Supporting a return to the wild, authentic self

Nature as the soul’s compass

The scaffold on which I grew my spirituality in the past became untenable. It became overgrown with vines that took it down. It rusted and broke. Nature is always stronger and more enduring. Nature is who we are. How could we forget that?

 

if you are…

… yearning to connect more deeply with the natural world

… feeling spiritually empty, like something is missing

… unhappy with what’s happening, or what’s not happening with climate change

… sensing that we need to heal a growing rift between nature and humans- and between people

… yearning to find a deeper you

i can help you heal soul and earth

with nature as your guide through…

… solo saunter exercises: spending time outdoors with specific practices to connect with nature FREE SAMPLE

… one-on-one mentoring to increase your capacity to deepen your relationship with the sacred wild SCHEDULE

… saunter circles (coming soon): small group gatherings engaged in discussion and sacred sauntering exercises

… guided and semi-guided meditation journeys

… workshops (in development)

… psychic readings for when you need to dig deeper SCHEDULE

all these activities can lead to…

… a greater connection with Earth and knowing that you belong here

… a more enriched spiritual life, reconnecting to the sacred wild within

… a new way of seeing the world and your place in it

… knowing you are part of the ecology solution, not the problem

… an increased compassionate relationship between you and the other beings in nature - you may find it helps your relationship with other humans, too

Individual work: solo saunter exercises, guided meditation journeys, one-on-one mentoring, psychic readings, personality assessment via Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (coming soon)

“I don't like either the word [hike] or the thing. People ought to saunter in the mountains - not 'hike!' Do you know the origin of that word saunter? It's a beautiful word. Away back in the middle ages people used to go on pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and when people in the villages through which they passed asked where they were going they would reply, 'A la sainte terre', 'To the Holy Land.' And so they became known as sainte-terre-ers or saunterers. Now these mountains are our Holy Land, and we ought to saunter through them reverently, not 'hike' through them.” John Muir
