I will not tolerate council or COS celebrating a revenue increase in their 2026 budget while omitting that it doesn’t cover fixed costs, new capital, or increased user fees.

For 15 months, we've been hosting a monthly "sit spot" in Vancouver parks. Join us for the final session of the year on Dec. 13th at 10 am for 30 mins of relaxation, then tea, reflections, and I'll drop some health science. Feel calm and refreshed before holiday craziness. Join: sitspot.club

During July’s Sit Spot i noticed the dappled light. Birds playing among the tree branches. Falling leaves floating slowly as gravity pulled them to the forest floor. Tree tops gently swaying. The feel of air between my fingers. Shifting light as clouds filtered the sun’s rays. 🌲💚

June Sit Spot was met with a chorus of birds and ended with Douglas fir and Rosehip tea.
I’ll be hosting the next one on Sat., July 12th in Pacific Spirit Park. It’s free, it’s relaxing and it’s a nice way to connect with others that need a break. 🌲💚

I was nervous about chaperoning 130 high school kids at camp. They were awesome. The camp was awesome. Steve the Seal was awesome.
Fun fact: when forest bathing was first proposed in the early 80s, it aimed to help city kids connect with nature and escape the urban desert. 🌲💚

I’m looking forward to celebrating the Summer Solstice by guiding at VanDusen Gardens. This session is oversold, but the next one in July still has a few spots available. vandusengarden.org/explore/cour... #Vancouver #nature #forestbathing

If you’re feeling stressed about [insert list] and need an escape, this retreat in beautiful BC, Canada is designed to help you feel better. Ken trained me in forest therapy, and I guarantee you’ll feel completely relaxed afterwards. Also, there are miniature goats. www.natureconnected.ca/bcretreat

This black bear found a good foraging spot. It was the first time @seanbonner.com has seen a bear in the wild. So cute. #coexist

To celebrate #GlobalBigDay, we will sit quietly in nature to listen to birds. Last year, I identified over 20 birds with eBird in the same spot, so I’m excited to see which birds greet us this time.

Akebono (daybreak cherry) is a medium-sized tree that grows to 25 feet tall and features an umbrella-shaped crown. It is the most commonly planted early spring-flowering cherry in Vancouver, known for its rainproof flowers and resistance to disease. Perfect for sitspot.club 🌸

Thank you to everyone who filled out a Silent Trails survey. Studying nature + human health is much easier when humans provide data. ;)

Shooting keystone species from helicopters at the edge of National Parks (which they don’t understand is a border) is just dirty and cruel. Please sign: act.biologicaldiversity.org/KMKIBFUCsEW9...
