Join us in the splendor of a spring morning in Placerita Canyon as we reflect on "A Year in the Woods" by Torbjorn Ekelund.
The story: Ekelund decides to leave the city after work and camp near a tiny pond in the forest. The next morning, he returns to work as usual. He does this once a month for a full year. What happens over the course of that year of seasons is nothing short of transformative.
Evoking Henry David Thoreau and the four-season structure of Walden, A Year in the Woods asks if the secret to communing with nature lies in small rituals and reflection.
