Nature’s Way
Taylor Bourassa-Wilson (Ottawa, ON)

The nature-based therapy that I ascribe to is rooted in these acknowledgments: recognizing the inherent interconnection between us and the more-than-human world, our reliance on and responsibility to the natural world, and the spiritual aspects which invariably show up when in connection with the land.

The beauty about preservation is that specific dichotomy between holding on and letting go: the flowers retain some of their vitality, all their memories, and change from what they once were. This change is what begs me to settle and become comfortable with the idea of letting go.

Nature’s Way

Trees have always held a special place in my heart: they’ve been home base since I was a child. If I was ever lost, sad, lonely, or scared, I could find refuge in, by, or under a tree. I knew that these strong souls would always have my back, and could support me through almost anything.
