Step up your ability to tap into Nature’s vital essence, whether you live in a rural, urban, or suburban community. Deepen your capacity to tap into its powers to guide, calm, inform, and restore — the why and how will be investigated and experienced in this program.

Self-evidence is key to revitalizing our sensory connections to the healing power of Nature. You will investigate our vast potential as sensitive human beings. Learn why sensitivity is a real asset for those of us living in a culture whose numbing speed and information excess collude, often leaving exhaustion and dispiritedness in its wake.

Refine your innate ability to receive and respond to the web of life’s brilliant wisdom in this workshop. You will learn how sensory-ecology has empowered and enlightened those of us living in a consumer-based culture.

A review of the challenges of reclaiming our authentic Nature, as well as a five point strategy for developing resilience, will be presented. We will have time for group discussion. This 90-minute program includes an informative Keynote talk enhanced by beautiful illustrations, enlivening nature connection activity, and a deeply relaxing guided meditation. No meditation experience is needed.
