Sometimes you receive a testimonial that just glows and this is one of those! I had the pleasure of support a team of children mental health workers last week. We spent 2 hours together at the beginning of their team retreat. I knew the rest of their day would involve a lot of heavy lifting and strategic planning and so creating common ground, easing tension (mind and body) and providing a nourishing experience was the focus. Here’s what unfolded!

In case I haven’t said it lately - I LOVE MY JOB and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work with teams like this.

Come sit with me for a minute…

We're losing the ability to notice. Trained by the distractions of our phones, our attention spans are absolutely toast.

Here are 3 things you can do to shift how you see in nature:

1. Stop looking for a "good subject." Start looking for a relationship - A tree by itself is just a tree. But if something has made you stop to look, there's often something worth exploring there... not leaving it behind thinking (I should have taken my camera out).

2. Turn your screen off for the first ten minutes - Leave your camera in your bag or just turned off. Sit. Notice where your eye goes when you aren't hunting for a photo. You have to SEE before you can make an image.

3. Let go of the rule of thirds completely - we believe in breaking rules around here! Fill the frame! Balance the scene. The rule of thirds is a guideline, not a requirement.

As one of our recent workshop participants put it:

"This is about first learning how to SEE in nature. You need to see before you can make an image."

If you struggle with composition, or if you're a nature photographer whose images don't quite match what you felt when you took the image, then you need space, time, and someone to teach you how to see again.

That is exactly why we built Rooted & Captured with

As another past participant shared:

"There is space for everyone no matter your skill level. Cobi is very inclusive and will tailor your learning to meet your needs."

No ego. Just reconnecting with nature. Reconnecting with camera. Connecting with a group of women who will likely remain your friend after the weekend.

But most importantly... Reconnecting with yourself.

A heartfelt and vulnerable reflection on what it feels like for me to show up in this space. Looking ahead to what comes next. Thinking of my needs and the needs of the community that has grown around The Wild Edge.

Good morning. This is a little invitation to pause and take a moment to listen to the sound of the rain. Not just to listen, but if you can to smell, to feel, to notice.
