We offer Nature a special place in our course. We have the great privilege to be nestled between a forest and a lake. Natural environments offer opportunity for inspiration, reflection, and replenishment amidst the intensity of communal life. The natural world becomes a regenerative temple — a space where we can slow down, attune, and reconnect with life’s blueprint beyond the social bubble.

Too often, “nature” is spoken of as something outside of ourselves — belonging only to forests, rivers, animals, and minerals. Again and again, we invite participants to practice aligning with life’s blueprint, and in doing so, to remember their own true nature. We are Nature. Humanity is one of its many expressions — the planet walking itself in human form.

Modern societies, however, have long elevated themselves above the natural world, justifying domination through stories of divine right or self proclaimed superior intelligence. Only through such narratives of separation can destructive, life-threatening systems be maintained. Our course is a living practice of remembering who we truly are — an inseparable part of the Earth — and aligning this knowing with who we long to become.
