Lead by Atala Toy, experience connecting with and photographing nature spirits. Focus on connecting to trees and the many kinds of beings who work with and through them.
Find out how trees communicate with each other, and connect to earth’s energy grid, and the local devas who work with them.
Become attuned to how trees express their feelings through the images they generate on their personal canvas—their trunks. It truly is a remarkable experience to connect with nature spirits and it will forever change how you take a walk in nature.
Bring a camera, a cell phone, or good DSLR. Dress for hiking with closed-toed shoes and bring a bottle of water. Meet at Infinity and go from there to a local park for an afternoon of exploring and photographing. Gain an astonishing new way to relate to the world around you.

Daylight Saving Time History
Most people credit Benjamin Franklin with coming up with daylight saving time, but in reality, it wasn’t Franklin, but an Englishmen named William Willet in 1905 who first came up with the idea we currently use today. He published a brochure in1907 called “The Waste of Daylight” and spent much of his personal fortune enthusiastically promoting the adoption of what the Brits call “summer time.” Germany was the first country to adopt daylight saving time in April of 1916 in order to conserve electricity.
American farmers did not lobby for daylight saving to have more time to work in the fields. The agriculture industry was deeply opposed to the time switch when it was first implemented on March 31, 1918, which began as a wartime measure. The sun dictates farmers’ schedules, which meant daylight saving was very disruptive to farming. Why? Farmers had to wait an extra hour for dew to evaporate to harvest hay, hired hands worked less since they still left at the same time for dinner and cows weren’t ready to be milked an hour earlier to meet shipping schedules. It was repealed in 1919 and was reinstated during World War II. It wasn’t until 1966 and the Uniform Time Act that America began observing Daylight Savings Time on the same date and time.
