Step into Nature: Nurturing Imagination and Spirit in Everyday Life
by Patrice Vecchione β
This is a guide that will replenish our connection to the earth and inspire us to develop and strengthen our imaginations.
It makes nature personal again by stimulating awareness and increasing our understanding of the environment.
Nature can be as close as opening the front door and opening our hearts to the sky above, to seeing the miniature gardens that push their way up between the sidewalk cracks in our cities and the small stream just down the road.
Vecchione demonstrates how nature can support and enhance our creative output, invigorate curiosity and restore our sense of connection to and love of the earth.
Included in the book is βThe Cabinet of Curiosities,β exercises and suggestions for practical and unexpected ways to stimulate our imaginations, deepen our relationships with nature, and experience the harmony between creativity and the natural world.
