A walk in Nature walks the soul back home
A Personal Invitation
Jesus says to you: Are you tired? Worn out?
Burned out on religion?
Come to me.
Get away with me and you will recover your life!
I will show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with me and
work with me
Watch me how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly! (Matthew 11:28,29 MSG)

You will be surprised how many times, we are surrounded by networks of small trails, even connecting other neighborhoods. If you happen to live close by some body of water:lake, ocean, river, pond, water is always a super charge ingredient in the D2R process!
Our main Goal will be to start a 1hr D2R every day and keep doing it as part of our life routine!
The Benefits are endless! A renewed mind, more creativity, more peace of mind, solitude.
A stronger and fitter physical body
A refreshed Spirit ! as we spend more time alone with God everything goes back into the right perspective, and He quenches our thirsty souls to overflow!!
First Steps/ Logistics
Once you have decided to start D2R you have to plan accordingly. Always keep in mind the D2R Must Have essentials when going for a hike! Depending on your schedules and life style, choose ONE HOUR (1hr) during the day to go outside, in nature. It may be first thing in the morning before you start your activities , or at lunch time in the middle of your day or evening after work. at the end of your day!
It will be an hour to Disconnect from your phone, and all electronics. An hour to slow down, take a deep breath, and be present in the moment.
Remember to keep:
D2R journal,
A D2R log book to keep track of your miles, routes you used, how long did it take you, places you discovered, things about the terrain, nature type. etc and last but not least a POMS (Profile of Mood State) Questionnaire Thats also an excellent way to measure the effects of D2R on the spot. You fill one before and after D2R, and compare it. You will be amazed at the difference it can make just one hour outside with no electronics.
