It has been six months since we began our 'Nature & Me' program @gubbachi.org.in. Our sessions have been about nature, wildlife, ecology and our relationship with our surroundings. We began in the classroom, then out in the school courtyard, eventually explorations around their neighborhood, birding at a neighbouring lake and yesterday we finally arrived at Cubbon Park!

We tried all sorts of things to really immerse ourselves in the place- aimless wanderings, inspecting microgreens, animal flow, nature detectives, forest floor scavenging, meditation, journaling and play.

What a day! 💚

Thank you so much @alokagloriadsouza and @nidhi_pal16 for taking the time to facilitate this program with us.

@alokagloriadsouza thank you for bringing your knowledge of birds and bringing life to the session with your animal flow!

Thank you @a_naturalists_column for sharing your magical tree meditation with the world. We were able to get it translated into Hindi.

With @nidhi_pal16 leading the meditation with your calm and soothing voice, children said that for a moment they had forgotten where they were, their minds had taken them to the trees they had special moments with.

Thank you @ginchumariam and Shalini for making this field trip possible! And for these amazing images🦋
