I wanted to share some sweet scenes from this past weekend’s Queer Somatic Nature Walk + Embodied Journaling workshop by the creek and rhododendrons at the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain.

This was the first one of 2025, inspired on a whim by looking at the forecast and seeing it’d be 65 degrees that Sunday.

It felt so special to get together with this sweet crew and be present with this beautiful land and water, our senses, ourselves, and one another on a beautiful, warm (almost) spring day.

I always feel so nourished by hearing about what people are noticing when they get a chance to slow down and enjoy connecting with nature through their senses, and I love hearing the reflections that come through journaling as folks connect with their inner wisdom + the land around them.

A reminder that our bodies hold so much wisdom! We are rich in so many ways when we cultivate space to connect ourselves + the beings around us, and especially when we then share that with one another.

Truly cannot think of another way I’d rather spend my afternoon - I’ve been basing in giddy gratitude about how much I love the work I do!
