NATURE COLLAGE

Map your internal emotional or mental landscape using natural imagery

Ask yourself what emotions, memories, or thoughts of your inner world you want to explore.

Step outside and collect small natural items (leaves, twigs, stones, petals) or take photos of items in nature that catch your eye.

Create a collage on paper or digitally with collected items/photos.

🔍What do the items conjure up for you at the time of collection and later?

🔍What creative memories and emotions do photos elicit?

FIND HEARTS OR PATTERNS IN NATURE

I find hearts in the ordinary world all the time. Sacred ordinary. Treasure hunts like this have become a usual practice. It reminds me that the world is full of wonder.
