Love nature.
Stay close to nature. 
It will never fail you.

Cultivate its wisdom

Let it expand and thrive.

and reveal new path to wellness and joy.

Have you thought about where you came from?


A million years of our prehistory spent wired into the world and meshed within its elaborate ecological communities, and then, suddenly, in a mere sliver of time: a world of fences and constructs and artifacts to keep out weather, weeds, and wolves.

But what if the full development of our humanness depends on contact with a nonhuman world?

What if animals inform our cries and gestures, birds give wings to thought, lightning offers fire, beavers building techniques, the wind and rain and stars their worlds of meaning and image and myth?

How can we mature organically if we grow up in a mechanical and abstract world so largely of our own making, so much of it devoid of the plant and animal and mineral presences that nourished our ancestors so intimately?

Deeply connecting to Nature helps us develop greater respect for all things, and brings us into harmonious balance with all of the universe. Our reward is enhanced wellness in essential life area – work, relationships, and creativity.
