In this world of ours, there are so many voices demanding our attention. Our opinions. Our answers. Our action. We need space where our nervous systems can rest from all the noise. Space where we can drop the weight of this world’s expectations and just breathe.
We need healing gardens.
Healing gardens are exactly what they sound like – gardens that are specially designed with healing in mind. From private backyards to hospital grounds, these gardens beckon us off the beaten path and offer a space where we can rest unseen. They are spaces where the contradictions of life can breathe the same air for a moment. Spaces where the life of the spirit can stretch and grow.
They are spaces that allow healing to come. And sometimes, this kind of space is more than physical.
Below you will find a collection of writings on the various ways healing can come into a life, from gardens to tea to story-telling, and more.
Welcome to my healing garden.
Never underestimate the healing power
of a quiet moment in the garden.-Josephine Albert
