About Nourishing Nature
Hi World Family,
So happy to welcome you all here. Nourishing Nature is a space to enjoy inspirations for the mind-body and soul. Here you can discover and enjoy more of what brings you lasting joy, peace, and happiness through free and affordable resources. This space also invites us to step into the beauty and upliftment of Nature — nature that nourishes us and strengthens our inner harmony and creates experiences for laughter, play, gratitude, peace, beauty, ease, calmness, vitality, and more!
It's so wonderful to experience these qualities that bring us into a state of harmony and communion with our true nature and to feel closer to that which created us – whatever image or feeling is most dear to your heart, may you draw closer to this version of the Divine and feel comforted by the Presence of what creates us, sustains us, and wants us to thrive fully – like the hero in each story – to conquer those inner and outer battles and to know who we truly are as we are made in the image of the Greatness that created this Universe.
Whichever chapter you find yourself in, in this adventure of life, know that you are welcome here. Thank you for joining me here to inspire one another and to live more closely to our Nourishing Nature.
About Natalie Rose
I grew up in the beautiful nature-rich sunshine state of Florida. Growing up in Florida provided lots of time outside and in the nourishing waters of natural springs, oceans, lakes, and pools. I enjoyed playing with my brother and sister and friends and I also really enjoyed playing solo with a whimsical and creative imagination. I spent much of my childhood exploring and dreaming – you would find me for hours making up stories, singing, playing sports, and biking around the neighborhood.
I'd like to share a few more significant moments that have shaped my life and the beautiful creative offerings I am grateful fro share with you all here in this space:
*I grew up with a love of singing -- my mom played the piano and I often would sing with her at home, at church, in the car, and anytime I felt inspired. The feeling of singing and the accompaniment of uplifting musical melodies brings me so much joy!
*Throughout my life, I have enjoyed inspiration through stories, uplifting words, time in nature and connecting meaningfully with one another. I started created children's stories and enjoyed seeing how the stories can touch all generations.
*I have enjoyed going to different churches, mosques, temples, yoga classes, meditation retreats, as well as beautiful nature nooks, where I experience love, devotion, peace and inspiration. These environments help me feel closer to my soul qualities and express this part of my nature more often. One of my favorite parts of church growing up was singing and greeting one another with these heartfelt words "Peace be with you." And ending the mass with the words "Go in peace to love and serve the world." How inspiring! Especially if I can choose love and peace more often in each moment, which leads me to some tools that have supported me to do so:
*As I began my University studies, I found myself drawn to yoga and was delighted to feel a profound and much needed peace for my body and mind. I joined yoga classes frequently and felt completely transformed from any unwanted stress/anxiety to a sweet, calm centering peace. Flashforward a moment...these classes were a seed for later developing a meditation practice, which began as 5 mins of sitting still and now is the foundation of my daily life -- to feel a joyous inner peace each day-- where time stands still and minutes flow by, while the mind, body, heart and soul feel calmer, happier, grateful and yearning for more!
*The Joy continues, as I discovered the transformative power of creativity for well being. I studied, volunteered, and worked with Arts in Medicine at the University of Florida. I studied abroad in Spain and Morocco and experienced the power of movement, music, expressive journaling, story telling, and soul singing across cultures. The creative arts awakened within me more keys to self discovery and joy.
*This thread of creativity and well being has woven itself through much of my life where I’ve been able to wear many hats and work with people of all ages and many cultures, seeing firsthand how creative expression is universal, transformational, enjoyable, and connects with a deeper part of ourself.
*As a lover of all that connects me more deeply to my soul nature: meditation, prayer, creative expression…I am so happy to share with you what brings me daily peace and joy: creative keys that support my well being and I hope yours as well.
I am delighted to share the latest creations with you in inspirational posts, online community gatherings, as well as in the online shop with affordable ways to enjoy the creative process and discover more about your incredible self and love your life even more!
I am grateful for all the ways we can support each other here and beyond.
Much Love,
Natalie Rose
