Regardless of how much time you already spend in nature.
Even if you live in the city.
Even if you work full time.
Even if you're not so good at meditation.
Even if you’re struggling with climate grief.
Even when you have to stay in bed.
Or find yourself in a hospital.
Or in a prison. Of any sort.
This method changed my life.
As a new mother, I gained heightened sensitivity to the overwhelm that was normalized around me, and now, my baby. I refused to accept that profound peace was to be relegated to the occasional meditation retreat.
So, I went on a transformative journey to fill our everyday life with nature-infused calm. I started weaving together three main threads of my life: many occasions since childhood to learn from Indigenous elders; 20+ years of study with the Dalai Lama and nature retreats with Thich Nhat Hanh; and my work as a filmmaker of award-winning projects focused on nature and spirituality.
With easier and more regular access to my peaceful grounded presence, I became more able to:
- feel a whole lot better,
- become the mama I had dreamed of being,
- repair precious relationships,
- build meaningful community,
- align my work with my purpose,
- strengthen my intuition,
- express myself more creatively,
- show up for the Earth in significant ways,
- and so much more.
This was the origin of the Calm by Nature method, which I have since taught as a class at Stanford University, and shared in workshops and retreats for the United Nations, the Dalai Lama Fellows and hundreds of Earth Lovers from around the world.
A unique, cross-cultural, multi-disciplinary approach.
Inspired by a tiny colibrí.
The hummingbird showed me that I didn't have to leave my life behind to have access to my peaceful grounded presence.
I could just open my door and take regular, soul-satisfying sips of nature wherever I am.
That's precisely why the Calm by Nature method consists of just 25-minutes of practice per day.
Ideal for you, if
-
as a child, you were able to find peace with a nature friend– maybe an animal who lived close by, or a tree you loved to climb, or a beach you could swim in for hours – despite the chaos of life.
- you have a knowing, that life is meant to be lived in a more nature-centered way - grounded like earth, in flow like water, passionately like fire, clear like air and full of possibility like space.
- you are committed to nurturing and embodying your inherent natural peace so you may become a source of greater healing for yourself, your loved ones and our Earth.
The guarantee.
Achieve deep calm and peace within 3 weeks, or your money back.
With a 98% success rate, we stand by our promise.
If you follow the program, show your work, and let us know when you get stuck, in 3 weeks, you will be able to access, experience and radiate nature-infused, invigorating calm every single day.
A proven process.
You join the program as an Earth Lover, who enjoys spending time outdoors, but who may be feeling out of sorts. You emerge as an Earth Collaborator, who intentionally partners with nature to regularly nourish your inner calm.
We progress along this journey by consciously deepening our relationship with the Earth.
❀ MODULE 1: Inviting Nature into Our Inner Circle
Move from simply being outdoors to feeling an intimate connection with nature woven into your everyday life, discovering peace without needing to change your routine.
❀ MODULE 2: Grounding in Our Life-Enriching Lineage
Transform what may be a distant or heavy relationship with your ancestry into one that feels nourishing, supportive, and full of encouragement.
❀ MODULE 3: Clearing the Turbulence
Shift from feeling confused and unsettled by life’s chaos to co-creating with nature a calm, clear space within yourself, fostering relaxation and courageous clarity.
What if I'm ready for more?
After the first month, if you would like to continue, you will have the opportunity to strengthen your inner peace with 3 additional modules of more advanced foundational practices. These also include 25 minutes of daily guided practice:
❀ MODULE 4: Dissolving Loneliness
Dissolve the weight of loneliness and reclaim a deep sense of belonging, feeling connected to life in a profound way.
❀ MODULE 5: Responding Consciously
Go from being drained by conflicts, obsessions and co-dependencies to confidently responding to situations from a place of grounded peace and spaciousness.
❀ MODULE 6: Experiencing the Earth’s Love
Experience a transformation from one-sided love for the Earth into a sacred, reciprocal relationship, where you not only experience your love for nature, but you also deeply feel the Earth’s love flowing back to you.
Anything else?
If you're looking for even more - with a solid foundation in place, on your third month, you will gain access to our:
- International community of Earth Collaborators: our online community of people who have completed the Calm by Nature - Practice Foundations.
- New Moon and Full moon gatherings: live online Zoom sharing circles to support the growth of your nature-infused calm and to make new like-minded friends.
