Over the past ten years, I’ve had the joy of working with several younger women who have helped shape The Nature Nurse. Their ease with modern technology has been both impressive and entertaining—I still chuckle at my surprise when I first learned about Airdrop. One tap and—poof—a photo appears on another phone! What a timesaver.
Beyond the tech-savvy brilliance, what’s been most rewarding is their eagerness to learn about the powerful role nature plays in our lives. One of these bright souls is Maddie Chen. She helped launch The Nature Nurse YouTube channel, and her video editing and technical talents have introduced many people to nature-based practices that inspire joy, vitality, and awe.
When I asked Maddie to create a video demonstration of Just Being with Nature, she embraced the challenge wholeheartedly—and the result is a beautiful, gentle guide to simply being.
