Conversations With Nature™

Learn HOW to hear Nature by connecting with your inner Nature.

In this series of 4 education resources in the form of self-paced online courses you will get the basics of HOW to have Conversations With Nature.
This is the foundation of all the work I offer, this is the starting point and what I imagine we would know by the time we are 5 years old if we lived in a Nature-based culture. Instead most of these skills we have been rewarded to forget.

They are designed in a linear sequence; Senses > Permission > Attraction > Stories

1. Senses

Beyond the traditional five; Why understanding the vastness of your senses is essential to listening to Land.

2. Permissom

Permission-getting is a great equalizer, it honours the autonomy of the other. There can't be healthy relationship without permission. Without this piece we won't be able to converse with nature.

As a part of Nature, learn to understand when we are being communicated with: being communicatee, instead of communicator. Attractions are Nature's Voice – communicating with us, drawing us in.

3. Attraction

4. Stories

A captivating journey into the exploration of how stories can shape our understanding of Nature and ourselves. Stories will affect what we see and how we see, interact, and build relationships.

If you are a Yoga Practitioner there's a Yoga version of Conversations With Nature that explores this same learning but from a Yoga practice paradigm (and it counts for CE with Yoga Alliance). We dig into Pratyahara and why we need to connect not withdraw our senses and why Nature was originally part of the practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

The courses are outside of my price range, is there some way I can still do them?

I've been there - not truly being able to afford something that I feel called to doing. So the question for me is - would you have to give up to be able to pay for these courses?

Is it extras (like cigarettes, clothes, netflix)? Then we can set up a payment scheduled. Ex: 4 instalments.

Is it necessities (like groceries, rent, etc) ? If so, then please reach out to me and we can come to some arrangement. In the past I have done trades, partial scholarships, and discounted prices. It's unique for each situation.

How long are the courses?

While the courses vary in length, each one of the 4 can be done within 10 days, if you were to do an hour a day. Some take a little less. It's taken me years to distill the most important aspects of this work down to make it easier, simpler, and more accessible.

We're all busy. So I wanted to make sure it was easy to finish.

Work in Process

Conversations With Nature™ is the beginning piece in a much bigger topic. Often, after finishing, Conversations With Nature™ I get asked "what comes next" - and my answer is, it's in the works. My colleague, Dr. Leslie Whitcomb and I are working on a book and course that weaves in the below topics (and more).

How do we step out of the repeating patterns and dynamics that keep us feeling disconnected and unsafe. What do we do when we are the trespassers.

Dissolving Dynamics

How to Respect & Be Respected

How can we know HOW TO be respectful without ever having felt respected.
