I’m foraging for poems as I’ve recently received my Sylvotherapy Practitioner certification. This will be a lovely companion to share with those joining me for forest therapy sessions. Many many thanks for your words❤️

Thank you so much for this beautiful message. I'm truly touched that my poem will walk with you in the forest. Wishing you and those who walk with you many magical, healing sessions under the trees.

My favorite one yet! An outlet you may want to consider (I have no role of interest) is the Center for Humans and Nature: https://humansandnature.org/submission-guidelines/

One of my favorites of yours after one of my favorites of James. I love "in the key of" as an alternative to "after"!

Sam Aureli's avatar

I can't take full credit for the "in the key of", but when I first saw it I thought it was perfect for after poems. And thank you! : )
