Sève
what's alive in you

A daily practice
for the ones who
keep powering through.

Sève is a guided nature connection practice for women who are good at doing what needs to be done, and have slowly lost the thread back to themselves. Each day, five questions and a feeling check-in carry you from what you notice outside to what you sense within. A few minutes outdoors, wherever you are.

Free for two weeks.

Here's what Sève looks like from the inside.

A short intro to the practice, in my own words, walking you through an ordinary day with the app.

Three minutes.
The living world.
You.

Most of us are good at getting through the day. We do what needs to be done. We keep moving. What we are less practised at is stopping, even briefly, to ask how we actually feel and what we actually need.

Sève is built around that pause. Each day, a seasonal invitation drawn from where nature is right now. Five questions that move from noticing what is outside to sensing what is inside. A feeling check-in that doesn't try to fix anything, just names what is there.

Even three minutes counts. A 2019 University of Exeter study of around 20,000 people found that spending at least 120 minutes a week in nature was associated with better health and wellbeing. About two hours, spread however suits you. Sève helps you get there without it becoming one more task on the list.

And if you have been advised to spend more time outdoors, whether by a health professional or by your own good instinct, Sève turns that advice into a daily practice you can keep.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Sève is a complete daily practice, not a content library to get lost in.

Five daily questions

They move from observation to sensation to something truer. Each week draws from where the season actually is.

Guided audio walks

Recorded in a real nearby forest. My voice and the sound of leaves, walking you back to yourself.

Feeling check-in

Seven feelings, each one carrying a message about what you need. Not here to fix what you feel. Here to help you understand it.

Nature time tracker

Even three minutes counts. Sève tracks your time in nature and helps you build toward what your body actually needs.

Community photo wall

A beautiful, unhurried space to share what you notice outside. No likes, no comments. Only collective beauty.

The rising poem

One word a day. Together, members are writing a living poem about what they see and feel in the natural world.

Maple leaves beginning to turn orange over green

Take your time with it.

Seven minutes. Every feature, every screen, every question, walked through at a real pace, the way I'd show a friend.

Tamara Schmidt, founder of Sève

I built this because I needed it.

In 2020 I was living in Montreal and walking every day to whatever green space I could find. I was a certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide, which sounds like I had it figured out. I didn't. I was powering through my days, doing what I thought I ought to do, tuning out how I actually felt so I could keep going.

What I noticed on those walks was simple. By the time I arrived at the park, something had shifted. I could feel what I was actually feeling. And from that alive place, I could think about my life more clearly. Not with all the noise turned up. With it turned down.

Over time, asked daily, one question changed things for me. What would be the most loving thing I could offer myself today. It sounds small. It wasn't. It helped me make real changes in my life. The kind I had been circling for years.

I'm a Wayfinder Life Coach, a certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide, and a registered PaRx connector, part of the nature-prescription movement in Canada. I built Sève by combining that training with what I know from my own daily practice. It is not a content library. It is a return practice. A way of learning, slowly, that tending yourself is not indulgent. It is how you find your way back.

I'm the sole creator of this space. If you write to me, I write back within 48 hours. You are not a user here.
