Why we plant Wild Ginger on the other side of the road? Human beings built a road that separates the forest. Ants are enlisted by nature to regenerate this primeval place, but we must help them.
This is a busy time of year for us because it is when the big melt happens in the high country and we must begin our efforts to restore the forest understory and meadow habitat. We must also restore Cottonwoods and other wild species that support drainages.
Clearcut logging is killing the Earth, and you and I can do what corporations, institutions and governments are not doing...we can go out and fix the damage that they have created...if we don't who will?
Removing nature from our everyday lives has reached epidemic proportions as human civilization has become more urbanized. This is causing us to actually lose sight of both trees and the forest. This element of nature deficit disorder is called “plant blindness” and it represents an informally-proposed form of cognitive bias, which in its broadest meaning, is a human tendency to ignore plant species.
This includes such phenomena as not noticing plants in the surrounding environment, not recognizing the importance of plant life to the whole biosphere and to human affairs, a philosophical view of plants as an inferior form of life compared to animals and/or the inability to appreciate the unique features or aesthetics of plants.
At the Wildcraft Forest School we teach people to become Yasei Shinrin Yoku Guides and Practitioners and we have even developed a clinical program connected to this practice which takes a wilder approach to forest therapy but also combines with forms of Earth-based spiritually and practical applications of stewardship. Yasei is now being delivered in over 30 countries.
Our world both locally and globally is in a great transition so it becomes important to plan our lives so that we can continue to survive and thrive during these challenging times. So I would like to share with you a few important points as to why you might want to embrace this training for economic reasons.
We should be planning for community-based public healthcare now and not later. There are a lot of indicators that suggest that our world is coming apart at the seams and what is becoming deeply apparent is that the economy and civilization in general are contracting and simplifying. We are now tasked with figuring out how we will deliver our required, food, energy, healthcare and education locally not to mention all the goods and services that we rely on but often take for granted.
Regardless of how our present institutions seek to plan the future of wellness and healthcare they will not meet with their goal of a singular uniformity of service. There are simply too many unique people who have a different individual approach to their own health and well being.
There are solutions.
A seminary for Faith-Based Scholars that explores the elements of faith and spiritual connection with nature. This seminary is non-denominational and pan-spiritual and takes place within a Healing Forest and in a camp environment. This event seeks to help faith-based scholars imagine how nature, ecology, stewardship and Forest Therapy can be incorporated into their work.
Nature brings us in touch with the Creator. Trees, forests and all living beings represent our extended family – our kin. This event seeks to help faith-based scholars imagine how nature, ecology, stewardship and Forest Therapy can be incorporated into their work.
“This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.”
― Susan Polis Schutz
As a cognitive bias this can actually negatively impact our mental and physical health as well as how we socially interact with each other and the world around us. Cognitive biases can affect one’s decision-making skills, limit problem-solving abilities, hamper career success, damage the reliability of memories, and can challenge one’s ability to respond in crisis situations. The condition can also increase anxiety and depression, and impair one’s relationships.
