Sit spots are places where we can go to slow down and connect to the natural world around us. These locations can be anywhere a bit of nature is present: A park bench, rocks along a local creek, the branch of a favorite tree, a balcony, or a backyard.

As simple as it sounds, sitting in nature is one of the most memorable and potentially life-changing experiences. This activity provides you with an opportunity to observe your surroundings while also noticing what it is like for you to be there. Just find your own place in an outdoor area, and pay attention to whatever inspires you, record your experience if you wish, and/or share it afterward with a friend or family member.
