Nature Connection Offers Self-Connection
“Within nature connection,
the mind and body
receive a break or pause,
and the whole person can find a
more profound sense of self.”
Tamara Schmidt
Fleurbain = fleur + urbain
Fleurbain is a creative, inspired life, a verdant life, especially in areas where there can be a nature deficit, like cities. This website is for people looking to find balance and inspiration through nature connection, experiential herbalism, tailored nutrition, and the beauty found in nature.
Resources created by Tamara Schmidt help cultivate a love for yourself, positivity and joy. They help strengthen connections with the more-than-human-world. Focusing on self-love and nature connection ultimately reduces stress, increases creativity, improves mental and physical health, and relationships.
We are always in the company of nature
We are nature
In the last number of years, studies have shown that we benefit from taking our natural selves to natural spaces on a regular basis. Fleurbain describes the ways we connect with nature, especially when we are in the city. It’s an inspired form of self-care, connecting to beauty in nature and allowing awe found in nature connection to breathe new energy into our day to day lives.
A herbalist nature lover finding magic in everyday life.
People improve their mental and physical health by deepening their connections to the natural world. As an experiential herbalist, I guide people through first-hand experiences with plants and trees. I’m often called to work with people in the urban setting, helping them strengthen nature connection in cities where there can be a nature deficit.
So much can be achieved, for everyone on the planet, through simple nature connections.
Hi! I’m Tamara Schmidt and I’m an Herbal Therapist, and Certified Forest Therapy Guide.
I am keen on helping people strengthen their connection with nature so they can feel their best.

Nature connection is a radical form of self-care.
This is especially true when I am experiencing big shifts in my life. Long walks outdoors, watching the birds, listening to the wind, heart connections with plants and trees, making herbal tea, noticing something unusual in nature and allowing myself to take in the moment is an expansive practice of self-care that helps me to shift my mood, open my mind, and find myself in a better space to take on my day.

A great opportunity to meet other forest connected humans! An exploration through sharing of ideas and feelings. A learning experience of oneself. An understanding of why I feel the way I feel in the forest.
I very much appreciated Tamara’s tender presence.

This was a wonderful program. I really enjoyed the daily newsletters with so much useful information about tea plants and the prompts were skilfully crafted. Tammy is inspiring with her presence as well as her herbalist knowledge.

If you’re too busy to take this program, then you need it. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the city or on a farm, there is significant value in participating in a guided nature walk and/or month-long program. If you’re an overthinker and not sure if it’s for you – just sign up and find out for yourself.
It’s a great opportunity to get out of your head and tune-in to a whole other dimension of life. You also get the added bonus of being in the company of delightful people, including Tamara.

Tamara has such a beautiful gentle way of inviting one back into their body, and into community with nature and non human beings. A connection that is so satisfying to one’s soul!
Her invitation, her process, allows one to fully relax into the experience without pressure or set expectations!
I am super excited that she has brought this same magic, her process, to book form, where we can access and experience this nature connection whenever and wherever we find ourself.
