Therapy Dog?  Pet?  Friend?  Animal?

Therapy Dog? Pet? Friend? Animal?

by Corie Washow | Jan 12, 2022 | Elemental Counseling, Nature Connection Practices

Meet our new puppy! Actually, the picture on top of this post was our new puppy, Fen, 4 months ago when we first got her.  It’s one of my favorite pictures so I had to throw it up there. This is Fen at 6 months, still determined to fit on her puppy sized bed,...
Mushrooms!!!

Mushrooms!!!

by Corie Washow | Jul 22, 2021 | Nature Based Healing Practices, Nature Connection Practices, Nature Reflections, Uncategorized

Marvelous Mushroom Magic Wowsers.  My daily dog walk, a familiar loop traveled easily hundreds, maybe even a couple thousand times, is suddenly a wealth of new and delightful discoveries.  Practically every color in the rainbow, ranging in size from a handful of...
Wildhearted Walking: Spring Guided Reflection

Wildhearted Walking: Spring Guided Reflection

by Corie Washow | Apr 12, 2021 | Guided Audio Reflections, Nature Connection Practices

Embracing Winter Part 2: Find the Cozy!

by Corie Washow | Jan 18, 2021 | Nature Connection Practices, Pandemic Coping

So, you’re all bundled up and ready to get outside (and if you’re not, check out Part 1).  But it’s cold.  How about I just stay inside? I fully agree that being indoors on a cold day feels good.  There is good reason many creatures hibernate during the winter,...

Embracing Winter, Part 1: Logistics

by Corie Washow | Jan 14, 2021 | Nature Connection Practices, Pandemic Coping

It’s officially cold.  And dark. (Although a little less dark every day, it is important to note.)  Dark and cold can wear on our bodies and emotions at the best of times—which the winter of 2020/21 is most definitely not.  I see increased fatigue,...
