A Threshold Moment
I don’t think we have really grappled with the fact that the world is not what it was. We are in a new landscape. A threshold moment. We are in a revolutionary moment. A #composteverydamnthing moment. Things are afoot. Empire is dissolving. The emperor wears no… Continue Reading “A Threshold Moment”
MORNING DEW: HOLY WATER
These days I rarely start the day without being 61% salt-water by volume. I rarely start heating the water (from the mountain spring) for my forest fresh tip tea without my body being 99% H20 by molecular count. I see these morning dew drops… Continue Reading “MORNING DEW: HOLY WATER”
Honoring the Season
Moments like equinox and solstice are great markers of transition from one season to another; yet we know the energies of transformation are always afoot, wearing different garbs and guises. There’s the change we want. And there’s the change we don’t. Regardless, change IS. Sometimes… Continue Reading “Honoring the Season”
The Beautiful Undammed
“That’s still the water that runs through my veins.”—Mike Polmateer, Karuk One of the many regenerative stories that has captivated me and feels like a bright ray of hope is the undamming of Rivers. The undamming of the Klamath River is one that deserves… Continue Reading “The Beautiful Undammed”
THRESHOLD: UNRELENTING MYSTERY
Intention can be an important part of crossing the threshold during a wilderness rite-of-passage, life change, or any liminal transition, including our current collective initiation. My way of holding intention and threshold has shapeshifted over the years. Intention is not a goal. It’s good… Continue Reading “THRESHOLD: UNRELENTING MYSTERY”
EARTH INTIMACIES
And when Grasshopper flies into your heart
their green gears grin
at all your precious purities.
You find yourself
no longer fearing
the depths of entangled love
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.
Falling Off the Map: an Invitation
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”
THE BIG RHYTHM HOLDS IT ALL
Winter Solstice blessings! May we relish deep rest and be nourished by the slow gift of fruitful darkness, wooing and embracing the dark parts of us into the circle of Self ⭕️. May we nurture the inner fire on our darkest nights. May we… Continue Reading “THE BIG RHYTHM HOLDS IT ALL”
Wild Nature Heart October Update
Dear Wild Nature Hearts, A few days ago, I woke up feeling overwhelmed. I sensed my imagination waning. Perhaps you can relate to that sensation of constriction that can arise when you’ve been digesting too much about climate catastrophes, shameless capitalist exploitation and commodification,… Continue Reading “Wild Nature Heart October Update”
DON’T FORGET THE SMALLS
Don’t forget the Smalls in your basket of Whos Don’t forget the smells when you’re looking for clues Don’t forget your nose when you’re searching for hints Don’t forget the sense of all of the scents Don’t forget your ear, to put to the… Continue Reading “DON’T FORGET THE SMALLS”

AT THE TRAILHEAD
The trailhead is such a magnificent moment, carrying its own species of energy. It is a threshold of sorts—the threshold into the unknown. A crossing from one world to another. An excitement and curiosity runs the blood hot regardless of the weather. What beauties… Continue Reading “AT THE TRAILHEAD”

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.
