Start Here: The Main Trail

Most families aren’t looking for more to do. They’re looking for a way to feel more present inside the lives they already have.

The thing is, many of us think of presence as a skill. Something to practice. Something to work at. But presence isn’t a skill. It’s a response.

And like most responses, it depends on the conditions around us. Time outdoors changes those conditions. Presence becomes easier. If presence feels hard — a little out of reach — the outdoors may be the piece you’ve been missing.
