We already know the benefits of nature walks, for example to overcome mental blocks or to practice mindfulness.

We also know that painting landscapes is just as relaxing as it is inspiring and enriching.

But do you also know the term “Nature Writing”?

The conscious nature writing process in “Romanticism” around 1800 in England is today experiencing a new hype in self-discovery, self improvement and mindfulness.

The trend of the New Nature Writing implies a daily habit to write down “what you see”: as accurate and unfiltered as possible. A mindful description of the environment of the nature, wilderness, animals, plants and everything that is in it.

It can easily be connected with your daily Journaling habit, where you already write down and reflect your daily actions, memories, goals and experiences.
