“When you put your foot into a muddy puddle and you just feel it all, but you’re reacting to that environment, you’re part of that environment in that moment, and for me that’s super powerful, you know, we have various sensory organs in the body and we should use them all, if we use them all when we’re in nature we’re really going to get a profound experience from it, particularly as you go deeper and deeper away from cities and civilization, those experiences become more profound.” – Nicholas Charlier
