Life is a “dance” with the sole purpose to ENJOY and to rediscover who you are!
A “dance” filled with wonder, discoveries, and adventure.
A “dance” in harmony with NATURE and all other living creatures with whom we share this magical experience on this amazing planet.

We need to take note and remember:
“We do not “come into” this world – we come out of it, as leaves from a tree”
(Alan Watts)

As small children we KNOW this, but unfortunately our “modern human society” seems focused on EXACTLY the OPPOSITE!!!

DISCONNECTING people, especially children from NATURE, means DISCONNECTING them from LIFE!
Experiencing nature directly is essential for childrens’ physical health, mental health, and their appreciation of the natural world. It allows them to use all five senses: the sight of the vast ocean, the sound of the wind in the trees, the smell of sweet flowers, the feel of rough bark or smooth river stones, the taste of wild berries. No electronic device can replace that.

In fact, the disconnection and increased separation between today’s children and nature causes a condition that the author Richard Louv named “Nature-Deficit Disorder” with amongst others, symptoms such as: childhood obesity, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and childhood depression.

In addition, according to various Health Institutes, research has shown that regardless of race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, early childhood experiences in nature significantly influence the development of lifelong environmental attitudes and values.

Simply put: if children aren’t exposed to nature, they understandably develop less appreciation for it. In the need to restore some balance between human and natural resources, that understanding and appreciation are essential.

Nature education is most important Event

EVERY MOMENT COUNTS

“YOUR  decisions & actions in THIS moment, right NOW – determine YOUR destiny AND that of our planet and every other living creature!
Choose wisely, with love, respect and compassion!”
