Engage your senses

     How do we re-engage our senses after lengthy times spent in front of a screen and technology?
        One sure fire way is to get outside.
               Surround yourself in the natural world.
Give yourself space and time to engage all of your senses.
Sight, Touch, Smell, Hearing, Taste.
  • Leave technology behind. (Yes, this means your phone & music) and unplug for a few moments. 
  • Give yourself a moment to pause.                                     (You'll be surprised at how many sounds you will hear when you are still versus when you are on the move).
  • Invite curiosity along.
  • The natural world is filled with different textures.           (When was the last time you held a smooth pebble?)
  • Take a deep intentional breath.                                         (Is there a subtle scent that you had yet to notice?)
  • Change your viewpoint & perspective.                               (What happens when you are up close to something small on the ground? What do you notice that you may have missed?)
If finding lengthy amounts of time to reconnect with the natural world is an issue, aim for smaller moments.

​I am grateful to be living and working within the unceded territory

I honor the relationships with the WeWaiKai, WeiWaiKum, and Kwiakah Nations,⁠ along with the 
​Homalco, Coast Salish, Klahoose, K'omoks, Metis and Inuit Indigenous peoples.
​I am thankful for, and wish to respectfully acknowledge their generosity of spirit
and their historical and ongoing stewardship of these beautiful lands.
