Here's a nature practice you can try on your own. One of these days I'll figure out how to breathe, smile while holding the camera, AND find good lighting all at the same time. Feel free to leave a comment if you try it. I'm interested to hear!
Here is a link to one of Dr. Michael Cohen's books you can check out if interested in further exercises: Reconnecting With Nature. I am working to develop my own exercises, but for now my intent is to post one video per week of my takeaways from participating in Project NatureConnect courses.

The Moor
By R. S. Thomas
(1913 - 2000)
It was like a church to me.
I entered it on soft foot,
Breath held like a cap in the hand.
It was quiet.
What God was there made himself felt,
Not listened to, in clean colours
That brought a moistening of the eye,
In movement of the wind over grass.
There were no prayers said. But stillness
Of the heart's passions -- that was praise
Enough; and the mind's cession
Of its kingdom. I walked on,
Simple and poor, while the air crumbled
And broke on me generously as bread.
