• 10th anniversary of ISNA:

For ISNA a particularly special year has just begun as we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary.

From the 10th to the 12th of October 2002 the very first international Snoezelen congress "Snoezelen – many countries, many concepts", took place at the Humboldt University in Berlin, and was attended by representatives from Austria, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland and of course Germany.

I had first heard of Snoezelen about 20 years prior to the first symposium, in connection with my work in the area of perception training and the creation of Sensory gardens and got in touch with Ad Verheul in the Netherlands. In 2001 we decided to search for likeminded people all over the world, who were already familiar with Snoezelen and practiced it. Finally we were able to find a further 10 countries, who were familiar with the concept to an extent. During that first congress in Berlin our organisation was given its name, ISNA – International Snoezelen Association.

• „Snoezelen in nature“ - Practical module in Croatia:

23rd to 30th of June 2012 - Prof. Dr. Krista Mertens and Katijana Harasic
training and holiday…

We invite you to participate in the Practical Module Snoezelen which will be held on the
holiday island of Hvar in Croatia.
You will be guided to experience the beauty of the island – you will look around and observe, take in the scents and taste, experience the clear cold waters and discover the wildlife. The small and trivial things you usually walk past will get a new meaning. You will have time to pause and discover new things. We will spend time in pinewoods, feel knobbly olive trees and make up stories. The scent of the lavender fields is mesmerising and awakens memories.
