Going through loss, I too have found solace in nature. Something so simple and often taken for granted is amazingly soothing and healing ❤️‍🩹

Awesome. Yes. Follow his socials. That's probably going to be the best way to get notified when he's got stuff going on. Thank you!

Being outdoors always places a positive perspective in my mind; I never knew the official term for that until now. So glad Chip found peace in nature. Thanks for sharing Kate and Chip❣️

I guess Chip was fortunate to find comfort and healing through nature. It seems nature is positive for everyone. I’m sure knowing and you being part of the process was a soothing balm also. You’re lucky to have one another.

Best of luck and life together. 👍❤️

I walk almost every day since I retired out in nature. I love taking photos, walking all kinds of weather and seeing what is out there. It has helped me the past 14 years to keep my heart and soul together, with all the "stuff" I have been through in this life.

Thank you, Kate and Chip for showcasing this. There is such resolve in sharing space in nature. With similar appreciation, I will be launching "Pedi-Purpose" in Spring 2024, pairing Coaching and walking. I can't wait!

Kate, we have a woodland treasure here in the southern tier. Pfeiffer Nature Center might be interested in having Chip speak and lead a walk.

Thank you so much for the suggestion, Susan. Neither of us have been there before and would love to check it out.

Pfeiffer has 2 properties. The old growth forest has trails and there is a historic chestnut log cabin . There is a covered pavillion where he could speak. I have not walked the trail in years since my boys moved out but I do know they continue to maintain the trails and hold events including The Woods Walk/Run. My boys back in the day were interpretive guides and did the Salameander. That is another thing about Pfeiffer .. the Salamanders. Hope you both get a chance to visit it.
