Note from Nature

Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.

​

As many have said, [The Spiritual Wisdom of Trees] course was so enlightening in so many ways! It lifted spirit, it allowed us to wonder, connected us physically and spiritually to the natural world, it engaged us in a community and more.  Thank you for all those who led in front and behind the screen!  It is a course I will carry with me for a lifetime.
