Last spring, I had the joy of holding space for a dear friend to make personal retreat.

One of the practices we decided to engage was quite simple.

Head outside to be in nature.

We spent time wandering, noticing, and then creating nature mandalas.

Sitting on the greening earth, we savored a sacred pause. Laying back and looking at the sky, slowly we came back to ourselves.

Restoration, healing and insight often come one breath at a time.
