Immerse ourselves in nature to begin to heal

Indigenous culture is known to be based on an understanding that all things on the planet are interrelated. And that is a mindset a Halifax psychiatrist is hoping more of us adopt for ourselves and the planet. Dr. Marie-Therese O’Neill recently wrote a piece for the Chronicle Herald/Saltwire. In it she notes "Indigenous Peoples in Canada and elsewhere always knew that our happiness cannot be separated from how we treat all sentient beings and our planet. We are all interrelated and in harming them, we harm ourselves." And with so many people spending so much time inside, in front of screens, we could all benefit from being more connected to nature.
