Suggestions for wandering well:

• Pick an area you would like to explore. You may choose a place you know well or not at all. You can also do a little more research into the history, plants, animals, and geological conditions of this area. Who are or were the tenders to this area? 
• Invite someone to wander with you if you’d like.
• Prepare yourself with clothing, sunscreen, water, good shoes, hat, glasses, and anything else that can help keep you safe and relatively comfortable. Refrain from bringing anything that would disturb you, others, or the environment around you. When you get to the location take a moment to transition to this space and time of day/ night.  Notice what you might want to leave behind temporarily. Try on an attitude or wander and wonder as you get ready to go. Perhaps you mute your phone and tuck it away now.
• Try greeting the  area, the land, the vegetation, structures, other living beings in a way that feels right for you. That might be a simple bow,  a spoken word, a special ritual of your own, or an intentional breath in and back out again.
• Now wander tuning into each of your senses, pacing yourself as it feels right for you for that specific place and time, noticing any thoughts as you become aware of all that is around you. You may choose to wander in silence, or you may choose to have a deliberate conversation with your companion. 
• Take some pauses along the way as it is safe and not in the way of others. Allow yourself to check in with anything going on inside and outside of you.
• As you conclude your wandering, take a moment to transition back to your daily life. Pause to say goodbye to this space in a way that works for you. You could offer a thought or words of gratitude, there might be a poem or song that comes to mind to say or sing, maybe pick up some debris as you leave, or find a unique way of signifying your parting.
• After your wandering you may want to continue in the wandering attitude. That might look like keeping a slower pace for a while longer, journaling, nourishing your body with food and drink, or taking the tool of wonder or curiosity to your next activity.
