From Stillness to Soul Work: How a Backyard Meditation Sparked The Nature Nurse Movement

Ten years ago, I began a meditation practice on my back deck. I admit, I was skeptical that sitting with my eyes closed and noticing my breath while repeating a mantra for twenty minutes would do anything.  That is why experiential learning is so important to me.  We don’t truly embrace something unless we know it works for us! 
 
Lo and behold, I began to notice my day started more calmly, I felt more grounded.  Then I began to notice an internal knowing that kept repeating, The Nature Nurse, The Nature Nurse. It was relentless and grew stronger each time I meditated.  And so, I honored the call, not really knowing what I was asked to do, but I founded The Nature Nurse.
 
What started as a website and a blog about nature, grew into a movement that has touched countless number of lives.  Blogs, social media outreach, videos, interviewing and collaborating other nature connected people, articles, podcasts and in person nature connection workshops are just some of the ways The Nature Nurse has responded to the call to connect more deeply with nature and invite others to do the same for our health and the health of the planet.
 
It is with deep gratitude that I say thank you to all those who have engaged, mentored, shared, and supported this journey.  If your new to us, I hope that you will find the work we do of value and that it may help you lead a more joyous, vibrant, awe-inspiring life in harmony with the natural world.
 
As we celebrate a SoulFULL Summer together, maybe you to will hear a whisper, notice an invitation, to do something that you never dreamed possible also.
