We all know spending time outdoors feels good — but did you know how often you get outside matters just as much as where you go? That’s the idea behind the Nature Connection Pyramid. It’s a simple framework that shows us how to build a healthy relationship with the natural world: - Daily: Step outside nearby — a walk through your neighborhood, sitting under a tree, tending a garden. - Weekly: Go a little deeper — local parks, rivers, or trails that reset your week. - Monthly: Stretch yourself — regional adventures like camping, kayaking, or a day in the forest. - Annually / Bi-Annually: Big wilderness trips that reconnect you to something larger than yourself. Just like healthy eating or exercise, stacking these layers creates balance and resilience. Daily moments of nature keep us grounded, while those big adventures recharge us on a deeper level. 👉 Over the next few weeks, we’ll dive into each layer of the pyramid together — with challenges, reflections, and ways to bring more wildness into your life. For now, I’d love to hear from you: What’s one way you connect with nature daily?

It’s wild how much of a difference just 20–30 minutes of walking outside can make. Clearer head, better mood, less stress — and somehow it even makes the work part of life easier after. I’ve noticed when I walk daily, I come back more focused and able to handle things better. It’s like a reset button. Did you know? Harvard Medical School found that just 20–30 minutes of daily walking can reduce anxiety, improve memory, and boost creativity. Mayo Clinic also highlights it as one of the best natural stress relievers. 👉 Do you notice a shift when you get outside, even just for a short walk?

Nothing crazy, just out walking through town right now. Its all about getting outside for a bit and moving your feet. Before getting back to work. Kind of nice to slow down, even here. What’s your everyday walk look like?

You’ve taken your first steps as a Wanderer. The real journey happens here — in the stories we share and the ways we show up for each other. 👉 What’s one thing you’re carrying forward as you step into the community?

Big adventures start small. This week, try one of these: • Watch a sunrise • Take a new path home • Sit quietly in a park 👉 Which one will you do?
