Our Place in the World (Taking in a View) (S2E8)

In this episode of the ecotherapy podcast, we explore the power of a good view. I invite you to connect with a special view as we take a mindful walk together.

For this episode, I took a walk in my village in Midlothian, Scotland, and I took in a view that mesmerises me. On a clear day, for miles into the distance, I can see forest, sea, mountains, hills and the magnificent city of Edinburgh. The feelings that arise in me when being present with this mighty view are inexplicable. There is just this sense of smallness and of true connection. A sense of truly being a part of this, not a separate self looking upon a picture from the outside. I also ponder on the many associations (personal and cultural) that can arise when there is so much to take in.

I hope you enjoy this episode of the nature therapy podcast, friends!
