Title The Sentience of Rowan Trees and Leaves Impact / scope International Media name/outlet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydczd3G0nEc Media type Web Duration/Length/Size 7.08 minutes Country/Territory Finland Date 03.11.2025 Description Each autumn, streets, hedgerows, fields, river banks, woodland areas and forests areas around Rovaniemi, the capital city of Lapland, Northern Finland, are illuminated with the shades and
colours of rowans. These trees invite us to be near them in order to absorb their delicate positive energies. By mid-October, many trees here in the Arctic north are bare. Through contemplation
of leaves both on trees and fallen to the ground, the layered colours appeal to the senses, especially when the leaves are still attached to their stems. The different colours communicate
the essence of the sun’s power that has been absorbed by the mother tree throughout late spring when the first buds appear and then, during the summer months, when they grow to their full strength and mature by the beginning of the autumn. The trees’ colours signify their maturity. I tend to see the colours of rowan leaves as an expression of the slow but profound release of the energies of the sun’s fire with which they have been nurtured and sustained throughout their annual lifecycle before shedding begins. On reflection, similar colours could be considered visible within different sunrises across different sunset times in the sky over the western horizon here in the Arctic north during winter months. These colours are deepened and expanded notably during the coldest days of the year, making these times particularly interesting to be outdoors.Producer/Author Francis Joy URL https://www.sentientforestproject.com/_files/ugd/b1f772_b89f522814be4ab2b0265ebf1e7c2018.pdf Persons Francis Joy
