Nature can bring profound realizations, if you just give it time to speak to you. 💚🌱

Volunteers, nature therapy, creative space, and a whole lot of heart.

This is what care looked like at Clement Waters this Earth Month. 💚🌱

Well, that was a different nature therapy session! Different, but good.

There was rain in the forecast set to blow in right at the end of our session today. I normally cancel, but there were so many signed up, and we’d have access to the indoors if needed. So we began as scheduled.

Fortunately the rain waited until about halfway through to start hinting in little drips and drops that it might be time to start gathering together again, but not quite yet. The few raindrops that made it through the tapping tree canopy relieved our skin from the weight of the muggy motionless air.

The guide’s echoing callback was made just as the first rumble of thunder visited us.

During the last circle share under the shelter, one participant expressed that it had seemed appropriate in the middle of the personal meandering exploration time to cry. Now, tears are shed at nature therapy sessions from time to time. This session was just unique in that the forest’s raindrop visitors seemed to welcome teary release.

We listen and allow the very large and very small beings around us to bear witness. 💚🌱

It’s the final sunrise vigil reflection! Community is relationship, trust, and care we can rely on when life is hard. We are all related to one another and to the Earth. We must have patience, restraint, and trust in communities to lead their own paths. 💚🌱

Of course the last one had to be near-on a sermon! 😌

This morning brought the final reflection of this 13-day sunrise vigil honoring community-raised, community-serving changemakers.

Thoughts have come to me as I walk the forest paths at sunrise that “community” truly is a familiar social fabric shaped by shared norms, trust, responsibility, and care that can be relied upon when life becomes difficult.

Across these 13 days, I’ve lifted up efforts rooted in health, land stewardship, and cultural continuity.

The core truth tying every effort together is simple and enduring: we are all related to one another, and humanity is related to all other life on this planet. Relationship sits at the center of our existence.

The Earth itself is responding to conditions shaped over long spans of time. Change is visibly underway. In moments like this, voices long held quiet within families are being spoken aloud, carrying truths about land, ancestry, survival, and shared responsibility. These truths are arriving because this moment requires them.

When we feel we should do something about it, we need to remember: Support takes many forms. It includes sharing resources, being patient, remembering appropriate restraint, and trusting communities to guide their own paths, in their own time.

At Clement Waters, we walk alongside efforts grounded in these principles. We support after consent, with care, and with responsibility for our part in the relationships involved.

Thank you to everyone who walked these 13 days with me. 💚🌱

We support situations where people feel encouraged to be who they are and let their internal strengths and interests be seen. We are part of nature, and we have a driving nature as a result that must be heard in our lifetimes. People who are true to themselves gain greater wellbeing. 💚🌱

Bold ideas don’t fail because they lack vision — they fail because people lack time, infrastructure, and support to develop them. We habilitate bold ideas with the structure, time, and support required to reclaim social power.
