How has this experience impacted your connection with nature and wellness?

I am writing to share my heartfelt feedback on my recent experience. I love to hike and just simply be in nature. Lane, from Elemental Recovery explained how nature can be healing; helping me to understand why I feel so restored and grounded after spending time outside.

Lane pointed out specific trees like the Hemlock, Mountain Laurel, and Pine; teaching us about the powerful boosts that each can have on our well-being. Taking this intentional time in the forest helped to awaken my senses…like noticing the sun shine through the canopy of Mountain Laurel trees, feeling the texture of moss on the trees and rocks, hearing the crunch of the leaves, and hearing the beautiful “hoots” from our owl friend.

It was especially neat to learn how certain trees release phytoncides and to actually experience them firsthand due to a fallen pine tree we saw and smelled! I also learned that phytoncides aren’t limited to the forest environments and that I can benefit from similar plant compounds at home, like cutting fresh vegetables in my kitchen.

This realization was a great reminder that even small, everyday moments can also support my well-being.

Overall, this experience was very beneficial, and it truly gave my nervous system exactly what it needed. I left feeling lighter and more calm. More connected to nature and to myself, and more aware of how I can intentionally support my mental and physical health.

Thank you for such a meaningful opportunity of learning and healing.

With gratitude,

Lindsey
