hike reminded them of the importance of human connection, especially that they all returned back home happier and perhaps more creative.
