“Engaging in outdoor risky play brings forward the life preserving faculties in our mammalian nervous system, which offer profound opportunities for insight and growth.” -Nature-Based Therapy: A Practitioner’s Guide to Working Outdoors by Nevin Harper, Kathryn Rose, & David Segal . The natural consequences that come with taking risks is one of our greatest teachers. Children and adults need opportunities to test and adapt to risk. Playing in nature inherently offers these opportunities because of its constant change. These opportunities help us witness the constant change within ourselves. Offering up gentle challenges to our comfort zone as we test the limits of our danger zone. Which leads to the expansion and self-conditioning of our mental, emotional, spiritual and physical abilities. . My little man here biffed it hard coasting down a steep hill this morning as we walked around the US National Whitewater Center. He tested the limits of his danger zone head on. After he wept for his experience, he began talking about the next time we come and how he’s going to bike down the hill differently. . Take all the risks that feel appropriate to you and if you’re not comfortable taking risks go play in nature for a bit. #playinginnature #bikes #bike #bicycle #trailbiking #trailife #biffedit #biffedithard #naturalconsequences #consequences #takerisks #takerisksandprosper #foryourhealth #naturetherapy #naturebasedtherapy #usnationalwhitewatercenter #Ecoidentity #ecologicalmindset #re #radicalearth https://www.instagram.com/p/CCJHvNWh54B/?igshid=o8jhh6sath7j

It took me awhile but I did find the trail I was looking for but I did. The Long Creek Preserve Trail was recently reopened for business after being closed for some maintenance and boy oh boy was it ever gorgeous! 😍 #LongCreekPreserveTrail #CarolinaThreadTrail #carolinathreadtrail🌿 #USNationalWhitewaterCenter #CharlotteNC #Charlotte #NC #NorthCarolina #CLT #LongCreek #CatawbaRiver #USNWC #USNWCTrails #USNWCRiverJam #RiverJam #whitewatercentercharlotte #usnationalwhitewater #whitewatercentercharlotte #whitewatercenter #whitewater #summer #July6th #hot🔥 #humid #4thofjulyweekend🇺🇸💥🇺🇸 #LongCreekPreserve #LongCreekConservationArea #CatawbaLandsConservancy #CatawbaLands (at U.S. National Whitewater Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzmkzIsppBG/?igshid=nu2a4jkjplmp

Prior to checking out tonight's River Jam concert series at the U.S. National Whitewater Center, I decided to get in a quick hike on their mountain bike trails. Unfortunately I got lost finding a particular trail I wanted to check out...but this zip line helped point me in the right direction. #Figure8 #Figure8Trail #USNationalWhitewaterCenter #CharlotteNC #Charlotte #NC #NorthCarolina #CLT #CatawbaRiver #USNWC #USNWCTrails #USNWCRiverJam #RiverJam #whitewatercenter #whitewatercentercharlotte #usnationalwhitewater #whitewater #summer #July6th #4thofjulyweekend🇺🇸💥🇺🇸 #hot🔥 #humid #zipline #mountainbiking🚲 #biketrails🚲 #mountainbiketrails🚲 (at U.S. National Whitewater Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzmeyR1JUgj/?igshid=1wfvp418hu87
