Immersed in Nature
We’re curious. What does being “immersed in nature” mean for you?
Everyone has a different idea about this concept.
We just spent a week in the Canadian Rockies — around Banff, Kananaskis Country and Canmore. Just driving around the area is a powerful experience. It’s as if our eyes are being gently massaged by the magnificent scenery.
Aquamarine glacial lakes and rivers, asymmetrical granite peaks, mountain wildflowers and wildlife provide a living meditation. It’s total rejuvenation and we realize that the weather conditions seem unimportant. If it’s chilly and raining, you choose different activities, but you’re still experiencing the peace and inspiration of your surroundings.
We don’t live a stressful life, but we can feel our bodies relax and our minds become clear as we hike and explore this spectacular environment. There is a healing simplicity in the mountains and it is our desire to share the essence of this experience with anyone who seeks this connection.
We’d love to hear from you. In what way do you connect with nature and what effect does it have on your life, your mind, your creativity and your spirit?

Well you know that we have to deal with a flat country, but I love it, so easy for bike riding. My connection with nature is feeling the wind through my hair while bike riding, sometimes with relaxing music in my ears. But I can also joy the silence of a small water and let my thoughts flow. I also don’t have a stressful life, but sometimes it is really just great to be that “little one” in nature.
Really nice, Truus! Thanks for sharing.
Great travel location Greg and thank you for sharing!
Thank you for connecting!
Thank you, Greg, for your expression of appreciation for Nature and for the lovely lake picture. My feelings of immersion in Nature come these days from my early morning walk in the woods, up a ravine with a friend and our dogs. The pleasure of that walk stays with me throughout the day and gives me a deep sense of balance and connectedness with myself. I love it!
That’s really nice, Mary!
