I facilitate people to connect with nature and “selves” to stimulate awareness and consciousness.
Why I Connect People with Nature and Their Natural Selves? – It’s the key to protect the planet.
When was the last time you had a quiet moment with nature? In today’s fast-paced world, we often prioritize productivity and success, filling our days with tasks and projects. While striving for these goals can be fulfilling, it’s important to remember our well-being. Are you truly happy in this moment?
I dream of enjoying nature with my loved ones well into my old age. However, the accelerating pace of climate change has filled me with anxiety about this dream’s realization. In my early twenties, I began seeking sustainable solutions to protect the planet. Through volunteerism, expeditions, and work with NGOs and social enterprises, I dedicated my efforts to finding solutions. Yet, I grew frustrated by the abundance of unimplemented and unsupported solutions worldwide. During my recovery from depression, I realized that humans are at the heart of the global disasters and catastrophes unfolding around us.
We are an integral part of nature. However, for centuries, civilization and capitalism have disconnected us from the natural world. This disconnection has led to a surge of negative emotions, including depression, anxiety, loneliness, anger, greed, and more. As a result, we have lost our ability to truly care for both people and the planet.
We need compassion, mindfulness and resilience to be sustainable as human, especially among entrepreneurs and changemakers. Eventually, we will act for the environment and society with resilient strength. The only way to develop compassion, mindfulness and resilience is by connecting ourselves to nature and ourselves. That is the purpose of forest bathing and nature coaching. It is the solution/service that I provide you to help you to face the challenges in your life and along the pathway in achieving your dream and goals.
