Thanks for connecting to nature with me on another episode of The Forest Connection!

What if the most powerful way to connect with nature wasn’t hiking farther… but simply sitting still?

In this episode, I explore the practice of the sit spot—a simple but transformative way to deepen your awareness, sharpen your observation skills, and build a real relationship with the natural world.

I break down what a sit spot actually is, where the idea comes from, and why this practice has been used by naturalists, trackers, and nature educators for generations.

I also walk you through how to choose your own sit spot, what to do once you’re there (hint: less than you think), and how returning to the same place over time can completely change what you notice—and how you feel.

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about noticing more.

By the end of the episode, you’ll have everything you need to start your own sit spot practice—and I’ll challenge you to try it for yourself this week.

Because when you sit long enough…

…the wild doesn’t just surround you.
It starts to recognize you.
