Wild Nature Heart
Journeys Into Reconnection
“The world was made to be free in. Give up all the other worlds except the one to which you belong. Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.” – David Whyte, Sweet Darkness
“If we surrendered
to earth’s intelligence
we could rise up rooted, like trees.” -Rumi

🌞 Summer Solstice Blessings! By cultivating deeper and meaningful connections with the cycles of nature we ground ourselves and become more at home in our true belonging. These seasonal thresholds are great invitations for connecting authentically with our own body, soul, and rhythms—
Recharge, reconnect, rebalance.

Katie was caught living out loud with her wild nature heart. “If you ask me what I came into this life to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud. - Émile Zola

Couldn’t resist sharing this #wildnatureheart from @forestchurchyyc ・・・
Creative change begins in the heart.
When we start within ourselves and move outward, expressing what we love and what we value, life gets better, we feel better, and the world gets healthier too. ~ Julia Cameron

Why the wild?
We embrace wild nature to not abandon ourselves.
We go to listen.
We go to remember.
There we can hear without distraction—Without the million and one voices of the world that want us to be
and do things their way.
•
We can hear the true things
at the center of our selves,
the deepest whisperings,
the ways in which we show up
with either fear or love.
•
Wild nature is our most ancient place of belonging. It is us.
We are one facet of the great wild expression.
That is why it can be a clear and powerful mirror for the movements of our psyche.
•
Whenever there is too much: grief, busy-ness, confusion, unknowing, anxiety, distraction, pain…
we can go into the wild
and there find the answers within
and all the juicier questions.
•
And we go to celebrate,
to play with joy amidst the beauty of our natural world,
to have that love affair with the bigger, more-than-human world.
There we access the deeper breaths,
the richer dreams,
the soft and strong animal of our creature bodies,
and the natural eros that permeates ourselves and the world.
•
It is where we can find more clearly
the wisdom of the psyche
and the wisdom of the body
having that conversation with the wider intelligence of the world.
We step into our fullest selves
and wildness meets us fully in return.
