Preparation ahead of the adventure
This weekend promises the possibility to experience something new in your life and doing something in nature to facilitate this. One of the ways in which you prepare for this is to set your own unique intention for your trip. We tend to spend a lot of time “in our heads” these days and the power of intention is something that we have lost touch with. This is an invitation to spend some time considering what you would like to get out of the upcoming weekend.
