We attended a group Forest Bathing event here in Germany at a Japanese Garden for Imran’s birthday last year and it was one of the loveliest experiences I’ve ever had (even with the language barrier!) And thanks for the reminder that it’s available to me every day!!
I continue to follow your journey with amazement and great curiosity. I stand with your pain regarding all the immigrant horrors and those horrors in Gaza et al. I've lived in a rural area my whole life and have learned to lean in and accept nature's balm on my soul. It's not always all roses. But who has a life that is?? I stand by for my adult children (20s) who are learning that if it's not one thing, it's another. Yup, everyone's going thru something, my children. I look forward to continuing to watch your journey and wish you wisps of joy to get you through the journey. They are what makes it all work.
Ahhh Neghar, a beautiful piece of your art here in this one! Thank you for these magic words! ✨✨✨
Also:
1) I just started an ecourse on Shinrin-yoku this week that was gifted to me back in December, such a magic synchronicity!
2) Despite our obviously different life experiences, so much of the themes of your words have always resonated with me. I had a cardiac ablation in 2011 that sparked a divorce in 2012 and a new career in healing arts in 2015. The last decade since has been excavating all the depths of my wounds through staying single and celibate and finding the greatest loves of my 47 years - platonic friendships…
…and now I find my way to the best of them, following my closest and bestest friend to Norway.
Your words have been such a gift and a balm over the years, I’m so grateful for their continued resonance today, with this piece!

That sounds amazing, Mary! I know they have some pretty incredible old growth forests in Germany as well. What a dream!
