Mother Nature: A day-long mentoring intensive
|
This nature retreat is intended to offer deep grounding into Mother Nature as your guide and ally in mothering your family. This retreat day focuses on aligning you with the natural world as a support system and a source of direction when things get wild.
The hardest part of parenting gently in a harsh world is that we are going against the grain. We are intentionally choosing a different path than most, and it takes extra energy to hold onto our vision in the face of something that demands conformity. It's like being the one who stands up against the bully... it's right, but it is so very hard to do. Having strong roots in the natural world and a way to tend to our relationship with Earth holds us steady. Having a foundation that can help us get back on track when we are inevitably stretched too thin to hold our own vision is crucial. |
This is a one day intensive, either in person or on zoom. We immerse ourselves in nature together, and explore how nature can provide reflection and guidance.
I create an altar to hold the energy of our time together. We will work together to develop an inquiry for you to take into nature. I'll guide you through interpreting your experience and I'll show you a method for anchoring this guidance into your everyday life.
We will also have a follow up integration call approximately two weeks after your retreat to continue to pull the threads of what you learned from nature into your lived experience.
