Why nature?
We live in a fast paced world, where screen time has replaced much needed green time, leaving us disconnected from experiences of imagination and exploration. Despite our natural need to find moments of rest and reflection, slowing down in today’s society feels like a luxury we can’t afford. But what if you could offer yourself small moments to connect with the seen and unseen world, and create everyday awe?
Through creating space for moving & breathing intentionally, exploring aspects of the natural world (which does include tending to an indoor plant), or to get on the level of moss and see the tiniest mushroom; we are creating pathways of connection. This does not mean we must have access to green spaces, but to looks towards the living world and its teachings as a guide and a constant symbiotic relationship.
