Each day this week, we will dive into how to become more intimately connected with the natural world. You will be introduced and participate with some of your 54 natural senses/sensitivities. The first two days will lay the groundwork for our work together as we dive deeper and deeper throughout the week. Day 1: We will begin with an activity using our Sense of Appetite. We'll talk about Our Disconnect, How Science Supports Our Connection With Nature; Why It's Important to Develop a Respect for Nature; How to Build A Relationship With Nature; and How to Gain Consent when participating with any aspect of the natural world. Day Two: You will be introduced to The 3 C's: Connecting with the Natural World and The G Force: Connecting Deeper which comprise The Ten Steps of Connecting with the Natural World. We will conclude with participation in another of our senses, the Sense of Color. Day Three: You will learn about Natural Attractions and how to use them to connect with the natural world on a richer, more intimate by immersing yourself in a walk through the park (virtually, of course). You will be introduced the GTT (Greatest Trustable Truth). We'll also discuss what to do if you live in an urban area that doesn't have a park/forest/etc. nearby and participate in an activity that demonstrates how nature is everywhere, even in the city. Day Four: We will discuss how nature and spirituality are interwoven with one another - or can be. Day Five: On this last day, you will be introduced to some of your mental senses as well as some of your feeling senses. Participation in a few activities related to these senses will also be an aspect of this final day together.
