The Desert’s Gift:
Presence and Serenity
We often hear about the restorative power of trees and forests. The way a lush canopy can surround us in green feels nurturing and protective. The desert offers a different kind of medicine.
Here, the wide open landscape absorbs what you’re ready to release.
With so little to distract the eye, the desert holds space for your thoughts and feelings, gently taking in whatever no longer serves you. In its simplicity, it offers you room to breathe.
When you let go, something shifts. Energy that was held back becomes free again. The mind settles. The body softens. You may find yourself more present, calm, and at peace.
Sometimes you might even feel light enough to move, to sway, to dance under the desert sky.
This is what I’ve experienced again and again in Borrego Springs, and I welcome you to try it too. Welcome to the desert, where you can give your mind and body a break from the noise of daily life. Let the land help you reconnect with
your Self.
