Hello friend! I'm happy you're passing by. Come on over and help yourself to some sun tea.
It's a perfect summer day, a lazy free day with nowhere to go and nothing to do.
Listen to the constant hum of the cicadas and the groups of cheerful goldfinches who keep flying overhead.
The air smells sweet and you feel a delicious soft breeze as clouds drift through the sky.
The gentle rocking of the swing soothes your vestibular system and all feels right in the world.

I've created this special invitation because I want to practice "The Art of Questioning," which is one of the most important skills for a Nature Connection Mentor.
You can learn a lot about nature from workshops, webinars, and large-group lectures. But you also need to take a deep breath, step back, and process what you've already learned from your own observations and experiences. There is so much learning, connection, and wisdom already inside you. Like film, it just needs to be developed. On the journey to Deep Nature Connection, you're already exactly where you need to be.
To develop the "film" of your experience, rather than listening to more instructors, you need someone to listen to you: to deeply absorb your stories, and then ask questions that help expand the edges of your awareness. These questions aren't to quiz you or test your knowledge, but will come from the genuine curiosity of a co-explorer and guide. Some of the lines of questioning will be things I want to steer your perceptions toward, like a trail of breadcrumbs of awareness. And some will be things that I don't know and I'm wondering about too.
In our chat, we'll uncover threads of connection between the plants and animals and landscapes around you, as well as your own mind and heart. I'll lead you toward your next steps in developing a sense of place and relationship with the land.
My hope is that you'll come away feeling deeply listened to, profoundly heard and understood, like you do after talking with one of your best friends; and with questions that will marinate in your being for weeks and months to come.
How it Works
Click here to sign up! Then, I'll send you a zoom link. Or if you're local to CNY, we could me up IRL instead.
When we meet, have a recent nature experience in mind to share. If you happen to have a nature journal entry about it, bring that too, but it's not necessary for you to be a nature journaler for this.
~A Friendly Disclaimer ~
As you may know, I have a chronic illness and it can be hard to predict my energy levels or moods in advance. On your chosen call time, I can't necessarily guarantee whether I'll be feeling energetic or tired, happy or sad that day. But I want to practice being more "human" in my business and showing up anyway. Either way, you'll get my undivided attention and compassionate curiosity for a full 30 minutes. We don't only exist in relationship with other people when we're at 100%, at our "best" and most polished "professional" state. We exist all the time, and we all have a need to connect with other people no matter what our internal weather looks like that day.
