Our Little Van - Indigo

 

For the last two years, my husband and I have been travelling around in our little van, Indigo,exploring the vast wilderness of British Columbia. This year I will be sharing some of our creative adventures as we travel. Stay tuned…


FEELING HUMAN AGAIN

We drove along the winding roads far from the madding crowd. 

It’s there we found Valhalla on the outskirts of town. She had the kind of beauty only a mother could gift. 

It was upon her shores; my mind began to shift.” – David Hughes

Unplugged, we begin to slow down and relax. Immersed in the raw wilderness surrounded by the elements, we feel more alive, more receptive to what is around us. Fully present in the moment, we tune into the natural sounds, the whispering wild winds, the raging creek crashing over boulders large enough to jump from one to another, like we did as children; We notice the different smells that fill the clean crisp air, the sweet smell of pine, the perfumed scent of wild roses. We gaze in awe and wonder at the vast expanse of the glacier mountains and all their grandeur and feel invigorated by the refreshing lake water lapping across our bare feet. The wild and raw sounds, the smells, the mesmerizing flames of the crackling campfire dancing before us as the night sky descends; a feast for our senses. Nourishing our whole being; reminding us of who we are. 

Rewilding Our daily Lives

When we unplug from technology, we begin to slow down and relax. My husband and I love to camp and tour BC Parks. Immersed in the raw wilderness surrounded by the elements, we feel more alive, more receptive to what is around us. Fully present in the moment, we tune into the natural sounds, the whispering wild winds, the raging creek crashing over boulders large enough to jump from one to another, like we did as children. We notice the different smells that fill the clean crisp air, the sweet smell of pine, the perfumed scent of wild roses. We gaze in awe and wonder at the vast expanse of the glacier mountains and all their grandeur and feel invigorated by the refreshing lake water lapping across our bare feet. The wild and raw sounds, the smells, the mesmerizing flames of the crackling campfire dancing before us as the night sky descends; a feast for our senses. Nourishing our whole being; reminding us of who we are. In this video below we share a few of our favourite BC Parks…
