Oikadelic

The felt experience of unity with nature. When the normally perceived boundaries between self and nature dissolve. An oikadelic experience is like a psychedelic experience except it is not caused by the taking of any drugs. An oikadelic is the result of spending contemplative time in nature, aka on the natch.

Dude, I just came in from a walk in the forest and had such an oikadelic experience.
