The Open Earth: A Way into Stillness and Awareness

Kriste Peoples

  • Spending time in nature as a way to help our bodies self-regulate
  • How natural surroundings can reduce stress and produce stillness in our minds in a natural way, with no effort on our part
  • The importance of resurrecting our bond with nature and how it can move us past trauma
  • The comfort of recognizing that life is constantly evolving in nature as a way to understand that life is constantly evolving in us
  • Taking time to appreciate how nature does not judge and simply allows us to flourish in its presence
