In today's fast-paced world, it can be easy to lose sight of what truly matters and how spirituality can play an important role in people's days by providing a sense of connection and purpose. Grounded and meditative work can aid in strengthening this connection.

In recent years, Gen Z and Millenials have embraced astrology. They hire tarot card readers, subscribe to daily horoscope emails, and put their zodiac signs on their dating profiles. Something about it resonates with them. Astrology is considered a pseudoscience, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t help you in your life.

At The Spirituality Project, we’re collecting people’s stories of Divine connection. These stories about nature are from our growing trove.

The fact that we’re even writing an article about the benefits of getting into “nature” shows that there’s a huge problem in how we’re living: we’re seeing nature as separate from ourselves. In reality, humans are part of the interconnected web of nature that makes up our world.

There’s something different about nature, something spiritual that makes you more aware of the world around you and your connection to God.

The “Come Journal with Me: Beach” activity gives you an opportunity to connect with your higher power through a written meditation.

There is greater peace, greater direction, and the best kind of connection found outside.

Spending time in God’s beautiful creations enlarges your perspective.
