Autumn Tides: Sarah Fountain's Healing Journey Through Nature

The estuary taught me how to witness the seasons change and observe marine ecosystems, but it also showed me what it means to get stuck, let go and, above all that autumn is a time for tides to come and change everything.
Have you ever wondered how the great outdoors can help in the journey of recovery? In this episode of 'Nature Untold Short Stories', Sarah Fountain shares her deeply personal essay, 'Autumn Tides'. Sarah, a past guest, opens up about her experiences with addiction, sobriety, and recovery, all set against the backdrop of nature. Her story is a vivid reminder of how the natural world can be a powerful ally in overcoming life's toughest challenges.
Sarah recounts waking up on a plywood floor covered in weed, dust, and dirt in the hills of northern California—a pivotal moment that marked the beginning of her path to recovery. Through her essay, she reflects on how observing the changing tides and marine ecosystems taught her about letting go and embracing change.
'The estuary taught me how to witness the seasons change and observe marine ecosystems, but it also showed me what it means to get stuck, let go, and, above all, that autumn is a time for tides to come and change everything', she writes. This episode is not just about Sarah's journey; it's about the universal themes of hope, strength, and the importance of community in recovery.
Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Sarah's story offers a compelling narrative of transformation and growth through nature's healing embrace.
