Start your journey to flourishing with wisdom from nature.

With the same soothing and sage insights from his beloved online channels where he is known as Garden Marcus, Marcus Bridgewater invites us all to journal on growth and transformation inspired by nature.

Using the central metaphor of a tree, Bridgewater explores how to undergo personal transformation in our minds (the leaves), in our bodies (the trunk), and in our spirit (our roots). Just as a tree yearns to grow, so do we. But as Marcus makes clear, "writing a single journal entry and expecting your life to turn around is like asking for fruit from a tree you planted yesterday. Growth doesn't just happen-it's a never-ending process, something we should welcome and embrace."

In this beautiful self-care journal, we can discover powerful and healing practices organized by the seasons, each mirroring different stages of our growth process:

SUMMER: learning how to pace and keep tempo FALL: opening ourselves to embrace transition and practice gratitude WINTER: taking time to rest, reflect, and prepare SPRING: discovering inspiration, keeping momentum

Like the rings of a tree marking every year of growth, our journal can become a log of lessons learned throughout the seasons of our lives. Featuring journal prompts, activities, breathing and mindfulness exercises, and bite-sized bits of knowledge to help us slow down, experiment with new wellness practices, Seasons of Growth can lead us to find inner clarity, harmony, and peace.
