“Nature can be viewed as a diverse and loving extended family that is always available to support us. It reminds us that we are part of a vast and beautiful web of life. It encourages our interests, draws out our strengths, and teaches us about what matters, like a healthy extended human family would. If we attune to it, the natural world can speak to us very deeply. As Indigenous people have known for millennia, all aspects of nature have wisdom and medicine to share, and respectful contact with nature allows us to access that medicine.”
