How to Listen More Deeply, Both to Nature and People

Nature Connection with Rebecca: Letters of Wonder from My Ecosystem to Yours π October 18, 02026 π First-quarter Moon Dear friends, Here's one specific way that connecting to nature can also help you connect better to other people. (You can also click here to watch the video version of this letter). One exercise you can do to help you deepen your sensory experience of nature is a Sense Meditation. Practice this regularly for a little while. Then, when you're in a group of other people and you're trying to make a decision, or you're working on a project together, listen for the quietest voice in the group. Make sure that voice is being heard and that persons' contributions are being listened to and valued. So that way, everybody gets to feel like they are a part of the process and they're being included fully. Try this out and see where it takes you! :) -Rebecca π P.S.

Nature Connection with Rebecca: Letters of Wonder from My Ecosystem to Yours π October 10, 02026 π New Moon Dear friends, Today I have a Book Review to share with you. Lonesome for Wilderness: Tracking and Trailing in Forest, Desert, or Your Own Back Yard by Linda Jo Hunter A while ago I got curious about animal tracking, so I ordered a bunch of books on the topic from the library. Most of them were field guides, stuffed full of technical information and images of tracks, sorted by species....
Nature Connection with Rebecca: Letters of Wonder from My Ecosystem to Yours π October 3, 02026 πLast Quarter Moon Dear friends, For a while now, I've been really into Nature Journaling with pen. Unlike with pencil, of course, you can't erase. I think this helps me to be a little looser with my sketches and less perfectionist. But... sketches are still a way of recording information. What do you do if you make a "mistake" and the drawing (and therefore, the information) is inaccurate? It's OK...
Nature Connection with Rebecca: Letters of Wonder from My Ecosystem to Yours π September 26, 02026 πFull Harvest Moon Dear friends, I've always loved Disney movies. However, I usually find myself feeling irritated about the live-action remakes. I'm a huge fan of animation, and I think it deserves to be taken more seriously as an art form. Why would you try to improve on something that's already a masterpiece? I don't need to be looking at real people and celebrity actors to be able to enjoy...
