Open Spaces (Digital Download)

$39.00

The Open Spaces Guided Journal is a 77-page landscape-inspired companion designed to help you spend time in relationship with wide-open landscapes and notice what becomes visible when your attention has room to travel.

Inspired by meadows, grasslands, prairies, valleys, wetlands, agricultural plains, rolling hills, and expansive skies, this guided experience combines reflection prompts, evidence-informed practices, Reciprocity Rx™ exercises, sensory experiences, stewardship practices, and full-color landscape photography. It invites you to pay attention to distance, movement, weather, wildlife, and the relationships unfolding across landscapes that may appear empty at first glance.

Open spaces create distinct conditions for attention. Long sightlines allow us to see weather moving across the horizon, wildlife traveling through habitat, grasses responding to wind, and life unfolding across enormous distances. Through the Reciprocity Rx™ framework of Receive, Reflect, Return, and Reconnect, you’ll explore spaciousness, creativity, possibility, visibility, perspective, belonging, and your own relationship with having room.

Use the journal while watching a sunrise over a valley, driving through open country, walking through grasslands or meadows, sitting in a neighborhood park, stopping at a roadside overlook, or simply finding somewhere you can see a little farther than usual. You don’t need to arrive looking for a particular outcome. Bring your curiosity, pay attention to what you experience, and let the relationship unfold from there.

At the heart of the Open Spaces Guided Journal is an invitation to notice what happens when your attention has room to travel. A landscape that appears empty from a distance may be full of movement, migration, weather, history, habitat, and relationships already in progress.

Spend enough time paying attention and you may begin to notice how much is happening across the space between things, including what becomes visible within you when you give yourself room to notice.

What becomes possible when you make room for what you haven’t noticed yet?
