inrin-yoku in Japan, is more than just taking a leisurely stroll in the woods. It's about intentionally slowing down, tuning in to the sights, sounds, and smells of the natural world, and allowing its calming effects to heal us. At Wild Dirt, we believe in the power of nature to heal. By using the Nature Triangle framework, we can approach nature as a nourishing force for our well-being, simple, profound, and essential.

We all know the importance of a balanced diet, but what if the same principle applied to our relationship with nature? The Nature Triangle offers a new way to think about our exposure to the natural world.
