BORN IN THE WOODS. staying grounded in THE CITY.

I've been thinking a lot about how to stay grounded, connected and inspired these days... honestly, I'm always thinking about this. In NYC we race around buzzing from one thing to the next. The energy is intoxicating and amazing but also often depleting even at the best of times. Design Wild's goal has always been to make spaces for reprieve within the city, to bring a little of the woods and wilds to our streets, to our homes, to our lives. We aim to create space where people can stop, and take a breath... However, sometimes I need to dip back into the source of that wild inspiration. I hunger to be filled back up! The higher the stress the more WILD I need. I'm starting a little series called 'Keeping it Wild' on how I for one go about staying connected (or at least struggle to do so...). I remain always on the look out for the WILD in things; that sense of wild peace one can find in the deep magic of the woods or sometime simply laying in a pile of leaves in Central Park. I hope these posts will help others find a little piece of wild beauty in their own hectic lives; peace, breath and a little wonder in all the turmoil.
