Grounded in Nature

Those of us who work at Odayin year-round are life-long learners and have formed a team ‘book club’. We recently zeroed in on our passion for the healing power of nature and read the 2021 book ‘Grounded’ by Ruth Allen. In it, Allen beautifully reinforced our firm belief that connecting with nature improve lives and well-being.

Volunteer camp counselor and former camper, Cassie Branden, shares our love of the natural world and artfully captures it through her Whole Heart Photography. We’re grateful to Cassie for sharing her pictures for the gallery below. We hope that these quotes and curated images create space for you to be present, have wonder, and focus for a few moments on gratitude for the natural world.
