Experience Nature As Healer 
Discover how everyday-anywhere nature can:  guide, calm, inform, and restore you. Nature can elicit a sense of restoration and protection, comfort and guidance.
Beautiful - compelling images support Marlow Shami's focus on the challenges and rewards of connecting with nature in a mass-technological culture.
Studies conducted over the past twenty years confirm what we know instinctually -- that contact with the natural world and meditation can lift your spirits, reduce anxiety, alleviate pain, increase brain function, and help cultivate a sense of belonging and compassion.
