Nature is where we all began - and it still provides wellness for us all. Let's Reconnect, Together.

As a Forest Therapy Guide, Jennifer's goal on each and every experience is to provide an opportunity for Participants to connect to Each Other and the Land. Most of us lead such busy lives - so busy, we are often left with little opportunity to stop and rest and simply BE within our environments... With our advances in technology, and particularly with things such as social media, our modern society has greatly steered many of us away from our long-standing and inherent relationship with Nature. On a Forest Therapy Guided Walk, Participants are offered a series of various Invitations to open the doors to Connection, and the positive effects can include (but are not limited to) improved cognitive function, emotional wellness, and health.

This is too funny, I almost couldn’t handle it. 🤣

But seriously, especially when we’re overloaded or stressed, taking time to rest and just BE in a Natural
space can be very restorative. 🌳 ❤️

Solo outings are encouraged, as well as sharing these experiences with friends/family/Guides.

Absolutely! And with all the studies confirming the benefits of returning to Nature, even for shorter durations of time, it seems an intuitive and helpful thing for folks to do during times of duress - if and when they are able to do so.

Definitely true. Unfortunately, our society places so much “importance” and “value” on “being productive,” that many people, especially our Youth, beat their brains out to try and become something “of value” before they can even perceive their true calling….

And saddest of all - perhaps some people MISS hearing their true calling, while they are so busy trying frantically to be something they aren’t meant to be…

Everything (and everyone!) in its own time. ❤️

On a crisp, cold night, Sister Wind arrives to make Mother Earth a frigid home. She brings with her frost and fog creating a wintery image. We are preparing for the season of the North - Winter. The colder months are a time to heal—individually and collectively. Susan Astar teaches "By allowing yourself to rest during the winter, you are participating in a large-scale healing of the planet".

❄️30-Second Sit Spots 🌨

One of my favourite things about Winter is how much it slows everything down in pace…

So many of us stay so busy…. Our own society often encourages us to measure our personal worth based on our “productivity.”

For many, Winter offers the excuse, or occasionally, FORCES individuals to sloooooooow down…. And in that Slower Space, much more important “work” can happen…. Work such as

❄️ Looking Inward
⛄️ Looking Back
🧊 Reflecting
🌨 Thinking Forward

Soon, most local water-bodies will be entirely frozen over, demonstrating that beautiful Stillness….

🍁 30-Second Sit Spots 🍂

Here is a popularized phrase that’s been gracing the inter-web for some time:

“You should sit in nature for 20 minutes a day…Unless you’re busy, then you should sit for an hour.”

But what if you really don’t have an hour? Or 20 minutes? Could you spare 30 seconds?

Something has GOT to be better than nothing, and these weekly-added recordings will stay here for you to rewatch again and again if you so choose!

Maybe one day soon you’ll find yourself out in a Natural Space of some type, and feel inclined to stop and watch a while. Maybe you could take your own videos to rewatch again and again, as well! 🌳❤️🌲

An oldie, but a goodie! 😂

With seriousness though, I’ve never lost a single kid (or parent) on any of the MANY family hikes I’ve led over the years, and even though a liminal space can find folks getting reeeeeeally present in their Sit-Spots, I will always keep an eye on Participants, monitoring their wellness. Which includes ensuring they return safely from their Liminal Journey. 😉❤️
