Dealing with the logistics of a day or several days of steady rain can be challenging for Forest Educators, with keeping everyone warm, dry, happy and engaged. In this episode, we go deeper, to the 'human development' side of Forest Ed, where we model ways of experiencing the natural world that go against the norm of our cultural messaging. Viewed and experienced through these lenses, rainy weather, or cold or heat or snow, all offer portals to understanding how our bodies will follow our attentive focus. These are also opportunities to connect with our friends and mentors more fully, sharing stories and entering a space of creativity that is shaped by the seasons and the weather of the day. Learning to shift our mood and attitude from discomfort to joy is a life skill not found often in youth programs, and these lessons are offered by thunderstorm, or cold fronts or heat domes, which are real and powerful forces of nature. Please enjoy episode 32.
