Take a moment to pause. Nature is a pathway to inner peace and spiritual rejuvenation.

seeking SOLACE

“NATURE HEALS,” remarks 24-year-old mountaineer Matt Tiongco.

“Sometimes, I trek in silence; moments where I’m just listening to the birds chirping, listening to water flowing, listening to the wind. There’s just something, I guess, primal about being in touch with your surroundings.”

He recalls a multi-day climb, in the company of towering trees draped in moss, the swoosh of river streams, and a 360-degree view of mountains rugged against the backdrop of a sea of clouds.

“It’s a meditative experience in itself,” he shares.

The mountains are undoubtedly a stark contrast to the concrete jungle of urban Metro Manila. In today’s hyper-connected life, we are glued to our mobile phones, viewing life through screens. We dream about our next holiday trip and sit waiting for the weekend to come for a hint of relaxation and rejuvenation. But, what if all it takes is to pay attention?
