How To
Play.
Prepare.
This is a playful exploration so allow it to go wherever it flows.
Be open and curious, take a child-like approach.
Give yourself at least 30 mins for the experience (although you can spend an entire day doing this too).
Grab a journal and some pens or pencils.
Select A Card.
Choose a card by clicking on one that you are most drawn to.
In your journal, note down the keywords, Life's Principle or activity that is detailed on the back of your card.
You can also include anything that stood out to you in the image on the front of the card e.g. colours, patterns, texture, species, etc.
Take a phone screen shot if you need to.
Go Outside.
Find a spot in or near nature to settle in (this could be your patio or garden, however the wilder the place the more exciting the adventure).
Take 3 deep breaths. Drop your awareness to your heart, feel a deep sense of gratitude for what you love most in the world and hold onto that feeling.
Set Intention.
Set your intention for this experience.
An example might be:
"I set the intention now to playfully explore both inner and outer nature with child-like curiosity and openness."
Explore.
Using the keyword or principle that you noted in your journal as inspiration, observe and explore your surroundings.
Let your attention settle on an aspect of nature that you feel drawn to - this could be a tree, a plant, an animal, a bird, an insect, the soil, nearby water, or the sky.
Nature often communicates in subtle ways so be curious about what is calling your awareness. It is meaningful - even if your understanding only unfolds over time.
Be Inspired.
You’ll note that the keywords on some of the cards are human-centric. They depict different experiences that we encounter along our journeys.
We’re playing with the idea that these experiences may be reflected in nature too..
Be enchanted by the magic of nature and explore your surroundings to find examples both physical or metaphorical.
Connect.
Another joyous aspect of the life is sharing with each other.
This is a genuine invitation to connect with me if this feels right for you.
Reach out if you would like to explore your discoveries more deeply.
With much love,
Jane.
