Reflections:
What is our / my level of connection?
1. Being in nature
2. Connecting with nature - developing a relationship
3. Gaining knowledge of natural processes and systems
4. Developing understanding- what impact do we have?
5. Taking a personal position
6. Influencing others
Nana used to have a very strong connection with nature and would have been well up on the scale. I have a need to garden but don't feel the need to be 'out in nature' as strongly.
It would be good to do so more though- whether for reasons of physical fitness, weight or stress reduction!
In many ways this actually fits in well with knowing more about Maori culture too. There was a very strong connection to the land and obviously a huge knowledge of what and when to plant, harvest, fish, use for medicines etc.
