The Guide Istanbul - March/April 2020

この問題で

When was the last time you thought of yourself as a part of nature? Most people believe that in a world filled with separate, unrelated things, humans are greater than the environment they live in.

This is why it’s so hard for them to see the impact they make on the planet–and to take responsibility for actions that affect not only themselves, but also everyone else, along with future generations.

Many believe that this ongoing disintegration is a direct reflection of the state of our souls. As we disconnect from nature, our inner lives become reduced to the most basic instincts and necessities.

Therefore, the sudden need to get closer to the living world–which we see today in modern society–isn’t just another trend. It’s an aspect of human nature that many of us, residents of the world's big cities, have forgotten.

The link to nature that lives within all of us tends to follow a seasonal pattern; we often notice its awakening as soon as spring arrives. So over the next two months, we invite you to explore this part of who you are a little bit deeper.

The quest for more balance is about finding the right relationships in all aspects of life. So while we will try to help you add a new dimension to your lives through nature, we also trust that you’re ready to do your part in the endeavor.

Let’s explore the great outdoors together.
