You’ve got this. We’ve got this.

After eight months, it’s probably safe to say we’re all growing a bit fatigued of living in our immediate environs. And, if your inboxes and phones look like ours do, you’re likely getting a bit worn down from pleas about an upcoming race. Well, this nature care package is here to remind you that you’re in charge of you. That’s right. Take a slice out of your day to catch your breath, recharge, and then go vote. You’ll feel better, we know we do!

RELEASE THIS

Tension, that is. We’ve been offering a “Tension Release Tuesdays” series to our network of Firesouls during this crisis as a means to, well, relax through sound healing and guided meditation. And we’re liking that feeling about now, so we want to share it with you — as a means to boost wellness as we social-distance into these cooler months, from the cozy comfort of home. Enjoy! 

Let the relaxation begin →

FOLLOW THIS

There’s good strange and bad strange. Some may say that 2020 has brought a little more of the bad variety, so let’s offset that with some of the good stuff. Atlas Obscura on Instagram can do the job — taking you to nature’s “strange and wondrous side” through gorgeous photography  and informative tidbits that remind us just how curious and wonderful our world really is.

LISTEN TO THIS

Volunteering feels good. What’s it like volunteering for lands and trails that we love? This podcast, Where We Walk, chronicles the journey of two women doing this very thing — and how it’s a “way we build paths – not just through the physical act, but also building connections, exposing ourselves to new experiences, taking on leadership roles” and more.

REMEMBER THIS

Way back in Early Covid Times, a father who’d lost his job headed into nature with his family to boost everyone’s spirits. He took a picture that went on to win a prize. We love this cheery, simple reminder that nature is here to welcome us all as we journey along during this crisis — and you never know what happy surprises await when you get there.
