UPCOMING WILD NATURE HEART PROGRAMS

In addition to offering evergreen earth-rooted mentoring and ecotherapy, and custom wilderness rite-of-passage ceremony, I’m thrilled to be able to offer a basketful of programs in the next few months. Deep Belonging in the Great Turning (starting tomorrow, Wednesday) was Wild Nature Heart’s first flagship course, foundational deepening in our earth-connectedness and supporting your next, aligned steps. Autumn’s first Write Your Wild River was so sweet, fun, and creative that I’m already eager for the two cohorts that start in March. The next round of Threshold: Earth Intimacies, starting March 7, will be the third round, this time adding new more-than-human kin with whom we will apprentice, an exploration of soundscapes and scent-scapes, and a new session on being what I’m calling “Emergence Aware”, the mirror of being ‘Collapse Aware.’ Finally, I’m also in the midst of creating something I’m calling Becoming Beautiful Barbarians, a community of practice and inquiry igniting imagination for composting and dreaming beyond Empire, with a mid-2025 launch.

DEEP BELONGING IN THE GREAT TURNING (7 Wednesdays beginning January 15)
A 7-week experience for people hearing the call to cultivate their ecospirituality, deepen their journey beyond inherited scripts, and practice belonging to pace, place, and purpose as we intentionally meet this collective initiation of intersecting ecological/social crises and opportunity.

We explore what I call the seven Ps of Belonging (Place, Pace, People, Purpose, Pain, Pleasure, and Possibility). For example, how do we divest from the Colonial Clock and re-connect more deeply to natural cycles (season, moon, sun, deep time) and to the pace of the body? How can we think of our wild purpose ecologically, as a niche in the ecosystem of repair? How to we both not turn away from the wounds of the world, while also allowing our pleasure to be liberatory?

💦 WRITE YOUR WILD RIVER: A 6-WEEK CREATIVE WRITING & NATURE CONNECTION JOURNEY (Two options: Mondays beginning March 3 or Saturdays beginning March 22)
This 6-week workshop explores the play/craft of creative writing through an embodied, earth-centered, liberatory lens, and simultaneously, explore our embodied, earthy, multi-faceted selves through the exploration of poetry. (Find out More HERE)

🦋THRESHOLD: EARTH INTIMACIES & THE GREAT TURNING (7-week course – Fridays beginning March 7)
THRESHOLD is a 7-week interactive course dedicated to tending both our personal and collective thresholds with intention and heart. With the images of threshold crossing and caterpillar-to-butterfly transformation as guiding metaphors, we will deepen our eco intimacies by tending sacred relationships with the other-than-human world, practice new listenings and honoring longings, and proliferate imaginal buds for what is emerging in this Great Turning.
