What if the landscape you’ve been craving isn’t a vacation, what if it’s a teacher?

Maybe you already have a place.

A trail you return to when you need perspective. A stretch of coastline where your whole body seems to exhale. A forest where you feel held. A desert where your mind quiets down. A wide-open horizon that gives your thoughts somewhere to go.

Humans have been learning from landscapes for generations, through stories, traditions, observation, relationship, and everyday life. Today, a growing body of research is also helping us understand some of the ways time in nature can support physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Different Landscapes, Different Medicines begins with a simple idea: different places offer different experiences.

Over six weeks, we’ll get curious about those differences. We’ll explore how landscapes function, what happens within us when we spend time there, and what their ecology can teach us about resilience, perspective, creativity, belonging, movement, rest, and wonder.

Along the way, we’ll use the Reciprocity Rx framework to practice receiving what these places offer, reflecting on what we’re learning, returning care to the places that care for us, and reconnecting often enough for relationship to grow.

You may arrive knowing you love a place. Our hope is that you leave understanding your relationship with it a little differently.
