Suggested Characteristics
A Tree-Singer is deeply connected to Nature, feeling the changes of the seasons, the magic and consciousness of the unbroken wilderness, the need for balance. You lived in seclusion — either in a sheltered community or entirely alone — for a formative part of your life. In your time apart from the clamor of society, you found quiet, solitude, and perhaps some of the answers you were looking for.
