    How can spending more time outdoors enhance your sense of place -- your deep knowledge of and appreciation for your surroundings?

    Spending time in nature helps give me a more well-rounded view of my place in the world, and how I interact with the other parts of nature. I have a special place on the earth, just like every plant and animal, and I have the responsibility and privilege to use and care for everything around me with respect.

    Have you ever had a significant experience in nature that altered your perspective or focus? If so, please describe it.

    I've always loved spending time in nature, but it's been many years since I've had a garden. My friend gifted me one of her tomato plants, and taking care of it inspired my to get back into gardening. I cut and dried lilacs for the first time to use as tea, and I'm enjoying taking care of my peace lily plant (which needs to be repotted into a bigger planter!). By growing and caring for my own plants, I've come to have a greater appreciation for how our food is grown, and I now want to try to grow my own. An herb garden is next on my list!🌿

      Hi Gianna! I am also starting an herb garden soon! My apartment's patio would be the perfect spot to start one. I have not tried making my own tea but you have inspired me to look into it!

    Mindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How does your eating experience differ when practicing mindfulness?

    Eating fresh fruits and vegetable is healthier, has more minerals.

    For the past four or five years, i’mve chosen to be a vegan.
    Funny how that can end up being lots of legumes and grains, and veg can still sit languishing in the fridge.
    I promise myself to get back on track.
    4 cups of veggies, it is. Here I go!

    Hello! I’m glad there is a team I can join. After noting all the closed teams with passwords, it was a relief to find the community team. I hope you are all ok that I am here, working with all of you to see what I can do to make a difference.
    Late last year, I realized I had been so focused on my work for so long, I hadn’t really taken any time to explore other things I’m really interested in and find important, like protecting our earth. I took up crocheting first, then,
    I actually began a mini exploration into all of this, and realized just how much I don’t know, and how much there must be that I can change, just me, myself.
    The discussions I began having were really fascinating, and I learned so much from friends and colleagues who had paid attention to this for decades. Oh, but I have so much more to learn!
    I happened upon this website this evening - unexpectedly - and am so excited to begin the challenge! It feels good, doesn’t it? More aligned. For me, also, I’m wondering, why didn’t I do this decades ago, too? I’m just so glad I’ve now begun.
    I look forward to reading about all of your insights!
