Nature as a Healer

"If you wish to know the divine, feel the wind on your face and the warm sun on your hand."  


~Buddha

I have always had a deep love and connection to nature. As a young girl I would sit for hours in the branches of the tree behind our house and read or just be. I now realize my soul was already calling me to the shamanic path.

It feeds my soul and is such a deep way of healing for myself and others.
