Once Upon a Forest

Maria was a romantic, animal-loving, dreamy child who, growing up, had a hard time conforming to the demands associated with the trajectory towards "a normal life". As a young adult she became depressed, and was encouraged by her therapist to go for walks in the forest. The myriad of funny-looking twigs and sticks she found along the way immediately put her on a path to recovery. When a climate related crisis strikes the forest where she lives and works, she's forced into a new type of creativity in order to save the place that once upon a time saved her.

A place in nature once opened you and held you when you needed sanctuary. Return the gift in an act of kindness to the natural world.

Exciting testimony of life... I share some experiences of this type - I think many - and without a doubt it leads us to a closer harmonious relationship with nature and with ourselves, with creation!

The inspiring message and the beauty and mood of Maria's forest was captured. I feel like I could be Maria's sister with my odd worries at a very young age about nature and how humans so greatly impacted it and what could I do about it!

Maria, her connection to nature and the forest - her art - her gentle kind spirit and what she has done.
