I have found that Nature can give us many insights into Life. Particularliy in Problem/Challenge solving - they can be used as metaphors (a symbol) to help us get a deeper understanding of our world, our Landscape.

I find gardening can be used as a metaphor. For example, you could say, metaphorically, a car mechanic's workshop may need pruning, weeding, mowing, watering, dead heading and composting... That could transpose into the following questions:

How many parts suppliers are like that tree who's roots are undermining the foundations of the house?
What types of cars thrive in this environment?
Who's in charge of the tool shed - keeping the tools sharpened?

An overview of the process is as follows:

Anchor a positive Zelandscape - to give us an 'anchor' to feel safe and happy.
Determing the current challenge you'd like some insights on.
Pick a saying that best reflects it.
Put the real life situation on 'the back burner'.
Explore the metaphorical landscape as you walk in Nature.
Revisit the original challenge - notice what you notice, see, hear, feel and smell it.
With these insights "Step Forward" in confidence with your action plan.

Let's go for a wee walk....
