some
will cast
their gaze
to the heavens
to an eclipse that may
bring new awakening

i’ll drop
my gaze
to the depths

“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.”
- William Shakespeare

This quote by Shakespeare speaks to the interconnectedness of all living beings through their shared natural essence. It suggests that a felt experience of ‘nature’ can transcend perceived cultural, social, and species boundaries. Nature, in its raw beauty and presence has, when given a particular kind of attention, the power to evoke universal emotions and stir a sense of commonality among beings. It offers a potent reminder of the fundamental bond that connects all living creatures. Irrespective of our individual backgrounds, ideologies or beliefs, we are all part of the greater tapestry of nature with our pulsing sensing animal bodies.

(So, go on, Mariah, touch it. I never would’ve thought your music would serve a purpose for me!)

Join us at Blue Rocks Cafe in Nature’s Valley this Wednesday as we launch NatureFix in South Africa!
Delighted to be collaborating with @nvtrust on this and excited to see how these kinds of nature-based solutions can better human and planetary health.

This NatureFix wellness trail installation also forms part of the broader ‘nature for health’ landscape we are creating with @kwendalo_sa as part of our Nature Referrals (NRx) programme, now piloting on the Garden Route.

Nature Referrals is an evidence-based health promotion intervention which enables medical professionals to formally ‘prescribe’ nature-based activities to their clients as a complementary treatment for physical and mental health issues.
