🌲 20 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS 🌲

Today’s Advent with Nature: Notice two things you SMELL

Winter has a scent all its own - you just have to slow down enough to catch it.

The sharp, clean smell of cold air. Pine and spruce. Woodsmoke drifting from a chimney. That particular scent of snow (yes, snow has a smell). Frozen earth. Evergreen resin on your fingers after touching a branch.

Smell is our most memory-linked sense. What you notice today might become part of how you remember this December.

What scents are in your winter air?

Today’s Advent with Nature: Notice four things you HEAR

Step outside and close your eyes for a moment. What does winter sound like?

Maybe it’s the chickadee calling from bare branches. Wind moving through evergreens. The distant hum of the city. Your own footsteps. The particular silence that comes with snow-covered ground.

Winter has its own soundtrack - quieter than other seasons, but no less alive.

What are you hearing today?

🌲 23 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS 🌲

Today’s Advent with Nature: Notice five things you SEE

Step outside and let your eyes really land on five things. Not a quick glance - actually see them.

The way snow clings to evergreen branches. Morning light catching ice crystals. Tracks left by a bird or squirrel. The texture of tree bark against white snow. Shadows stretching across the landscape.

This simple practice pulls you out of your head and into the present moment. Into winter’s quiet beauty.

What are you noticing today?

🍂 Song for Autumn 🍂

Mary Oliver invites us to notice the quiet transitions happening all around us - the way autumn whispers its goodbyes and prepares the earth for winter’s embrace.

This poem reminds us that nature is always speaking if we slow down enough to listen. The trees preparing for rest, the goldenrod fading, the fox leaving blue shadows across the snow - each detail a verse in the endless song of seasonal change.

When was the last time you truly noticed these small transformations?

This is the heart of forest bathing - not just walking through nature, but truly being WITH it. Feeling the leaves beneath your feet. Touching the earth. Watching the trees settle into their winter dreams.

As we move deeper into the season, we invite you to step outside and listen to autumn’s song in your own neighborhood. What is the forest telling you today?

I love watching all the different animals in nature — each one offering a lesson in presence and wonder.

Wildlife sightings always feel like nature’s way of inviting us to slow down and reconnect.

The diversity of animals in nature is a beautiful reminder that we’re part of something bigger.

🌅 NATURE CONNECTION ACTIVITY: Watch a Sunrise

There’s something deeply transformative about witnessing the world wake up. Whether you’re cozied up by a window with your morning coffee or bundled up outside in the crisp air, watching a sunrise is a simple yet powerful way to connect with nature’s rhythms.

Why sunrise watching matters: The quiet stillness before the day begins offers a rare opportunity to be present, to breathe, and to remember that each day brings new light and possibility.

Try it this week: ☀️ Set your alarm a little earlier ☀️ Find your spot - indoors or out ☀️ Take three deep breaths as the light appears ☀️ Notice how it makes you feel

No fancy equipment needed. No perfect location required. Just you and the dawn.

👣 The Science of Barefoot Walking 👣

New research reveals something our ancestors always knew: walking barefoot isn’t just grounding — it’s brain-boosting.

A 2024 study found that adolescents who walked barefoot for 40 minutes, four times a week, showed remarkable cognitive improvements compared to those walking in sneakers:

✨ Increased cognitive speed ✨ Enhanced concentration ✨ Decreased brain stress ✨ Significant positive changes in brain activity (EEG)

The earth beneath our feet offers more than just a path forward — it offers connection, clarity, and calm.

While this study focused on adolescents, the invitation is universal: kick off your shoes, feel the ground beneath you, and let nature do what it does best — restore us.

Next time you’re forest bathing with us, consider going barefoot (when safe and comfortable). Your brain might thank you. 🌿🧠

I was inspired by Tamara Thomas and Leif Gregersen as they shared their recovery journeys with schizophrenia—such powerful healing and hope. Read their books to learn more about their pathways from crisis to recovery.

Walking the path inward 🌀

One of our favorite nature connection activities: labyrinth walking at the beautiful stone labyrinth on Nose Hill Park.

We remove our shoes, slow our pace to almost meditative stillness, and follow the winding path. Unlike a maze, there are no dead ends—just one continuous journey to the center and back out again. It’s a walking meditation, a moving prayer, a chance to let your feet remember what it feels like to touch the earth directly.

The cool stone beneath your soles. The wind on your skin. The spiral drawing you deeper into presence.

Sometimes the longest journey is the one from your head to your heart. The labyrinth knows the way.

Come walk with us 🦶✨

📚 Reading in the Wild 📚

This week’s featured read: Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer

Robin Wall Kimmerer beautifully weaves together Indigenous knowledge and botanical science, reminding us that plants are our oldest teachers. Her words invite us to see the forest not as a resource, but as a community of relationships — each leaf, root, and stem offering lessons in reciprocity, gratitude, and belonging.

This book is a gentle guide back to what we’ve always known: we are part of nature, not separate from it.

Perfect for young adults, educators, and anyone seeking to deepen their connection with the living world around them. 🌿
