The Wild Nature Heart Challenge: A Season Of Deepening is a Self-paced mini-adventure with 25+ earth-rooted practices and accompanying poems to guide you into reconnecting and deepening your connection with the inner and outer wild.

Off the Rails

The journey from the dominant culture to exciting and meandering alternative paths to our own authentic and sovereign path. As we each individually step off the rails and into our uniqueness and wholeness, we are co-creating the new paradigms needed for The Great Turning.

Bless You Beautiful Artisan

This is for all you creative and courageous wild ones bringing your big heart, your beautiful gifts, and your embodied soul into the world that desperately needs you.

❤️THE ESSENCE OF ROMANCE – PART 1

A core orientation towards the world when living open and from our wholeness is a romantic one. It is inherently sensual, perhaps even erotic, in the sense of Eros—bringing our passionate love and deep imagination and curiosity to everyone (including every other-than-human sentient being) we meet.

THE TREASURE AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH BREATH

The sun setting can be a daily practice for letting go of things that we are still holding onto too tightly.

HUNTING/HIDING OUR WHOLENESS

Sunday’s Full Moon Hike was absolutely fantastic and powerful. After a sacred pause in silence with the moon shimmering in the waters of the bay and a couple earth poems, eight of us up on the rock immersed ourselves in a discussion on the theme this month: Hunting Our Wholeness.

ENDLESSLY BRILLIANT WILD RESILIENCY

We’ve held a few gatherings now called Ecogrief Healing Circles: Honoring Our Pain and Resiliency (now monthly in Humboldt, and soon an Online Circle), and it is clear: there is a dire need for these gatherings. But another thing is equally clear: this isn’t just about ecogrief, the pain and fear we feel, this is about love and connection. It’s about reclaiming our birthright as humans, which is community, which is joy/awe/pleasure in nature’s beauty and abundance and all that life has to offer, which is our natural Wild Resiliency.

Equinox Blessings: Embracing the Season

I have to admit, autumn is my favorite season. But I may say that at the beginning of every season. 🙂 I wasn’t always like that, I would often resist the changing of seasons in various subtle ways inside. Perhaps it was a reflection… Continue Reading “Equinox Blessings: Embracing the Season”

Ecogrief Circles: Honoring Our Pain and Resiliency in the Era of Climate Crisis

How nourishing to witness and be witnessed in our difficult (and joyful) emotions in circle and ritual, cultivating earth community, and sharing ways of taking care of ourselves and engaging in empowering action.

We Hurt Because We Love and Belong

Pain, grief, and other sometimes difficult emotions are part of the Earth’s feedback mechanism. And Grief was always meant to held in community.

Solo Wilderness Rite-of-Passage

He crossed the threshold and returned with story and an alignment with his truths.

TENDER BEAUTY OF THE BREAKDOWN

Tomorrow I head out on the mountain to guide a 4-day solo wilderness rite-of-passage ceremony for someone. I’m reminded of some poetry that came through me during my first wilderness fast, that may now be medicine for others going on the sacred mountain to mark a transition, to claim their truth, to release the old, and live into their new aliveness.

Opening to the Mystery of the East

It was the final session before his solo wilderness rite-of-passage ceremony next week. But for now, we were in a redwood and bay forest along a creek and Opening to the East.

TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT OUR PAIN

Then we told the hard truth—about the state of the world, about the state of our emotions.

Allying with Nature’s Wisdom

Conversations with wild nature. Leading with our noses.

Return to the Moon, Return to Self

Last night a group of about 10 of us gathered to slow down and re-connect to nature, our inner voice, and each other. A sacred pause with the moon.

SIMPLICITY?

Today is National Simplicity Day, celebrating Henry David Thoreau and advocating simple living close to nature. But it has me wondering what simplicity could possibly look like in today’s fast-jet, multi-tasked, overbooked, commodified, insta-world.

INNER WILDERNESS WORK

I love the work I do! I just finished another 2-hour Earth-rooted mentoring session with a new client. It is such an honor to be able to help provide a safe container for Whole Self exploration and witness the soul journey as people come into deeper belonging to themselves and nature.
