You're Invited! An Opportunity to Experience the Natural World in a New Way.

Do you have plans for the weekend or want something different to do? Something relaxing and restorative. Something that may help you feel less lonely and more connected, even stimulate some creative ideas that lie beneath your surface.
 
Here is a nature connection exercise that you can try.
 
Imagine yourself in a tranquil corner of nature, where the only sounds are the soft rustling of leaves, the melodious chirping of birds, and the gentle flow of a nearby stream. No man-made sounds.  No planes, trains, automobiles, shouting, music, or leaf blowers. Just pure, unadulterated tranquility. 
 
This space outside our doors may be more challenging to find than you think. Scientists and others are now searching for and documenting these man-free sound sanctuaries. 
 
If you decide to try it, go outside and search for the 'rawest' nature you can find. This is nature untouched by man, a rare and valuable experience.  Pause, maybe sit comfortably in this space, and listen.  What do you hear?  Is it nature-made or man-made?  Close your eyes and listen.  Maybe take a few deep breaths to relax into the experience.  How do the various sounds feel in your body? 
 
When you open your eyes, take a moment to reflect on this experience.  If you have a pen and paper or a notes app, jot down what stirred within you during this exercise. This reflection is a vital part of the process, as it allows you to fully embrace and understand the impact of the nature connection exercise.
