Unless you respect & honour what you eat or catch, as the aboriginals did and some [such as my close friend's tribe, he is the son of the chieftain] still do, the
only thing nature is "connecting" with is your stomach.
The question to the OP is more why do they want to connect more with nature. If it is for a selfish reason then nature won't careless if they stripped naked and ran wild through the underbrush. There'll be absolutely no real connection except maybe with the ticks.
This is why in the olden days of the western frontier the old hermits and mountain men were once often recorded as being different. They are indeed connected with nature and view things far differently than their city slicker brethren. It is a slower lifestyle & far more peaceful. I'd know, I think nothing of throwing a backpack on and disappearing deep into the backwoods for days on end. I prefer it actually.
The easiest way depends on where the OP is. If they are stuck in a city, find a city park and meditate. Grow something in the backyard, or if no backyard the apartment. Take up painting, photography, etc.
Study animals. A better expectation would be let the animals study
you.
Ever seen the older folks sitting on a park bench feeding the birds. Notice how the birds are usually all over them, even have absolutely no fear of landing on their shoulders, their hair, or their hands. Try it, it is quite an experience.
