Ever since the author first read about the concept of a "Sit Spot" in "Coyote's Guide to Connecting with Nature" by Young, Haas and McGown (2010), it struck a strong chord within her. She has been aware of the concept of having a special place within nature that people are connected to and return to often, but she hadn't known that there are structured lessons created to enable practice. She believes that the concepts of "place" and "sit spot" are directly interrelated. Interactions with the outdoor environment stimulate people in a way that brings out their inner child and lets their inhibitions disappear. Through the exploration of sit spot practices and idea of place, she has become more aware of all the developmental benefits they have to offer. She believes nature experience is an integral part of human development; whether it is through sit spots or direct interactions with the natural environment, it has many lessons to offer that one truly cannot learn anywhere else.
