Calm by Nature.
 

Some people say that nature is part calm and part turbulent tempest.

Yin Yang.  Just like us.

But my experience is that when thriving, nature is primarily peaceful – with rare moments of pressure release.

In this way, the Earth offers us a clear mirror for what our best lives can look like.  As we pay attention, she reminds us that, like her, when we thrive, we are calm by nature.

Not sleepy calm, nor boring calm, nor out-of-touch calm.

Calm in the sense that we can relax enough to let the unbridled flow of life run through us, so that – especially in these painful times – our lives and our work may become instruments of more resonant beauty and healing – for ourselves, our communities and our Earth.

Thank you for being here.

I look forward to knowing you.

A bit about me

I'm Natasha – mama, documentary filmmaker and nature practice guide.  Through my work I help Earth lovers awaken their inherent calm in collaboration with nature.

Originally from Caracas, Venezuela, my perspective is infused with 20 years of study with the Dalai Lama, nature retreats with Thich Nhat Hanh, and learning from Indigenous wisdom keepers and some of the great naturalists of our time. 

You can let me know here if you'd like to receive my occasional compilation of things keeping me close to nature.

Here's the link to connect on Instagram.

And here are some of the places my work has been featured.

much love,

Who's Rosa Guayaba?

Rosa Guayaba is the particular color of a ripe guava fruit. You say "dusty pink". I say "rosa guayaba." Saying those words connects me not only to a favorite color and a treasured taste of my beloved Venezuela. Rosa Guayaba is gratitude for the immeasurable gifts the Earth offers us each day. Rosa Guayaba is the scent carried by the breeze, reminding us of who we are and what we are here for. Rosa Guayaba is reverence for nature and for all that is sacred.  

This is what I look forward to helping you stay close to.

@rosa.guayaba started as my Instagram handle, as a way of exploring this new thread as it wove itself into life and acknowledge that it was not coming from me, but rather though me from what I experience as the most generous flow.

Along the way, some people have started calling me Rosa, which I didn't expect, yet it makes me smile inside. 

Would you like to contact me? 

I look forward to hearing from you.
