" Creativity can be defined as an original act of imagination that brings something into existence. It is a desire and innate drive to make new connections between things, to give form, and to transform". 

(Shaun McNiff)

“Being in nature enables us to communicate with ourselves and with the larger world in deeper ways, to connect to; and widen the circles of our ecological identity, and to extend the boundaries of our self-interest so as to enhance our joy and sense of meaning in life” (Buzzell & Chalquist).
