RECONNECT WITH NATURE
We are Nature
"We are not in nature. We are nature. When we are truly aware of this, we can create harmony rather than destruction."
— Thich Nhat Hanh
TreeSisters is more than just an organisation—it’s a vibrant, grassroots movement driven by those who believe in a deeper, more harmonious way of living with the Earth. We are Nature, and when we remember this, we can see the deep harm we are causing and step into a world of reciprocity, awe, and profound connection.
​
Nature connectedness isn’t just a concept; it’s a powerful, science-backed truth that reflects our relationship with the living world. Those who cultivate this connection experience better mental and physical wellbeing and are naturally inclined to protect and nurture the environment. This is not only essential for our personal health but also crucial for global efforts against overconsumption and climate change.
​
But how do we begin this journey back to Nature? It starts with simple, intentional steps—ways to weave Nature into the fabric of our daily lives. Below, you'll find easy practices to help you deepen your connection with the Earth.
Notice nature wherever you are. Nature is everywhere. In our modern tech-heavy world and concrete urban landscapes, it is easy to feel disconnected from it. But appreciating that nature is not a destination but all around us is the first step. It doesn’t matter if you have access to a local woodland or live in a city; noticing and spending time in nature is proven to positively impact your wellbeing and mood and decrease your stress levels.
NOTICE
NATURE ADVOCACY.
Alongside the importance of a human rights-based approach to conservation and restoration, TreeSisters believes that nature has inherent rights—just as people do. These rights include the right to exist, thrive, and regenerate. We frame our nature-led approach not just as following nature’s wisdom, but as actively advocating for her legal rights.
Our advocacy for the Earth’s legal rights aligns with the growing global recognition that nature must be granted legal personhood to protect and preserve its ecosystems for future generations. Our work honours these rights by restoring balance and ensuring that nature’s voice is heard.
​
Nature advocacy can come in many forms, and you don’t need to have passed the bar to start advocating for nature today.
For many Indigenous cultures, nature advocacy and considering all life as sacred and connected is an intrinsic part of life. TreeSisters celebrate (but do not speak for) Indigenous cultures as the original caretakers of the planet, advocating for their leadership in environmental restoration. By highlighting and platforming these voices, the wisdom of Indigenous practices and the importance of protecting Indigenous lands and rights, we commit to a world where the rights of people and the rights of nature are upheld and respected.

LEARNING FROM OTHERS.
TreeSisters has a long history of alliances and partnerships with Indigenous and Original people - many of whom have successfully lived in harmony with their lands for millennia.
In a series of interviews, we invited guests to share their viewpoints, challenges and nature-led ancestral knowledge to highlight alternative ways of living with our world, share learnings, and provide space to support and get involved.
