'as I re-membered myself to the wilds, a deep understanding was not born, but re-awakened within me.. a connection passed down in my ancestral DNA. I felt the burden of modern life slide away as my nervous system calmed.. the clutter of my mind cleared, and I became present and engaged in my environment.. I felt the hyggelig sense of deep connection fill my heart.'

Nature is not a resource to be used..it is us.. we are nature. For over 90% of human existence we have lived in symbiosis with the natural world; taking no more than we needed, working with the seasons, the plants, the lights, the animals.. retreating to the treeline for rest and healing. Since the industrial revolution humans have become increasingly introverted and dissociated from the environment. The human experience has evolved faster than our nervous systems can keep up with. We are today bombarded with stressors and pressures, with no space to rest and heal in the way our bodies need. .. physiologically we are still designed to live, ground, absorb, rest, heal and thrive outdoors.. nature connection is not a wellness trend.. it is science.
