What if...

As children, we experience nature as a place we belong to and a place that belongs to us. Whether as a place of wonder and joy, or as sanctuary from a chaotic and unsafe home life, nature is where we can wander the outside world as we explore the nuances of our internal world.

It’s a place where animals trust us and we can’t imagine not trusting ourselves. A place where a rock is a throne and flowers a crown. It’s a place where we wordlessly process our big feelings. A place where we are seen, held, and loved 

Nature is where we learn peace —alive in our senses, bubbling with curiosity and imagination.

​But somewhere along the way to adolescence, there’s a moment that creates a tiny crack in this relationship which continues to spread over time.

Here’s the thing… it's not just your taste buds that change. Your play buds change too.

The Kapow that changed everything.

I was recently interviewed for a podcast by a delightful woman (when it’s live I’ll be sure to post it). She began with one question she asks all of her guests, “Can you share a catalytic event in your life?”

While there have been oodles of “KAPOW!” events, one that was the most impactful – one that literally changed the trajectory of my life and how I share my gifts in the world – was at a week-long Art of Mentoring workshop back in 2003.

After a day of sitting inside, talking about the outside, the facilitators sent us off for a sit spot: simply sitting in nature and paying attention to the world around us. 

I walked out of the building, headed in the opposite direction as everyone else, and ...
