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.

In this month’s meditation series, we are exploring “How to Grow” – either externally as in a job promotion, growing a family, etc. – or internally, as in your personal growth as a being on this planet…
How to Grow {part 1 of 3}
Grow is the word I chose for my 2019 intention, and as I started working with this word, what arrived was to rest more, savor more and laugh more. Not items I would typically associate with growth, but as I explore these individual ideas, the ways they support growth became evident quickly.
Difficulty and Self-Compassion
In today’s practice, I am sharing a bit of my own personal practice of self-compassion as a final wrap-up to our month of being At Home In The Heart. The work of self-compassion is integral to our practice of mindfulness and hugely important for the difficult moments –
At Home in the Heart {part 3 of 3}
This month, our meditation series has worked on arriving home in the heart. Week one, we focused on the simplicity of claiming our hearts as a rightful home. Not just for yoga gurus and earthy-hippie types, all of us intrinsically know our hearts as home. How easily we forget though…
