A 'sit spot' is a place in Nature where we return regularly to sit quietly, observe, and simply be present. It might be beneath a favorite tree, beside a stream, in a garden, or on a quiet patch of land close to home. Through regular visits, we begin to notice what we might otherwise overlook: the changing light, the arrival of birds, the movement of insects, the scent of the soil, and the subtle transitions between seasons. What once seemed ordinary becomes a source of discovery and wonder. A sit spot also offers an opportunity to slow down, quiet the demands of daily life, and awaken our senses. In the practice of Personal Rewilding, a sit spot becomes a place of reconnection. It teaches patience, encourages curiosity, deepens our understanding of local ecology, and nurtures a sense of belonging to the land. Over time, familiarity can grow into affection, and affection can inspire responsibility. Find a place. Return often. Sit quietly. Pay attention. Let the relationship grow.

Stewardship is more than improving our own well-being today; it is about accepting our responsibility to those who will come after us. Every tree we plant, habitat we protect, resource we conserve, and sustainable choice we make contributes to the natural world the next generation will inherit. We are invited to look beyond our immediate comforts and conveniences to consider the lasting consequences of our actions. We may not live to see the full benefits of our efforts, and that is precisely the point. True stewardship is an act of hope, gratitude, and generosity toward a future we may never experience.

The connection between human beings and Nature goes beyond a physical space. Our relationship with the living world is necessary for the well-being of our minds, bodies, and for some, spirits. It is a scientifically proven fact. We are not 'optimized' for society without regular access to and spending time in natural settings.

Stewardship begins with the land we inhabit every day. Our own lawns, gardens, and properties may seem small in the grand scheme of conservation, but together they form a network of opportunities to nurture life. By planting native species, reducing pesticide use, conserving water, protecting soil, and making space for pollinators and wildlife, we can transform private property into part of a healthier ecosystem. We don't have to own vast wilderness to make a difference. We simply have to recognize that the land we call our own is not separate from nature, but part of it. Personal stewardship means that we stop viewing our land as something we control, but something we are responsible for nurturing.

Colonialism erased centuries-old ways of living in harmony with the earth, forcing people to abandon their ancestral bonds to the land, and instead see it as property to plunder. Rivers that were once sacred became polluted highways of commerce. Forests were cleared not for survival but for profit. Colonial powers transformed Nature from a source of life to an object of control, exploiting both the earth and the people bound to it. This was no accident. The foundation of colonialism rested on domination: the belief that some people and ways of life, and some species were superior to others. It was an ideology that not only justified violence and enslavement, but also redefined our relationship with the planet. Indigenous knowledge systems were violently suppressed, replaced by the extractive mindset that fuels ecological collapse today. Decolonization means unlearning the destructive habits colonialism ingrained in us and reawakening a relationship with the earth that is rooted in kinship, not conquest. Indigenous peoples have carried this wisdom through centuries of oppression, showing us what it means to live in reciprocity with the world. It means standing for the earth, to reject the lie of dominion, and to reclaim a future where the land, waters, and skies can heal, and where we can heal alongside them.

The 'Rights of Nature' movement is gathering momentum as a new European Citizens' Initiative has been launched, aiming to gather one million signatures from across the EU over the next 12 months in support of recognising the 'Rights of Nature' in European law. This builds on years of campaigning, research, and work, exploring how the rights of ecosystems might be recognised and protected within our legal systems. The Nature's Rights Bill passed its second reading in the House of Lords back in July and is now awaiting its committee stage in the UK. Much of the wider Nature's Rights movement has been led by Indigenous peoples and communities elsewhere in the world. The particular significance of these conversations gathering momentum in Britain and Europe, where so much of the colonial and extractivist thinking that has contributed to today's ecological crises originated, is proof that the way people are seeing the world differently, as well as their place in it. It is powerful to see these conversations emerging, unpicking conditioned ways of thinking, and reconnecting with older, earth-centred ways of seeing and relating to the living world that were once part of our own cultures.

We have forgotten the universal law of reciprocity, which dictates that people, nature, and energy naturally return what is given to them. This means that positive or negative actions, resources, and attitudes circle back to the sender. When we take more than we give or when what we give is not of equal value to what we've taken, the universe is imbalanced. We take natural resources and give back trash that does not nourish the planet. We need clean air and oxygen, but we cut down the trees that create it, knowing full well that it will take a hundred years for a new tree to mature and produce what we need now.

The community is larger than many think. It is not just human beings, but other-than-human beings, too - all living creatures: plants and animals. We all exist in a complex, living system. When one part of that system fails, we all suffer. When we forget that we are only a small part of the natural world, not its owner or executor, we create long-term and sometimes catastrophic damage to the system. Period.

The suffix -latry means "worship of" or "excessive veneration/devotion to" a specified person, object, or concept. It comes from the Ancient Greek -latria (-λατρεία) and Late Latin latria, meaning "worship" or "service paid to the gods". Related forms include -later (denoting the person who worships, such as an idolater) and -latrous (the adjective form, such as idolatrous). There are definitely worse things to worship!
