One of the most important ways to regain balance in our high-tech lives is by emphasizing nature. It may seem trivial to talk about the benefits of flowers on an entry table or open windows to let in fresh air. Actually they can have a tremendous impact on wellness and quality of life. “Stop and smell the roses” is such a simplistic phrase, but it is a key tool to a more balanced lifestyle.
A couple of weeks ago I attended a workshop given by Laura Iarocci, who will be joining me on my Balance Through Nature field trip. I let myself be surrounded by her world of plants, flowers and the concept of creating beauty through nature and left feeling fully rejuvenated.
I hope you will consider joining me for my field trip later this month, but meanwhile, here is a link to the work of Ansel Adams. His celebration of the drama and subtleties of nature was groundbreaking. Take a minute to enjoy… and then see if you can join us on April 23rd!
