Episode 5—Knowledge and Trees (Ecotherapy Podcast)

In episode 5 of Nature Therapy Online, I talk about how I came to nature therapy/ecotherapy with virtually no knowledge of nature at all, and yet I connected with nature through the pure beauty of trees.

Have you ever felt that your knowledge of nature isn’t ‘good enough’ to appreciate it properly? Have you ever connected deeply with a beautiful tree and then wondered if you ‘should know more’ about it for that connection to be worthwhile?

In this episode I share some thoughts and feelings on knowledge and trees, and I share a simple but powerful exercise that you can do with a tree you are drawn to.

Episode 7—Nature, Photography and Impermanence

Nature is showing us every day how the world never stays the same. In every second, the nature around you has shifted. One moment, there’s a wind. The next, a small bird flies by. The next moment, a leaf falls from a tree. Next, it’s raining, or the clouds clear to let in the sun’s light.

All of this—and so much more—can happen in the space of just a few moments in one single place where you stand. How much of this do we really pay attention to though?
