Nature: The Timeless Healer

If you pick up a book of poetry, read through religious texts, browse an art museum, or listen to a song, you’ll find that throughout time — in every culture and in every religion — there has always been a connection to nature.

Jesus went to the Wilderness. Buddha sat beneath the Bodhi Tree. Ganga was personified in the Ganges River. Galileo studied the stars.

For thousands of years, humans have gone to nature for survival and for healing, but with today’s fast-paced lifestyle and our dependence on technology, our relationship with Mother Earth has been severed.

We have forgotten how to connect. We have forgotten how to show reciprocity. We have forgotten that humans and nature are intrinsically tied together.

Explore Sanctuary’s goal is to help others re-connect to themselves and to the natural world by offering guided nature and forest therapy walks and curated nature therapy retreats.
