Blissed by Nature

Often, I feel helpless in these budget-cutting, policy-changing times. Then I remember: it’s really a call to action to create a local community and find common ground.
Today, I stopped at Galena Creek Regional Park and talked to the program manager. Gabe Zurn told me about her efforts to put on a charity event to support their K-12 programming. For many local underserved kids, this is the only way they develop a loving relationship with the natural world.
The event is next weekend and only 17 people have signed up.
If you feel like me and want to make a difference, participate in your local events.
Rather than chilling on your couch, let’s create the world we want to live in and participate in meaningful local events.

I used to love going on a run - I always felt better.
I used to love to hike - esp. reaching my destination.
But did I really connect with the natural world?
Did I notice the birds, the dragonflies, the budding blossoms, the way the sun is reflected on the creek’s curls?
My relationship with the natural world changed once I started to slow down and notice. And I am so much richer for it.

Nature Rx. Some doctors prescribe time in nature because they know the healing that happens there.

Every moment in nature is an invitation to heal. 💚
The science is clear—listening to birds, touching the earth, breathing in the forest air… each of these simple acts restores balance to our body and mind.

That’s why we create experiences that bring people back into harmony with the natural world. 🌎✨

Join me in celebrating the everyday magic of the outdoors—where wellness begins.

Be more astonished.

Slow down.
Tune in.
Wake up.

It’s all here—waiting to be noticed.

Like the tender symmetry of new fir needles, unfolding in quiet spirals at the tip of each branch. A sacred geometry of becoming.

This is what presence reveals:
not just trees, but life expressing itself in elegant, intricate detail.

The more we attune to the natural world, the more it teaches us how to be fully alive.

On this day that celebrates independence, I’m reflecting on interdependence—the quiet wisdom that the natural world models so effortlessly.

Trees share nutrients through underground fungal networks.
Bees and flowers rely on each other to thrive.
Birds follow the seasons, guided by wind and stars.
Nothing in nature thrives alone.

What if freedom isn’t about standing apart—but standing together with care, humility, and mutual support?

May we remember that we belong to each other—and to the land.

Happy Interdependence Day. 🌿❤️🤍💙

Step outside.
Now arrive.

Not just your body—your attention.
Your breath.
Your awareness of birdsong, breeze, the way the sunlight touches your skin.

We’re always in motion. But what if the most radical thing is to stop?
To fully land.
To meet the moment as it is.

This is the doorway. 🌿

In nature’s presence, can you feel your own?

The wild doesn’t ask us to be anything other than awake.
No performance. No pressure. Just presence.

When we step into the natural world with curiosity and stillness, something ancient stirs: We remember who we are—beneath the noise, beneath the doing.

Come home to that presence. Yours.

Join our Wednesday Sit Spot practice of slowing down and connecting to the natural world as a way to navigate change and transitions.

This morning, I sat still long enough in my sit spot to watch the sun rise—and when it did, it lit up tiny pearls of water clinging to the Colorado Spruce. In each raindrop, the whole world reflected back at me. Sometimes, stillness is the only way to really see.

How do you orient yourself toward beauty these days?
