Natura is a world of games, free and for all.
Natura can be learned in five minutes, and played on the bare earth or sand with stones, or made with paper and a pencil. This accessibility ensures those with least have the same opportunity to enjoy Natura as those with most.
Play is essential to humans. It provides a means to practice and test ourselves, it encourages us to learn how to plan and reach our goals, and helps solidify the bonds between us. Natura inspires us to consider our care for the earth as we move and shape the elements that we live with, upon, and within.
Natura can also be used as a vehicle to understand and explore our own nature, and as we do so, gain insights about our inner world and others. The game's competitive, cooperative, fruitful and harmful ways to play provide opportunities for us to probe and reflect on the consequences of our actions.
