WELCOME
As a society, we spend less and less time outdoors; therefore, we have less and less direct contact with the more than human world. We are suffering from an “extinction of experience.” This disconnect fosters an alienation that limits our sense of belonging to the entire community. In the outdoors, we can learn firsthand the stories of plants and animals, land, air, and water; only by knowing the stories can we feel part of the story. Only by being outdoors can we care about the outdoors. We can be effective environmental stewards with a better understanding of the interrelationships that support ecosystem services. Time outdoors also provides a host of physical, emotional, and social benefits, along with being a lot of fun. This increased awareness leads to a deeper, more profound connection to the sacred in which we can accept Earth’s wisdom and reciprocate with gratitude and action.
