CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENT
In Communion with Nature
Natura Gratia—“The Grace of Nature”—speaks to the quiet, powerful intelligence that reveals itself when we slow down and enter into relationship with the living world.
In a time when many feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or uprooted, nature offers a pathway back to wholeness. Research shows that awe, connection, and relational presence with the more-than-human world enhance emotional well-being, nervous system regulation, and a restored sense of belonging.
Our 500-Hour Nature-Based Therapeutics Program helps you shift from simply being in nature to being with nature—listening, responding, and co-creating with the land, waters, plants, and animals that share your world.
Through embodied practices like forest immersion, sensory attunement, breathwork, coherence practices, and relational ecology, you will begin to perceive nature not as scenery—but as a teacher, partner, and active participant in your healing.
This program deepens your capacity for presence, intuition, and eco-leadership. You’ll learn to regulate your system through nature-based modalities, strengthen your inner awareness, and cultivate a reciprocal relationship with the Earth.
Supported by a dedicated community, mentorship, and a carefully guided learning journey, you will explore new ways of belonging and co-creating with a world that is alive, responsive, and always communicating.
My work is loving the world.
Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird - equal seekers of sweetness.
