- What is it like to be here and now with this place? Describe it with as many senses as you can.
- What are you grateful for right now?
- When I’m most connected to Nature, I remember…
- Gather something respectfully from this location. Then start a story with Once Upon A Time…
- Nature moves at its own pace. What is it like for you to be in Nature time?
- Allow your gaze to scan this location. Let your attention fall where it wants. What do you notice? Are there any memories, stories, emotions, or even a song or poem that show up? If nature speaks in metaphor, why do you think this is showing up for you right now in your life?
- Relationship check in:
- What has your relationship with Nature been like?
- What is it like now?
- How would you like it to be?
- Imagine you are hearing a conversation between the living and non-living parts of this place. Take a moment to deeply listen and record what you might be hearing.
- Take a different perspective and write what you observe. Maybe get closer to the ground or get up higher. You may even imagine this place from an eagle eye’s view or from a ladybug’s perch.
- If you were a being who had never been to earth before and ended up right here, right now. What might you notice about this new planet? How would you describe it to others who had never seen it?
- In what ways are you connected to this place? Is it through the air you breathe? Do your ancestors come from here or a place connected to this place? Do animals travel between here and where you live? What other ways are you and Nature connected?
