I both agree and disagree. If we eliminate our spiritual experiences from spending time in nature, we are chasing God away from something that He created for our enjoyment (Remember where it all started? That's right, in the garden!).
At the same time, if we avoid being with these annoying (and I hope not everybody is annoying at all times) brothers and sisters and opt out to pray JUST in nature, it's not good. However, if we reserve nature for times of retreat, we do great.

I heard a preacher once, who said something to this effect: "Of course it is easy to worship in nature I don't have to face you!" Okay, he might have softened it a little bit, but you get the point. He wanted to stress the point that loving each other might be difficult, while praying in nature we are alone, so we don't have to work as hard at certain things.

i find nature to be a good place for letting go. some years ago i used to go out for a day in to the woods, only having a solid breakfast and maybe taking a small bible with me. The sense of simplicity, purity and harmony would put many issues in the right perspective, helping to sort out different questions in life.
this video braught back nice memories from that. thanks!
