Sense of Spring Program with Urban Wild, June 2019

In these times of uncertainty and transition, spending time in nature can support us in surprising ways. Nature gives us an opportunity to get to a place where we can be ourselves. This transition can sometimes go unnoticed – it can be a gentle drifting to a more connected place. I bet you have experienced this for yourself: it’s a quieting of our day to day distractions, a release of our lists of “should-dos” and a softening of external pressures. We begin tuning into the natural world, which our bodies and senses have evolved over generations to do. So as our families transition back to school, remember nature is transitioning along side us and offering us a gentler place to be ourselves.
