Feeling awe is a rush of adrenaline, it’s goosetingles and it’s ultimately serenity. Maybe even a touch of humility, as you recognise the grandness of your surroundings.
When did you last feel this?
On a mountainside gazing over a valley. Banging shoulders raving at a sweaty gig. Witnessing an emergency worker selflessly risk life and limb to rescue a stranger.
Awe (like mindfulness, flow and gratitude) is a state of mind leaving us feeling fricking great! A real mood boost.
A true awe experience connects us to people and planet. We become more open minded and happier to deal with nuance. It can even change our perception of time!
Our new app, Awe, is your guide on the journey into this state of mind.
Awe helps you regain your sense of awe and wonder through awe-enhanced moments in nature. Be led to beautiful nearby nature and listen to an awe-inspiring audio guide. Notice your surroundings. Contemplate the world at large. Feel deeply connected to people and planet.
Nature + Awe = double whammy of mental health goodness.
Researchers have found 2 hours of nature a week contribute to great health and wellbeing. People that visit nature several times a week report higher life satisfaction. Ecotherapy techniques like forest bathing give us both physiological and psychological benefits including alleviating stress and depression.
Urban nature is becoming harder to find. City dwellers are nature-deprived. Awe leads you to lovely nature spots in your city to rest, meditate or think. Spend time in the presence of ancient trees, under starry skies and beside calming rivers.
