Have you ever had the experience of wandering through a forest & encountering a ‘sacred space’ where you just naturally felt inclined to stop & take a deep breath? Taking a few more moments to slow down and become fully Present, you could not help but notice a revitalizing & peaceful force all around you.  If you have had one of these experiences, I am sure you will agree that this Energy or Presence is undeniable. Whether you experience this on a subtle or profound level, I am sure that most of us are able to acknowledge that something ‘very real’ is out there. Some of us are even able to appreciate that this pristine awareness also resides deep within us, and the resonance between this space and Nature, helps to bring us closer to our ‘True Selves’. By learning how to deeply connect and communicate with Mother Nature, you will discover some amazing things about the world around you and your true potential.

I think it is pretty obvious that one of my passions in life is to facilitate a deeper appreciation of Nature as a living system, possessing amazing healing energies and even a consciousness that can teach us great wisdom.  I believe that when we become more aware of the innate powers existing in Nature, our level of consciousness will inevitably be raised. This will result in such things as pursuing right actions (mind), improved health (body) and a greater sense of peace (spirit). This is the Magick that that Mother Nature is wanting to share with us. I would even go as far as saying that Mother Nature is currently, more than ever before, in the process of waking many of us up and calling us to return to her wisdom. Given that, at some point in our evolutionary history, we all had a very intimate relationship with Nature, it could be said that we are being drawn back to our roots. I am definitely feeling this calling and am looking forward to sharing this work with others.

At this point in my life, I want to work with people who are ready to slow down, those who are serious about taking back control of their lives. If you are frequently feeling rushed or experiencing constant heightened stress, then I would argue that life is controlling you. You may think you are in control, but unless you enjoy feeling this constant pressure, and do not really want a more relaxed and balanced lifestyle, you are not truly in full control. Try this test.  In the middle of a busy stressful day, try taking a break to actually slow down. Tell yourself, that you are going to commit to taking at least 5 to 10 minutes of everyday, sitting somewhere in a natural setting. Does the thought of doing this actually create more stress? “OMG, if I take a break I will not get everything done!” I think it’s a bit ironic when we realize that the thought of trying to take some time for self-care, actually creates more stress. I am sure that most of you have heard this advice before, but how many of you actually take the time to slow down and do the things that revitalize and rejuvenate? Sure, you might come home after a busy day and watch some TV or scroll through your Facebook or Instagram feed, but do these activities truly help you to relax, or are they simply distractions, there to keep you occupied until you are tired enough and ready to crash for the night?

As a Nature Connection Mentor, I essentially see myself as facilitating a deeper connection between you & Mother Nature. I take this work quite seriously. I do not see this as a one way street, where we simply take and give nothing in return. I believe that Nature needs and benefits from our Presence, just as much as we need and benefit from Nature’s’ Presence. When we become more mindful with nature, nature becomes more mindful with us. On an even deeper level, I believe that Mother Earth, otherwise known as Gaia or Pachamama, is a living conscious Being possessing a Profound Caring Wisdom.

All of our efforts to be environmentally sustainable must be rooted in a greater appreciation of our Relationship with Mother Earth. Mother Earth wants to give you her medicine but in order to do this you must be in Right Relationship with her. All of our efforts toward sustainability will be subtly flawed until this relationship is firmly established.

Deepen Your Roots – Realize that You a part of something Truly Magnificent

All Elemental Magick Holistic Adventures incorporate specific activities helping you to connect with the natural world as a part of it, rather than being separate from it. This facilitates a greater sense of being grounded or interconnected to something much greater than the self alone.

“We all think that we know how to look at nature. We think that we look at the trees, the flowers, and the rocks. We feel that we look. We feel that as we have eyes, we look. But there is something in the looking and in the relationship that you are talking about, which obviously is not the looking we are used to. How do you look at nature? Do you look at it only with your eyes? Is the perception of the long evening shadows and the very small shadow of the midday sun merely a visual perception? That is, do you look at them with your whole Being, with all your senses? How do you look at all this? How do you perceive all this? Do you perceive it as though it was something outside you or as something of which you are a part?”
