Susan J. Farese, MSN, RN of SJF Communications taught her “Capturing Your Creativity with Haiku” Reflective Practice virtual workshop for the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Students for the Hahn School of Nursing at the University of San Diego (USD) on July 15, 2025.
Many thanks to Bri DuBose, PhD, MHI, RN, LSS BB Clinical Associate Professor for the invitation!
Susan presented her PowerPoint slides discussing the origins of and several key points about Haiku. She demonstrated several ways that Haiku can relate to Nursing (i.e. aesthetic knowing, creative outlet, perceptions of clinical events, expressions of caring, self-care, values clarification, nursing roles and/or conflicts, coping and more)!
Along with the PowerPoint, Susan showed her own nature photography as prompts for writing Haiku and shared several of her Haiku related to the photos with a Nursing focus.
Participants were asked to think about moments in nursing and create a Haiku from either their best or worst day in nursing (or in their life). Alternatively, they also had the choice to create a Haiku of their own choosing, but focused on nursing. The suggested syllable length for each line was 5-7-5.
Thanks as always to all of the participants for attending, interacting and sharing their wonderful work!
Please note: The Haiku are anonymous for privacy reasons.
Enjoy this wonderful compilation of celebrating and defining Nursing Arts with Haiku!
One path many steps Caring through the hardest days Cancer can’t take that
Best shift of my life Evicting leukemia Bone marrow transplant
Small hands held— brave giggles echo— in pediatric patients.
Worst shift of my life Bifurcating oxygen Covid took them all
Protective factor “Please tell me, what is yours?” She smiles, “Prince Harry”
Frustration with you Choosing comfort over care Baby cries silent
Hope pressed into tiny chests- Grief filled every breath Mother’s cries remain
Waves upon the screen, Silent hearts speak in rhythms— I listen, I guard.
Emergent sirens sound Rush rush rush, still don’t forget Importance of touch
Tiny pills, big weight charts, side effects, endless names, Sleep lost to dosage
Covid took a toll Some wounds are not seen outside Forever changed now
Chaos and stress build I look to a friend for help We succeed as one
This side of the bed. Blurring the lines of knowing. Helping you, help me.
Dance with me, my friends Through planets filled with wonder I will go alone
Blood on my black shoes Deafening silence, defeat Pandemic deceits
Bodily loss hurts Seek meaning in given signs Hummingbirds are mine
Gentle hands hold time. Stories bloom in wrinkled skin. I pull up a chair.
“No longer with us.” Time moves on but grief remains, Folded into life

(SAN DIEGO, October 9, 2019) – Retired Judge Marshall Hockett and wife/traveling partner, Debbie Hockett of Encinitas are pleased to announce the publication of their book Tripping – 1975 – Falling in Love One Country at a Time.It is a love story set amidst a year of adventures on their year-long journey in a yellow Volkswagen van they lovingly dubbed the “Banana”. The book will be launched on November 16th at the Winn Room of the Coronado Library.
In 1968, Marshall attended
Stanford’s study program in England. During that year, he traveled the
European continent and got a “taste” of what was to be a life-long
love affair with travel. He knew he hadn’t seen the last of Europe.
Returning stateside, he finished
his undergraduate study at Stanford University and spent three years of law
school at the University of San Diego from which he graduated in 1972.
He started his law career at The
Legal Aid Society of San Diego, and met his wife, Debbie in court one day (she
was a court clerk). They have been inseparable for forty-five
years.
They formulated a plan to travel
in Europe for one year, and in 1975 made good on that plan.
A few days before they left for
Europe, they had dinner with their friends, Jim and Marian Malkus (Marian is
unfortunately now deceased). Marian gave Marshall a completely blank red
bound book with two wishes: 1. Fill it up and be completely honest,
and 2. Marian would be the first to read it. Marshall agreed and took her up on the offer. He gave Marian the journal upon their return.
Marian loved it and said others would as well.
Marshall began his law career in 1976 after returning from that year in Europe and worked for many years. The red journal sat and sat, until recently when a court clerk and Marshall discussed travel and the clerk suggested that Marshall write a book. Something clicked in Marshall and he said, “I did”. The clerk read and loved the book. They passed it around the court and the rest is history with Tripping 1975 being published!
Tripping – 1975 – Falling in Love One Country at a Timeis full of anecdotal stories and “vintage” 1975 photos from their
traveling in the “Banana” as well as in hotels along the way.
Tripping –
1975 – Falling in Love One Country at a Time takes the reader through several countries
and cities: Germany (Baumholder, Luxenbourg, Munich, Nuremberg), France (Paris,
Avignon, Narbone, Carcassonne, Casteljaloux, Perigueux, Montreuil-Bellay, St.
Vaast-la-Hougue, Bayeux,), Amsterdam, Spain (Barcelona, Cambrils, Granada,
Malaga, Estepona, Sevilla, Toledo, Madrid, Aranda de Duero, Santander,
Pamploma), Great Britain (Dover, London, Lincoln, Hexam, Bath, South Molton,
Woodstock), Scotland (Edinburgh, Ballater, Lochness, Lake Windermere, Fort Augustus
– Loch Ness), Wales (Rhyl, Chepstow), Switzerland (Delemont, Geneva, Zermatt,
Lauterbrunnen, Lucerne), Austria (Innsbruck, Hallein, Salzburg, Vienna),
Yugoslavia (Rijeka, Split, Dubrovnik, ), Bulgaria (Sofia, Plovdiv), Turkey
(Edirne, Istanbul, Alanya, Antalya, Pamukkale, Ankara, Izmir, near Edremit,
Ipsala), Greece (Kavala, Athens, Agios Nikolaos, Thera, Paros, Siros, Nafplio,
Sparta, Olympia), Israel (Jerusalem), Egypt (Cairo, Luxor), Crete (Iraklion),
Italy (Rome, Florence, Venice).
QUOTE FROM DEBBIE HOCKETT
“All through my life,
I’ve come across friends and acquaintances who have expressed a desire to
travel the world and wish they could do it. THEY
CAN! In the beginning, I was doubtful myself, but look what came
of it! We would never trade our year of travel for anything. It
gave us a different viewpoint of the world and the people in it. We found
that almost universally, people of all countries are nice and are anxious to
share conversation with you. This tell-all journal will show you how to
travel the world and love it!”
-Deborah (Debbie) Hockett
REVIEWS:
“The book grabs the
reader, I believe, because of the personal touches that flow throughout the
entire (book). You share the good and the bad, you address the wise and
not so wise decisions and simply lay things out as you found them. This
really appeals to me, and I think most readers would concur. This wasn’t
a fairyland tour where everything worked out perfectly.
When you described
Zermatt, Pamukkale and Egypt, I thought I was actually with you on the
trip! These are places that we’ve been to, and you really strike a chord
with readers who have been to the places that you describe. Your trip was
truly an “adventure”, An adventure is something that we all long for.
When you described places that we have not been to (the Dordogne Valley in
particular), I instinctively reached for the phone to call the travel
agent! Your one sentence description of Lochness was hysterical.”
-Attorney C.
“They say all good things
must come to an end and with a measured degree of reluctance I reached the
conclusion of Tripping 1975. From Atlantis, the Roman Empire, Greek
gods, and the Enlightenment, all journeys trace back to roads leading home I
suppose (although not in that order), The ending is truth and I’m keeping
my fingers crossed for it to play out. Thanks for the trip!”
– A. (Superior Court secretary)
In January 2020, Marshall
and Debbie will embark on a whirlwind cruising adventure: Around the world in
180 days aboard the Oceania Insignia!
When was the last time that you ‘unplugged’ from your devices and appreciated or partook in ‘nature’?
If your answer was today, this week, recently etc. – No worries…but if there’s a gap…there’s definitely hope!
In this interview, you will ‘virtually’ meet SJF Communications’ clients Sebastian Slovin and Sonya Mohamed, Owners of Nature Unplugged in Encinitas, California. We spent some great quality time ‘unplugging’ outdoors together at the beautiful San Dieguito County Park in Rancho Santa Fe for this fun photo shoot, inspiring conversation and of course, connecting with nature!
And now…without further ado..please sit back, relax and enjoy our SJF Communications interview with Sebastian and Sonya, owners of Nature Unplugged!
Sonya Mohamed and Sebastian Slovin, Nature Unplugged
SJF: Welcome Sebastian and Sonya! So nice to chat with you both today. What compelled to create Nature Unplugged together?
Sebastian: The origin of Nature Unplugged began about 10 years ago, when I started by providing unique outdoor experiences around San Diego. The aim was to get people off of their devices and out into nature by combining movement and mindfulness practices. I offered a variety of outdoor experiences – such as guided hikes, outdoor yoga, surfing, stand up paddling, and snorkeling – based on my expertise and background as a professional bodyboarder (boogieboarder), yoga instructor and nature enthusiast. My time in the ocean and on the mat inspired the services/experiences that Nature Unplugged provided.
A few years later, I met Sonya. While I grew up exploring the beaches and waves of Southern California, Sonya adventured in the woods of Valley Forge National Park near her home outside of Philadelphia. It wasn’t long before we started to explore ways to combine our individual skills and passions and share them with the world. We were fortunate to enroll in the MA of Leadership Studies program at the University of San Diego. It was there that our vision for Nature Unplugged really came together.
While at USD, we began to create curriculum specifically designed to help people cultivate wellness through healthy relationships with technology and a deeper connection to nature. Our focus right now is creating momentum for this movement. We offer workshops, speaking engagements/presentations, and one-on-one coaching. Our vision is to create conscious individuals and thriving communities through healthy relationships with nature and technology.
SJF: That’s awesome! What a way for each of you to live your purpose! Sonya, please describe 3 types/groups of people that would be ideal Nature Unplugged clients
Sonya: Sure, we work with several categories:
New Professionals/Millennials
We work with new professionals and millennials who are seeking work-life balance and want to prevent or manage burnout. This group often works in jobs where tech/screen times are heavy and finding balance is critical for their success in work and happiness beyond their professional roles.
Parents, Caretakers and Educators
We work with parents, caretakers and educators who are raising and developing young people in this digital age. We offer plans/tools/tips on how to teach healthy boundaries with technology and how to reconnect youth to the outdoors and nature.
Students
We work with adolescents (middle school/high school) who may have an imbalance with their tech use/screen time. This could be due to gaming/social media/etc.
Sonya Mohamed and Sebastian Slovin, Nature Unplugged
SJF: What motivates you as entrepreneurs?
Sebastian and Sonya: We are both highly creative and are energized by the process of starting something new. We feel uniquely equipped – with our personal, professional and educational backgrounds – to create and share tools and resources that can make a meaningful difference in people’s lives and communities.
SJF: Any roadblocks or challenges with Nature Unplugged along the way? Any challenges working together as partners/spouses?
Sebastian:While we’ve had some wonderful successes over the years and built great connections with individuals and communities, we’ve also had some challenges along the way. We work with people of all ages, though our formative work was primarily with adolescents ages 12-17. Often we would connect with parents who were very eager and committed to helping their children become less attached to/dependent on their smartphones, video games, or other devices. As you can imagine, that’s not the same mindset and eagerness the youngsters met us with.
As for working together as partners/spouses, there are sometimes added challenges and conflict with our dual roles. It can be hard to separate our personal and professional boundaries. Purely from a business partner standpoint, we are also quite different people. Sebastian is fueled by the larger abstract thinking and brainstorming where Sonya has more of a task and process orientation. Most often this is a useful balance that produces both the innovative ideas and the ability to implement them and bring them to life. It can also lead to misunderstandings and frustrations, as there’s a natural tension between the two.
That being said, we are grateful and feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn a lot about work and leadership dynamics through our MA in Leadership Studies program. We’ve learned (and continue to learn) how we work best individually and as partners. With styles and approaches that are very different, we have learned how to capitalize on our strengths and manage our tension points. The awareness and attention to those differences make for a great partnership.
SJF: Thank you for that incredibly astute explanation! Despite potential challenges you two work very well together!
SJF: How would you talk about Nature Unplugged to your 13 year old self(selves)
Sebastian: Great question! I’d say: “ You know 13 year old Sebastian, when I look back on my my life, do you know what stands out? It’s the relationships I’ve had, the face to face time, and the adventures of mixing it up out in the ocean and in nature. Your time is precious. Do what makes you feel alive”!
Sonya: I would say: “Never lose sight of your wild self. Run a muck outside as often as you can for as long as you can. Find some friends, get out into nature, explore and goof around. Play is not something reserved for children! You’re going to face a lot of pressure to conform and to take yourself more seriously. Stability is valuable, but it shouldn’t be at the expense of your happiness. Get in touch with what you want and don’t be afraid to go for it. It will be tempting to fill all your free time with tasks, and TV shows, and social media. Be careful there, you won’t be happier for it.
SJF: Why should we unplug?
Sebastian: Simply put: it feels better when we do. There is a growing body of research supporting the benefits – mentally, emotionally and physically – of getting off our devices and outside.
Sonya Mohamed and Sebastian Slovin Nature Unplugged
SJF: Pricing points?
Sebastian: For more information about Nature Unplugged presentations, workshops and coaching plans and pricing email: sebastian@natureunplugged.com or call: 858-775-6486
SJF:What is yourMotto/Tagline and how it evolved for Nature Unplugged?
Sebastian: Our mission/motto: Cultivating consciousness in the digital age
SJF: Describe your awesome, simplistic (yet extremely effective) Nature Unplugged Logo Design
Sonya: I designed and created the logo, using the ‘N’ from Nature and ‘U’ from Unplugged to create something beautiful and relevant to our work.
SJF: Who are Role Models in the entrepreneurial, fitness, academic etc world for you both?
Terri Monroe
Zachary Green
Brene Brown
Fred Kaufman
Jack Kornfield
Michael Phelps
Jon Kabat Zinn
Byron Katie
Michael Gervais
Jim Carrey
Paulo Coelho
Thich Nhatt Hanh
Jose Stevens
David Whyte
Dr. Seuss
SJF: Wow, such a great list. We’ll need to follow up and see any connections that might ensue!If you had to do it over again, (starting a business)….
Sebastian: We would have done it sooner! It’s scary (we still feel that fear a bit) and it’s taken us some time to lean into the discomfort and just go for it.
SJF: But…if you didn’t ‘go for it’ we wouldn’t be working together! So glad you leaned in!
SJF: Describe a workshop/presentation for Nature Unplugged
Sebastian and Sonya:
TITLE: “Nature Unplugged: How to Cultivate Consciousness in the Digital Age”
Presentation:
This interactive and dynamic presentation is all about thewhat and the why.What are we filling our time with and why? The focus is on why balance between time we spend/spent with technology and out in nature is important, and then practically speaking, how to find balance when we’re constantly being pulled and lured into imbalance. We explore the latest research on increased tech use and the benefits of nature, sharing our own personal stories in search of balance. Also included are tools and practices offered as takeaways to inspire attendees to take action and create meaningful change in their daily lives.
SJF: How much time are the presentations?
Sebastian and Sonya:
Typically 1 hour but can range 45 minutes to 1.5 hours.

Sebastian and Sonya:
We offer half-day (4 hour) and full-day (8 hour) workshops.
SJF: Where do you teach/provide the presentations?
Sebastian and Sonya:

SJF: Anything else you’d like to mention?
Sebastian and Sonya: Thanks so much for your time Susan and SJF Communications. We really appreciate it. The only thing we’d like to share with your readers is:
