“Being in nature feels like I’m being back in my culture” Student
The modern world sends us so many messages about who we are, who we should be, and how we are measuring up to others. It can be a really confusing place especially if you are a child. There is something about the natural world that removes that confusion and helps us back to our true selves. Time and time again students tell us that they feel at home, safe, comfortable and happy when they are outside. They breathe a little deeper and stand a little taller as their share their knowledge, insights and skills with peers.
