Co-Weaving Words Beyond Empire
Something we do in some of the Wild Nature Heart classes is an activity called Co-Weaving Words: collect a handful of resonant words/phrases from each participant then create collective poems from this basket of words, using mostly only these words, like ingredients in a… Continue Reading “Co-Weaving Words Beyond Empire”
Earth Intimacies: Apprenticing to Life
Often when we hear the word intimacy, we think romance. At the very least we think about humans. But what if intimacy with Earth was not only possible, but necessary for co-creating the world we want to inhabit and bequeath to future generations?

Within the Cave Something Pulses – Poetry and Program
What if we allied ourselves to the energies of the season? What if we dove into the silent dark and welcomed the wholeness of who we are? What labyrinth wisdoms await? What dreams are fires in the dark? What if our shadow was an… Continue Reading “Within the Cave Something Pulses – Poetry and Program”
THRESHOLD: UNRELENTING MYSTERY

NEW: THRESHOLD: Earth Intimacies & the Art of Transformation
I’m both tickled like a butterfly and hungry like a caterpillar for Wild Nature Heart’s new course/journey starting next month.
THRESHOLD: Earth Intimacies and the Art of Transformation is a 6-week course journey 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 ecospiritual practices, practice being present with the whole of what is at our doorstep, and proliferate imaginal buds for what is emerging.

I’m both excited and curious about Wild Nature Heart’s new course container starting next month. Falling Off the Map is premised on the sneaking suspicion that we’ve exhausted the exhausting maps we’re caught in. That we are being invited to fall through inherited maps… Continue Reading “Falling Off the Map: an Invitation”

10 spring Poppies for Approaching Ecotherapy
When invited to teach an upcoming Ecotherapy course, I realized that something beyond more knowledge or even skills, as commonly understood, is required. Something in me balked at overly-academicizing it, and felt that all-too-familiar intellect taking over, alienating my body, heart, and soul. So these are some spring wild poppies and prickly cacti that emerged through the soil:
