It was so interesting for me to read this post about parks because even though I live about ten minutes from a city, I rarely walk in parks as I'm surrounded by wilderness. It makes me realise how privileged I am to have access to such wilderness - although I know that for some people my countryside setting might not seem desirable!! I do feel lucky to enter the forests near me and not have to abide by rules - other than the etiquette my shamanic training asks of me, which is to honour 'the sacred green' I find myself in.
That's such a great perspective. I don't know anything about shamanism but I love the idea of honouring the 'sacred green'. I've lived in the countryside, so walking in the wilderness is something I often crave. I think that's why I started searching for wild spots in London – quite unintentionally. Our subconscious can lead us to just what we need. If we let it!
Thanks for joining the chat and for sharing the post :-)
I've been learning to let my feet lead the way more often and it's brought many adventures! I'm going to start sharing some soon as part of a new feature of The Writer's Walk called Field Notes. Watch this space!

I love that your subconscious led you on a journey to find the wild spots in London!
