Even our relationship with nature needs work to st Even our relationship with nature needs work to stay fresh and alive! ✨ Here are some tips to fall in love with nature again in 2022, suggested by our friends at A Rocha UK. . . . #Repost @arocha_uk ... Nature is the perfect antidote to beating the 'Blue Monday' Blues 💚 Here are some ideas for enjoying God's amazing creation: 🌱 Get to your nearest green space to connect with God or meet with a friend 🌱 Bring nature into your home or garden 🌱 Go for a walk and note all the signs of the season. Reflect on the changing season and what we can be thankful for 🌱 Spot seasonal wildlife 🌱 Write about or draw something that inspires you in nature 🌱 Birdwatch 🌱 Try out a new delicious meat-free recipe 🌱 Grow your own inside your home, in the garden, or even at church 💦 Plan something completely wild in nature for later this year How do you enjoy and connect with creation? 🥰
🎤 What do you get when you put together a bunch 🎤 What do you get when you put together a bunch of nature geeks, theologians, administrators, scientists, farmers, educators, and hospitality and operations staff? Well, that's just everyday life for A Rocha. But on our Team Gathering next week, we'll be particularly in each other's faces—literally, over Zoom! Please keep us in prayer during our week-long time of learning, celebration, encouragement, and connecting with fellow staff across Canada. While we ache to gather in person, it's always a gift to grow together and be in fellowship, even virtually. Please note that while we do this, our offices will have reduced capacity, so kindly check in before you plan a visit. (📸 from our last in-person Team Gathering in January 2020.

Downstream from our BC centre, the Semiahmoo First Downstream from our BC centre, the Semiahmoo First Nation has lived at the mouth of the TATALU (or Little Campbell) River for thousands of years. Due to pollution of the TATALU and Boundary Bay, the Nation has had to discontinue their generations-long practice of shellfish harvesting. We are so grateful to be working with the Semiahmoo First Nation​ and other partners in the Shared Waters Alliance to restore Boundary Bay. One of the initiative's main goals is to also restore safe shellfish harvesting for the Semiahmoo... hopefully within our lifetimes. 🦪 Please watch our video (link in bio) to learn more. . . . 🎥 @hannaahmaerose #SharedWatersAlliance #SemiahmooFirstNation #ARocha #ARochaCanada #CreationCare #Conservation #HabitatRestoration #GodsCreation #EnvironmentalStewardship #Stewardship #Christian #Earth #Education #OutdoorEducation

Sometimes, what was supposed to be a 30 minute walk turns into over an hour adventure, building a fort or hanging out in the trees like this one. (Of course, climbing trees is under strict supervision!) What do you do to keep yourself moving and get outside in this winter weather? ❄️🥾 . . . #outdooreducation #environmentaleducation #outdoorlearning #arocha #arochacanada #arochaontario #cedarhaven
