Plant Pause: 5- minutes of sanity a day
Because you definitely do not need another mindfulness app notification telling you you're stressed.
Give your overwhelmed nervous system exactly what it needs: something living to land on. A 7-day science-backed outdoor reset that requires zero premium subscriptions, zero deep-breathing tutorials, and absolutely no ability to keep a houseplant alive.
The world is heavy right now, and your nervous system knows it. You've tried the walks, the apps, the breathing exercises, but the mental spin continues. Plant Pause uses simple plant observation to trigger involuntary calm through a process called "soft fascination." No prior experience needed. Just you, outside, noticing.
“The plant identification exercises felt like a helpful anchor for my attention. They helped me focus more on my surroundings and made me feel calm and interested in spending more time outside…”

After more than a decade of teaching plant identification, I've seen this transformation happen again and again. Students who enrolled for the knowledge left with something they didn't know they needed — a sense of belonging to the living world. Worries quieter. More uplifted. More themselves outdoors. Whole in a way they hadn't expected.
Plant Pause is my attempt to make that available to everyone.
What you'll learn:
Daily prompts that interrupt the anxiety loop — short guided practices that stop directed attention fatigue in its tracks.
Simple plant ID that quietly lowers stress markers in your body — the science of micro-awe, made accessible.
Sense of place — a deeper connection to the living world exactly where you are.
The calm and resilience to show up for the people and world you love — not pushed through. Grown slowly, from the outside in.
What people are saying:
“ Surprisingly very relaxing, which I did not expect…this course is fantastic!”
"A proper kickstart — a reset for when things get a little hectic. I go back to it on hard days just to hear it in the background…"
“I'm very grateful for the opportunity to experience your course and I want to say you inspired me today…”
"I didn't realise how much I needed to learn to tune into my outdoor spaces. Now I experience them in a completely new way — more joy, more calm, a sense of belonging I didn't know I'd been missing."
