Everyone knows that being in nature can help you feel less anxious, more centered, and at peace. The sound of a waterfall, a swaying green canopy, a distant horizon--all of these things slow your heart rate, open your lungs, and calm your mind. But what if--like most North Americans--you live in a suburb or a city and can't go into the great outdoors every day? Naturalist Andrea Debbink will show you that nature is all around you, even in the densest metropolis and will teach you how to find wildness in a city sparrow, beauty in a roadside dandelion, and stillness on a park bench. Organized by month, this guided journal encourages you to center yourself in the cycle of the seasons through:
- Nature-inspired meditation exercises
- Outdoor activities and crafts
- Flora and fauna trackers
- Weather charts
- Urban foraging tips
