What is your relationship with nature? Is it skin deep or is it written on your body and soul? In AST we celebrate all connections and connections with trees. One such connection inspired one of our groups most popular posts inspiring hundreds of comments and others to share their own connection too. Read on to find out more…
We have a lovely and thriving communiTree here at #AncientandSacredTrees. It is one where members feel connected to each other and share many aspects of their connections with trees from the universal to the personal.
How would you celebrate your union with a loved one? How do you celebrate your connection with #trees?
