Nature & the Outdoors

Spending time in nature restores the senses, regulates the nervous system, and reconnects us to the rhythms of the natural world with which we were created to engage deeply. Nature connects us to God and tells the story of His astounding creativity and love. So much in our modern world disconnects us from nature, and we reap the harmful consequences’ impact on our physical, mental and spiritual health and wholeness. Whether it’s through a forest walk, a lakeshore visit, tending houseplants and gardens, caring for animals, exploring herbs and spices, or simply noticing the sky or the delicate organization of seasonal flowers, the natural world invites healing, insight and wholeness. At Soul & Story Creative, we encourage nature-based creativity and self-care practices that remind us we are part of a larger living story.
