Spending time in nature has been proven to have myriad health benefits, as evidenced by the "forest bathing" trend that has urbanites making concerted efforts to wander in forests in an effort to improve well-being. This beautiful, full-color journal gives would-be naturalists a way to explore their natural world and contemplate their places in it. Easier than reading Thoreau and more fun than a field guide, Wild Calm is the ideal companion to anyone searching for a stronger connection to nature.
Joan Vorderbruggen discovered forest bathing through her work as an architect and teacher researching the healing potential of human/nature connections. Having personally experienced transformative benefits from nature, she trained through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy and became a certified forest therapy guide. Joan lives among the lakes, hills, forests, and prairies of West Central Minnesota, and gets outdoors daily no matter the weather.
