With the deep cold this winter, we have the gift of witnessing what happens when Mother Earth creates art with the elements.

✨ Nature’s Energy in Winter ✨

To restore ourselves, many of us are drawn outdoors into natural spaces where we can breathe a little deeper and feel a little lighter. The calm and quiet of nature often helps us slow our thoughts and gently settle our nervous system.

Recently, I’ve been paying closer attention to how different landscapes carry different kinds of energy.

With the deep freeze this season, rivers that are usually so enchanting have become frozen over. I’ve noticed that simply being near them is still energizing — but it feels different than when the water is flowing and you can hear the bubbling melody of movement and life.

In these winter months, the presence of the sun brings such an immediate burst of joy. And sparkling snow carries its own kind of soft excitement — a reminder that even in stillness, nature offers beauty and renewal.

🌿 What natural spaces lift you up the most?

❄️ Winter isn’t the end of nature therapy… it’s an invitation. 🌲✨

When the world quiets under snow, something in us quiets too.

Winter asks us to slow down.
To breathe deeper.
To listen more closely.

The trees are still holding us, even without leaves.
The cold air wakes up our senses.
The crunch of snow becomes a grounding rhythm.

Nature doesn’t disappear in winter —
it becomes softer, simpler, and incredibly healing.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or heavy lately…
try stepping outside for just a few minutes.

Not to do anything.
Just to be.

Let winter meet you gently.
There is warmth here, even in the cold. 🤍

🌿 What’s one small way you connect with nature in winter?

✨ If you’re longing for deeper support and connection, Healing Spaces Therapy offers ecotherapy and nature-based counselling to help you feel grounded, supported, and more like yourself — even in the hardest seasons.

We are connected to the land in so many ways; physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. When you are outside in a quiet space, notice what happens to your sense of self.

When I am out in nature, I feel more human - more like my true self. What this quote depicts is that nature is whole, and being part of nature, I reconnect with my wholeness. In nature, we remember ourselves as part of a bigger whole and can tune into our interconnection with being whole. The healing of the earth and ourselves is to reconnect back together.

Mindfulness is a practice that invites us to be present just as we are, even with our busy minds and overflowing schedules. Then why do many people find sitting still and focusing on our breath to be so very difficult? Our lives can be full of demands and often every minute is accounted for. We rush

Bundled up with our winter coats and scarves, I meet my clients out at a beautiful park, these brave souls who also find the winter wind enlivening and the snow draped on trees stunning.
