Get Grounded
From the moment you are born, your connection with mother earth begins. The way you choose to live, eat, and move through the world keeps circling you back to nature.
When you see yourself as an integral part of nature, the way you see yourself and the world changes forever – we begin to rejoice in the shining sun and spinning stars, feel connected to the birds, bees, and worms.
Being in nature slows you down, supports you in being quiet and calm. It sows its own gift: the knowledge that we are influenced by the seasons, affected by the weather and that we are an intrinsic part of a natural system.
Cyclical living teaches us to embrace the ups and downs of life. We learn to take nothing personally especially not the force of life.
But truly the only way to be authentically centred is to see the ebb and flow of life in everything.
