Do you sometimes find yourself caught in a mechanical routine, realize that you’ve fallen asleep at the wheel of your day-to-day life? Or do you just have the feeling that the spark of magic hasn’t been present for you lately? No matter how cultivated our relationship with nature is, we all experience the ebb and flow of consciousness in co-creative partnership.
Let’s reconnect-deepen-broaden-explore and share our gifts with our beloved nature!
The ways of connecting with nature are vast and varied. And yet encoded into each of us are the ancient memories of Earth People and the unique gift of human beings- Our Creativity.

Five Live Online Sessions
Session 1
Accessing Creativity through Your Heart with Pam Montgomery
We begin our exploration of connecting creatively with nature by accessing the vast intelligence of our hearts. It is well known that depth perception occurs via the heart especially within the natural world. When we sync our heart rhythms with nature an imaginative brilliance emerges while intuition and ingenuity become familiar traits. We will journey together into heart coherence learning how to access the “Aha moment” where deep communion with nature is possible. This will serve as your foundation for further creative connection with nature.
Session 2
Techniques to Enhance Your Creative Connection with Jen Frey
We continue our journey by learning simple techniques that can profoundly enhance your connection with Nature and usher you into the magical realm of creativity. Experience the world with new eyes as we clear away the limitations that inhibit our connection.
Session 3
The Language of Color with Lillian Edwards
Call to your mind’s eye- The brilliant hues of a glowing sunset, iridescent colors that shimmer across hummingbird feathers, the expansive blue of the ocean, barren wintertime boughs that suddenly burst with pink stone fruit blossoms signaling the arrival of spring, a red mushroom cap peaking its way through a damp brown forest floor, the many textures of green that envelop you on a walk through the woods, a field filled with wildflowers…
This week we explore how Nature communicates through color, and how we, as part of Nature, can remember our fluency in this beautiful conversation. We will come to understand the language of color in the landscape, how color resonates and resides in our own bodies, and of course, play with creative self-expression through colorful art-making.
Session 4
Creativity and Reciprocity with Elyshia Holliday
Our creativity is our contribution to the web of life. It is how we arrange items, put words together, move our hands across looms and brushes across pages, the way we plant, harvest, and prepare- it is the essence of beingness, the breath of our magic, and the alchemy of creativity that we bring to our relationship with nature when our hearts are bare with all that is.
This week we explore the unity of our heart with that of our outdoor relatives. Let’s feel our connection with the elements of Nature and ways that our creativity and gratitude can merge to nourish life. Let’s feel free to take it to the next level, go beyond what we are already doing by infusing our daily lives and acts of gratitude with our spark of creativity.
