Nature’s Peace

Next time you take a walk in nature look around and ask yourself: “Is there any tree, animal, plant or mineral that is struggling over-efforting here?”  I think that is why we receive so much nourishment and balancing in Nature;  it reflects back to us an easeful way of being.

Full Bloom is currently composed of a 13 adults and 3 children who are intentionally moving towards a more easefull way of a being, of moving, of relating.  A way of being that models the intelligence of the natural world.  The practices of Yoga, movement arts and dance, wilderness awareness, and permaculture design are invaluable tools that previous generations have left for us that facilitate this process, guide our journey.

Last weekend most of us (some parents were doing nap time)  took a walk through the forest adjacent to our property.  During the hike I notice how transformative it is to be in truly wild nature with these other individuals.  We let in the “spirit” of the natural world and begin relating to each other in different ways.  There a subtle air of sacredness that begins to infect the group.

I look forward to sharing the land here and its gifts with many individuals in the future as we open the Gates of Full Bloom to the broader public.  The Natural world has so much to teach us, so much to medicine to offer us if we only allow ourselves the opportunity.

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.” John Muir
