Inspiration for families to connect with nature using stories and the wisdom of our ancestors. ' Adventures in Nature' offers plenty of different ways for families to connect with the earth through a mixture of original stories and traditional tales. As our ancestors did before us, the book follows the seasons contained in the Wheel of the Year with each entry focusing on a story that connects us to natural world, accompanied by simple craft projects, activities and mindful moments. In our busy modern lives we have become increasingly disconnected with the world around us. Story is an age-old way of re-establishing that link, nurturing a love for the environment and embedding awareness and respect for the planet within our culture. This book allows you to discover your very own adventures in nature through story.
