Meditation isn’t about forcing your mind to be quiet.
It’s about learning to meet your thoughts with a little more patience.
Notice the thought.
Take a breath.
Come back to the present.
One moment at a time. 🌿

Because skincare can be more than products and routines.

CULTIVATING A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WILD

Dear Wild One;

I invite you to join me for 30 days of inspiration for reWilding yourself with the rhythms of nature.

Learn to enjoy exploring the forest

For 30 days you will receive inspirations and gentle, exploratory prompts in your inbox to take with you on forest wanders and nature explorations, and on days you just want to dream inside there will be poems, meditations, sounds and other inspirations to cultivate gently tuning into the season. Based on contemplative practices, learn to listen to whispers between your soul and the nature around you.

These missives will be brief and are truly meant to be prompts for you to re-wild and step into your relationship with nature.

These are the practices I have used to cultivate my relationship with the forest and all of nature, to be able to enjoy the wonder and awe, and find a deep sense of inner connection and peace. Nature has become my guide, my teacher, my healer, a place where I can return to my heart, my peace and my sanity, time and again. It is a relationship that builds over time and is ever-giving more. Bring something different to your usual hikes with these beautiful prompts delivered to your email daily.

In this 30-day journey, you go to nature daily or every other day or once a week for 30 minutes or more, or spend some time writing, reading or contemplating the season of summer, the Fire Phase and understanding the qualities and energetics of this vibrant, expressive, connective time. On the days you are unable to go to nature, perhaps you can read the offering and spend ten minutes writing in your journal in response to it or another and save it for your adventure out.

My hope is that you will eventually see the value of cultivating a relationship with Nature as an enrichment of your wellbeing. It will nourish you on so many levels; it will nourish your connection to your heart of hearts' soul, it will nourish your body through breaths of fresh air, energetic resets, and boost your immune system, it will clear your mind, clear anxiety and stress, allowing you to think clearly and compassionately.

Open up to the beauty and wonder of this yang time of the year when all is in bloom and expressing the utmost vitality of life. Nature is medicine, Nature is a Master Teacher, and in this journey, we will connect with the teachings offered through curiosity, contemplative photography (any camera will do!), creative writing, meditation, and playfulness, infused with inspiring writings that celebrate the poetry, awe, and science of the whole of nature. You don't have to finish it all in the month; you can space it out as suits your
lifestyle.

Growth was never meant to be rushed.

Trees express differently in each season. Rivers flow on the path of least resistance.

The earth doesn't bloom all year and neither should we.
The most meaningful transformation happens through patience, presence, and consistency.

Every small step you take today is quietly becoming the foundation of who you're meant to be.

If you're feeling called to slow down, reconnect with nature, and cultivate a more aligned way of living, the 12-Month Study & Cultivation of Earth-Based Living Wisdom offers a year of seasonal guidance, mentorship, and community to support your journey.

✨ Your growth is allowed to unfold in its own time.

I have been digesting and metabolizing the idea of nature's baseline: when left to its natural order, it is to flourish and what it would take for humanity to flourish. Not just a few, but as a collective whole.

As a collective, it seems like we have been surviving, striving for thriving, and very few would claim to be flourishing.

What would it look like to set our sights on the flourishing of people, flourishing communities, and flourishing ecosystems? What would that actually mean?

What if we stepped away from our dominant culture perspective of consuming and shifted it to flourishing?

We would first have to have a deep, integrated understanding of what that looks like.

Perhaps we imagine a life that looks successful from the outside. Enough money. Good health. Meaningful work. Loving relationships. A sense that things are going well.

These things matter. But I think flourishing reaches deeper. And many Earth-based spiritual, indigenous and animistic cultures have the embodied understanding that flourishing includes so much more than ourselves and our immediate family.

To shift to flourishing, we will need to shift our perspective to respectful relationship with all of life.
