What is Living Nature?<\/h1>
<\/span><\/div>

Awakening the Ecological Self<\/h2>
<\/span><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
Living in nature is not the same as visiting it. It is about letting it in. We work from the outside in: we bring nature into our very core so that we can recognise and let go of what separates us from it, and from there, live out our inner nature. That is the Living Nature approach.<\/h5>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
