We underestimate the healing power of nature. Many of us know the value of being outdoors and breathing in the fresh air. Take it a step further and connect with nature to gain clarity, connect, and learn about yourself.
Step outside. Take a breath. Slow down. Look around you. What do you notice? What is your eye drawn towards? Explore. Be curious. When we bring our awareness to nature with intention we feel grounded, heal, discover, and gain perspective. In the fall I was walking along an old set of railway tracks and noticed the railway tie pictured in the bottom right image. I was drawn in by it. I stopped, explored, became curious, stood on top of it, noticed how it felt, thought about what I might put inside of it, and I journaled about it when I got home. It opened doors to some healing I didn't realize I was looking for. As we move into the warmer days of spring I am ready to connect with people through nature based work both in private sessions and Connect & Create opportunities. Sometimes art materials are involved and other times they are not. Creative work in nature brings increased clarity, increased energy, and a sense of calm. Comments are closed.
