**Why I am passionate about reconnecting with nature**
Last night I did a talk on vibrant spring herbs for health and wellbeing.
How we look after ourselves and how we look after Mother Earth are deeply intertwined. Foraging with care gives us an opportunity to deepen our connection with both — nourishing ourselves while remembering we are not separate from nature. We are nature.
We are part of nature. Whole and complete.
And I believe our perceived separation from nature is where many of our problems begin.
This idea that we are above nature, separate from her, able to control her, consume what we like, and take without consequence — this is where the root of our problems lies.
Working with nature, and truly understanding that we ARE nature, strips away so much of the unhelpful overlay.
Our real mum is Mother Nature.
When we show her love and respect, when we engage in a reciprocal relationship with her, then love, connection and abundance flow through the gifts of nature — in a lived, felt way, where form and formlessness meet and we remember there was never any separation.
The human race stands on a cliff edge.
The more we come back to who we truly are and reconnect, the better.
Our true nature is innate wellbeing. When we strip back the unhealthy noise that our thinking can generate, this is what we come back to.
Whole and complete.
Part of nature.
One with nature.
I believe one of the most important action we can take for our mental health is to reconnect with nature, with our true nature, and with what was never separate.
This is the driving force behind the work I do.
