Nature-Based Meditations
Our Mindful Nature explores the deep connection between the land and Self through nature-based meditations that invite us back into belonging - to each other, our ancestors, the earth, and all beings that make up this universe.
This podcast features interviews, guided meditations, and collaborations with some of the top nature field recordists of our time. Each episode is created with the goal of fostering connection and resilience in the face of climate crisis. You can expect classes centered on accessible, equitable, communal well-being primarily through nature-based meditations created through the lens of Tantric meditation and Spiritual Ecology.
Now, let’s grab a cup of tea, a comfy seat and settle in for today’s practice.

Ride The Waves
This meditation is 10-minute ocean-side meditation I recorded at sunrise one morning. Simple, sweet & peaceful. It is a great way to start or pause your day! I chat briefly at the beginning to set-up this meditation, if you want to skip right to the meditation, go to 1:00.
