safe communal experiential and learning spaces held in nature
- We offer four distinct and complementary journeys into the depth of the psyche, the body, and nature.
- The intention is to awaken to a deeply felt sense of joyful participation with nature and the larger whole.
- Our approach holds compassion and presence at its center from where we practice facing reality as it is.
- The groups are held small enough to allow for individual participation, depth, and community building.
- Nature is included as an active participant.

ABOUT OUR NATURE & COMMUNITY BASED APPROACH TO INNER WORK

Inner Work
We are living in unprecedented times. Climate change and mass extinction are happening at accelerated speed, together with witnessing wars, genocides and mass destruction in different places on the planet. Perhaps the most pressing need for us as humanity, especially in the Global North, is to awaken to a deeply felt sense of interconnectedness. We foster a type of inner work that includes nature and all lifeforms in the Self, to support an awakening to a deeper sense of interconnection and belonging, and to be naturally moved towards taking action on behalf of Mother Earth.

Awareness
This awakening requires that we look both at the light and shadow of our interconnectedness with the whole. We hold space to examine habits, believes, perceptions, and conditionings dictated by unconscious personal and collective patterns, which may prevent us from coming back to our original nature and from being in good relationship with the self, the other, and the world. Each participant is supported in bringing forth their innate wisdom and inclusive soul to carry their gift to the world. We practice the courageous and compassionate heart, to face the hard facts of our time.

Nature & Community Based Creative Learning Spaces
Nature and the psyche are in deep resonance with each other. We work in beautiful natural settings, and engage with nature in creative ways. We work in small groups, making time and space for individual participation, deepening, and the emergence of a greater wisdom coming from the collective field. We work with nature, deep embodiment, mindfulness, and creative and authentic expression. We support ways of knowing and relating beyond cognition and words.

This work is for:
- Anyone who desires to experience a deeply felt sense of belonging to Mother Earth and interconnectedness with all that is. While having the space and safety to hold the whole range of each other‘s feelings, emotions and expressions with curiosity, empathy and compassion.
- Anyone who out of a very real sense of commitment and concern for our beautiful Mother Earth, wants to be of service, and feel rooted in a nourishing community.
- Anyone who desires to restore balance in their relationship to the Self, the Other, and the World.
