Most people that know me do not realize that overcoming profound childhood abuse has motivated much of my personal development, spiritual life, and work. Cultivating my spirituality in nature has been a pivotal piece of my journey toward healing. Years of meditation in nature eventually brought me to a direct experience of Earth’s subtle energy realms. It is my belief—based on extensive study—that all people can experience and work in these subtle energy realms. Re-learning to utilize these natural human senses helps us reclaim our connection with the “magical” beauty in the world. This re-alignment helps us resolve the “dis-eases” caused by living in our techno-industrial culture.

In this workshop, I will teach methods to experience and work with energy systems in our own bodies and in nature.  We will work with developing awareness of patterns in our energy bodies, and then explore methods for interacting with elemental energies in nature.

The goal of this work is learning to heal our own lives, and the world. Since we are one with the world and the cosmos, working to heal the world heals us, and healing ourselves heals the world. While this may seem like too complex a web of connection to impact our lives right now, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Powerful healing for Earth and ourselves can come from the simplest of practices. While these practices require mindfulness to maintain, they are easy to learn and incorporate into everyday life.
