the journey into nature
I believe that all humans possess the capacity for connection and wonder.
It is easy to become disconnected from these qualities, but we can also find our way back.
Having time and space to be in nature will preserve our inherent sense of wonder. Remembering how to engage with the natural world around us can bring us back to ourselves if we’ve lost our way. We do this by putting our bare feet back upon the earth, swimming in rivers, learning the names of the plants, animals, rivers, and mountains, letting our eyes absorb natural sunlight, tuning into the seasons, and eating local foods.
the journey into self
Raising our awareness to the deep understanding of ourselves is another way to connect with wonder.
When we turn inward and make space for understanding our own feelings and experience, we find connection to the deepest parts of our beings. We learn how our bodies work and relate to the outside world, how our experiences have shaped our perceptions, and how to show up with kindness and strength for ourselves and others.
the path of awe
The School of Earth and Awe holds as its core purpose to help people of all ages connect, reconnect and stay connected to their inherent sense of wonder. (rebuild and reinforce our inherent sense of wonder) We hold spaces for people to orient themselves in this way through remembering relationship with the natural world, and remembering relationship with our own beings.
