It is here that people finding healing and reconnect with Nature. The red rock majesty helps us find perspective, balance and to renew ourselves. Nature invites us to be present. Nature accepts us unconditionally. While being in Nature, we can connect with ourselves effortlessly and feel good about who we are.

Nature is a Healer  

Nature as Sanctuary experiences are not done with the primary goal of physical exercise. It is not something to rush through. It requires mindfully moving through the landscape in ways that cultivate presence, opening of all of your senses, and actively communicating with the land and with the energy of the land. This gives Nature access to our physical, emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual being. As we do this, we begin to perceive ourselves, our minds and our hearts, in a more profound way. Messages from within and without begin to penetrate into our awareness and being even more deeply.

Nature as Sanctuary experiences is best seen as a practice, not a one-time event. Developing a meaningful relationship with Nature occurs over time and is deepened by returning again and again throughout the natural cycles of the seasons. It is a deeply relational practice, in which the relationship itself becomes a field of healing and a source of joyful wellbeing. Like energy healing, meditation, yoga, prayer, working out, Nature as Sanctuary is a practice and is best to learn it from a qualified guide.
