Think about the number of times you have said "It's a beautiful day.... I should go outside," and you don't go. Do you wonder what you are missing? Eco coaching can help you develop a meaningful relationship to the outdoors so you will want to go outside. Imagine exeriencing the outdoors as a partner or ally in your life.... a place you could turn that holds no judgment, time constraints, demands or needs.... a place you can be and gain insight into your own life difficulties....a peaceful place that offers only peace and hope.
Nature can help you see again....
help you 'know' again

WITH ECO COACHING.....
GAIN
More trust in your Self
- Learn to trust your perceptions in nature with less doubt and without critical judgment. Experience how this can translate into your daily life.
Clarity of your Life's Purpose
- An exercise adapted from Native American practices specifically asks "who am I,"
and "what am I doing here?" Building on elements from week to week, you will be taught how to "wait" for and "know" your answers.
Resolution of life issues
Have you ever had something on your mind and then dreamed a solution, or turned on the TV to have the solution revealed to you in a show? Well, nature is another source of answers for you. Learn how to be open to and trust in feedback from nature, and apply this to your life.
Co-creating your life in harmony with nature's rhythms
Ancient people always "knew" how and when to hunt, plant, harvest, travel, etc. based on well known cues from nature. It is their success with this knowledge that allows our species to exist to this day. Learn the energetic cycles of the moon and seasons and how they can support your own energy and momentum to achieve your goals.
A sharpening of your intuition
- We are aware of our natural intuition the moment we tune in to ourselves while side stepping our logical, linear, and often judgmental mind. Being deeply connected
to nature makes accessing our intuition natural-- something our ancestors have known for millions of years, and we've only most recently "forgotten."
Gratitude and peace of mind
- When we can begin to see and communicate with objects in nature as "other beings" we begin to feel that we are part of a bigger oneness with all things. Vague fears melt away,
and in their place comes a sense of gratitude, serenity and awe.
