Description of Challenge
There is always a time, when we feel disconnected from our own path, soul or
intention. Times where you needs to look deeper into youself to find out who (else) you
are and what wants to come alive.
At the same time: we live a modern life that is full of concrete, music, destruction,
emails, iphones and advertisements. There is little connection with sometimes even
fear of nature and the beauty of the world around us.
“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.” (John Muir)
Solution
In order to care for the world, yourself and others we need time to reconnect to the
natural world around us. Time with the seasons, the changes, trees, beauty and also
the hardness of the world that has been our natural surrounding for thousand of years.
At the same time, this solitude and connection to the outer nature is also a
reconnection to our inner nature (and our inner changes of seasons) it helps us to
regain strength and clarity again.
