Story & Experience
On June 15, 2017 the young adult women at The Willows Recovery Program came together to share and honor their connections to the earth for the Global Earth Exchange. We began the activity by exploring our personal connections to the natural world, and each woman shared around their “special place” in nature. Then, after a discussion about the woundedness (yet resilience) of nature, each participant set off for a sit spot to which she felt drawn, and remained there for half an hour, simply experiencing the place. Upon return to the group, we shared our experiences. Finally, the women created radical joy birds out of found materials, and offered these birds back to their spots as an act of gratitude.”
