Being with the Earth: Plants and Animals

Signed by Summer

Animal therapy can be an important part of connecting with the earth, as we explore the land and plants together. Animals give us a way to be playful. When I go out to walk the dog, the dog more often walks me, encouraging me to get outside more. If you have farm animals or chickens, spend time with them outside. It's a form of supporting your reconnection to the earth. Another way is to have a garden. It can be a simple herb garden with plants that are easy to grow, or you could have a raised bed with different vegetables like corn or carrots. You could have chickens, or maybe just a simply designed outdoor area to relax, to walk around outside and notice how the seasons change. Noticing how things grow with the seasons is one of the benefits of becoming closer to the earth and its changes.
