  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature
    People are motivated to forage for many different reasons: as a source for food, a means of income, to connect with nature, to participate in cultural tradition, transmitting specific ecological knowledge, or as a means of stewarding local and native plant populations are just a few examples. What is your chief motivation for foraging?

    Practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation is helpful to better our environment by reliving stress and by doing so makes the environment and the people around you less stressed.
