Bringing nature indoors



Ways of bringing nature in my home:




Opening windows!




Open the windows get fresh air in let the sun in and sing and dance!
















Dancing:
it creates movement as opposed to the stillness of the walls and the furniture!






Cooking ( and eating the food):
Lucky are the people with a garden and a vegetable patch...bringing the food from outside in and cooking it is an act of reverence, always remember to thank Mother Earth for the food.





Nature table, with seasonal themes, the simplest way, really, is to have a cloth a shelf and a vase for flowers or branches, and plants of course! I buy flowers and sometimes pinch a few branches of bushes and trees on the road ( not from private gardens!)


Painting!
What we see around us each day, each season... drawing it and painting it is a lovely relaxing activity and it connects with nature, 'remembering' and bringing our memories and impressions of outside - nature, indoors.
