These experiences are all commmon in certain public parks in Lisbon. If there's political will, having meaningful natural experiences in community is easy, cheap and I'd say even more rewarding.
The problem is in the communities. I remember a sunny day back in 2015 - I was living in a suburb near Redwood City with lovely, expansive parks. Naively I decided to take my shirt off while I was lying in the grass and get some sun. It took less than 5 minutes for a group of concerned mothers (whose group was yards away from me) to come berate me for "exposing myself to children". What sort of education is this?
