Four Healing Outdoors Projects

1) End of August:  Look for a registration sheet on the Healing Outdoors webpage as I offer monthly guided healing walks on Whidbey Island, where trees are more plentiful than people.  Using my knowledge from thousands of hours on Whidbey Island trails, I will select a route based on needs of each group of up to 10 folks, open to anyone.  Everyone will receive a copy of my book of 20 simple nature connection exercises.  Leave your desk and life stresses and reconnect your senses to the feedback loop of nature. 

2) Every 2 weeks:  Newsletter article on the topic of healing stress and trauma via nature connection, combining real-time autobiography in my own nature adventures and publications by ecopsychologists.  These articles will form a skeleton of work using the Natural Systems Thinking Process toward my own master's degree in Applied Ecopsychology. 

3) Creating a database of nature connection exercises anyone can do from a variety of environments via the feedback and suggestions of people participating in Healing Outdoors events.  

4) Design and write up a 2-day nature reconnection retreat program for family caregivers in hospitals, who I would add to the list in the quote below (along with anyone stuck in a cubicle without windows and medical transcriptionists listening 8+ hours a day to dictated reports of patient medical traumas for hospitals ; ), something I happen to understand too well).  


"In the early 1980s, I began to wonder about practical applications and asked myself, “Which groups of people experience a lot of emotional duress and might benefit from a view of nature?” The answer was hospital patients and prisoners."  - Roger S. Ulrich
