“ Truly, if anyone wants to get to know me, come sit with me in the woods.“

“ Truly, if anyone wants to get to know me, come sit with me in the woods.“

When we were looking for an Adhara Wellness Leader who could easily help us to connect with nature, we didn’ t have to look far. Leila’ s upbringing, career in Ayurvedic cooking and health expertise, and her genuine love for plants, animals and our fine planet, makes her a great role model for feeling alive and connected to all that is alive around us.
With each question we raised, Leila answered just as someone who is deeply connected to themselves and our luscious Mother Earth would- slowly and with absolute purpose.
“ How do you find your connection to nature?,” we asked hoping she would deliver the keys to our kingdom. And she did.
“ I find connection by dropping into the senses because we feel most alive when we are in our senses. I sit differently in my bones when I’ m in nature so the more I can get into my senses, I can easily feel that connection.”
In other words, stop and smell the roses.
