Oranges from the prison 來自監獄的橘子

Oranges from the prisons healed people inside and outside. After receiving thank-you cards from the children at high risk, inmates know they can give instead of taking. 

Everyone needs opportunities to love and be loved.

今年在監獄的綠色療癒課程要告一個段落了，沒想到大哥小弟們在這麼短的時間之內，有那麼多的感受與想法。

耶誕節準備的丁香橘子送給圍牆之外一群不愛或不能上學的孩子手上，監獄內的人需要有關愛的對象，教室內的人需要別人的在乎，一顆顆黃澄澄的橘子串連了一顆顆受傷的心。

孩子們感謝卡上簡簡單單的“謝謝”二字，像是融入巧克力的太妃糖，讓大哥小弟們甜在心頭。

每個人都需要有愛別人和愛自己的機會。

陽光的溫暖溫暖你的心 Sunshine warms our hearts

Sunshine has magic power that warms our hearts and shows us hopes.

太陽一直是神奇的，總是射入我們的心，指引我們希望的方向。

Colorful nature迷幻自然色

Butchard garden is one of my favorite in Vancouver. A wonder of nature colors.

第一次去Butchard 花園時有點震撼到，好像進入一個夢幻的多彩世界...

Green Care- a bridge between agriculture and healthcare

Green Care is defined as multicultural agriculture or a bridge between agriculture and healthcare in Europe. In our rural daycare facility, we embrace the power of nature and the harvest of farms.

「秋冬養陰」、「虛者補之，寒者溫之」的古訓讓我們知道「補冬」的道理。當歸、桂枝、人蔘及丁香是陪伴我們過冬得好夥伴喔！今天和身心障礙中心的朋友們分享了銀耳甜湯和桂枝按摩油。都是從在地農家取得的材料。
來自香港的R先生教我們如何煲銀耳湯。中風後，他已經在復健機構復健十年了。是我們green care課程最認真的同學。

Sunshine warms every corner-green care in correction institutions 陽光照進狱窗内

Sunshine warms every corner in the world, even inside the jail. Today harvests from my garden warm inmates’ hearts, especially when they know the dessert was prepared by my mom early this morning. Sunshine and love reaches them through the harvest!

为了要让洛神花享受充分的阳光，忍痛砍了相思树。没想到，竟然有豁然开朗的新气象。立马带着新鲜的洛神花，和矫正机构的个案分享。酸酸的洛神花酱搭配义大利饼干，让这些长年受刑的个案有机会接到阳光的能量！ ​​​

被颱風吹倒了，還是結實累累！

Animal-assisted therapy-respect動物輔助治療-尊重

   
Just had a great talk with a animal assisted therapist from International Society for Animal Assisted Therapy (ISAAT) in Switzerland. We all agree “Respect” is the key to the path of Green Care. With respect, we care our nature friends, animals and plants. Living happily, animals and plants  share their power and love, that we can only perceive with our pure mind. Nature friends are our partners in the practices of Green Care, rather than tools. Animals, plants, wind, rocks and all the other nature elements are always our nature friends.

最近很開心和一位來自瑞士ISAAT 的動物輔助治療師聊天，沒想到我們竟然有那麼多相似的想法。是的，“尊重”就是Green Care的態度。當我們的自然夥伴活得幸福、活得快樂時，我們就能感受到他們的療癒力。自然界的一切都是我們好夥伴，動物、植物、微風、石頭、陽光.....

Many animals can be our company as long as they are connected to our life.
任何動物都可能成為我們的夥伴，當他們與我們的生命連結時。
