E12 - Befriending Nature

This episode invites listeners to slow down and connect with the natural world, whether it’s a forest path, a single city tree, or a potted plant at home. Sarah Garwood reflects on the calming, grounding presence of nature and the small wonders it offers—the scent of rain, the warmth of sunlight, the quiet patience of growing things. She emphasizes that befriending nature is about noticing, caring for, and learning from it, building a relationship that nurtures both the earth and ourselves. Nature becomes a steady companion, offering peace, perspective, and beauty in every season.
