Self Reflection is an important practice. Our first resource is a list of creative and fun questions you can explore at your own pace or discuss over coffee with a friend.

For Your ReplenishmentThis is a reflection exercise that uses an outdoor landscape, music, several questions, your senses, and your imagination to offer you some replenishment. The recorded exercise is just under 40 minutes long but we recommend you make a little more room in your day for it so you can linger where you need to.
Please read the preliminary instructions in preparation for this time of reflection.

After the Experience ~ Ways to Take it With You
- Take a picture and keep the image in a visible place for a period of time (screen saver, desk, etc.) Let the visible reminder reconnect you to the experience, even if just for a minute or two.
- Choose something tangible from the landscape to carry home (for your pocket, dashboard, or nightstand)
- Perhaps the exercised evoked a new question. Find a way to carry that question with you for the next few days. It may not have an answer right away. Stay curious about it.
- Write a haiku about it. (It helps gather the essence of what you “saw” and experienced.)
