SENSES

RELATE TO THE WORLD AROUND YOU

One of the most natural ways we connect with the world around us is through our senses and our relationship with nature is no different. Experiencing nature through sound, sight, smell, taste, and touch might sound simple but this often taken for granted way of relating is a powerful way to engage and reconnect with the more-than-human world to which we belong.

USING YOUR SENSES

How we reconnect is a personal thing and everyone will have their preferred ways of doing so. The amount of time is not necessarily important, rather it is what we do that matters and using your senses has been shown to be an effective first step in reconnecting with nature.

SENSORY ACTIVITIES TO TRY

• Feel the touch of grass or sand on your bare feet.

• Touch the bark of a tree, a flower or leaf and note the sensation you experience

• Breathe in the smell of a forest, flowers or the sea

• Taste food you have grown

• Listen to the calls of birds or animals

• Spot the nature that is around you whether in a city or rural area there is hidden nature everywhere for you to find
