Thrive Where You're Planted: A Guided Journal to Help You Get Outside, Touch Grass, and Connect with the Natural Wonders in Your Neighborhood

By Andrea Debbink

Book Overview

Find peace and appreciate the wonder of the natural world with this meditative guided journal for suburban and urban dwellers.

Everyone knows that being in nature can help you feel less anxious, more centered, and at peace. The sound of a waterfall, a swaying green canopy, a distant horizon--all of these things slow your heart rate, open your lungs, and calm your mind. But what if--like most North Americans--you live in a suburb or a city and can't go into the great outdoors every day?

Organized by month, this guided journal encourages you to center yourself in the cycle of the seasons through:
Nature-inspired meditation exercisesOutdoor activities and craftsFlora and fauna trackersWeather chartsUrban foraging tips

Naturalist Andrea Debbink will show you that nature is all around you, even in the densest metropolis and will teach you how to find wildness in a city sparrow, beauty in a roadside dandelion, and stillness on a park bench.

This hardcover journal is perfect for throwing in a backpack and taking to the park, featuring a rounded spine for easy writing, a fabric bookmark to keep your place, and a full-color illustrated design that changes with the seasons.
