For this nature therapy time, I invite you stop and explore the world at the tops of the trees. Take 10-15 minutes to just watch, listen, and let your mind wander and wonder with the life happening way up above the ground.
In this episode, I invite you to take 15 minutes to sit in your nearby nature space and just Be. No thoughts about where you need to be or challenges ahead. Just, for 15 minutes, be like the animals and trees in your nature space, and just live exactly in the moment.

Please enjoy this small nature connection exercise as a peaceful break in your busy day.
In this episode, I invite you to think about how nature is supporting and receiving you in this moment, just as you are. There is no expectation to accomplish anything - you are just there observing what nature offers you in the moment. Take 10-15 minutes out of your day to just be, and be with whatever nature space you have available to you today.
