❀ As a child, did you easily find peace with your nature friends– 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?
❀ Do 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?
❀ Are you committed to nurturing and embodying your inherent natural peace, so you may become a source of healing for yourself, your loved ones, and our Earth?
If so, this is an invitation to chart a trail map with me for your journey to awakening your inherent, grounded, peaceful presence.
A personalized path to calm.
It's so much easier to get to where you intend to go, with a reliable map.
In this free one-on-one session, I'll draw on what has worked for me and hundreds of Earth Lovers to help you chart your very own map.
You'll walk away with:
- A Clear Picture of the 5 Stages of Calm: I'll walk you through what the journey from «elusive calm» to «calm by default» looks like. You'll see how you're much closer you are to a deeper layer of peace than you can imagine.
- An Understanding of 6 Nature-Centered Strategies for Awakening Inner Peace: There are many ways to deepen your natural calm. These are my favorite strategies and the ones that I have seen work most successfully in my practice.
- Five Essential Skills for Lasting Progress: Learn the key skills that will support you in moving through the stages of calm and deepening your inner peace.
With profound humility and kindness, Natasha gives her students lasting access to their own inner compass by teaching them to connect and work with Nature. After learning with Natasha, I am able to regularly use the new tools she equipped me with - her lessons are inscribed not only in my mind, but also in my spirit. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Natasha, for so beautifully channeling such badly needed love and wisdom to me and to this world. ♥️

Frequently Asked Questions
❀ What's the format of the session?
The Calm by Nature Mapping Session is a free 30-minute, one-on-one online call with me on Zoom.
❀ How can you offer so much in just 30 minutes?
Good question!
When you book your call, I'll send you a few short videos that I recorded to give you context on the stages of calm, the strategies for progressing from one stage to the next and the essential skills that will support you. I'll also send you an illustrated workbook for you to chart your journey as you watch the videos.
That way, when we get on the call, we can focus on you and how to apply the map to your particular situation.
❀ Why do you offer it for free?
The main is reason is because I love to. I have been nourished by each one of these calls.
I enjoy meeting and having meaningful conversations with like-minded people from around the world who are would like to experience more peace in their life.
Also, I'm on a mission to build a powerful, beautiful Coalition of Natural Calm. My teacher Thich Nhat Hanh said, “everyone knows that peace must begin with oneself, but few people know how to do it.” I've been very fortunate to receive decades of instruction on these themes and it's a great honor for me to gift them forward in this way.
Finally, these calls give me an opportunity to share my work in a friendly, no-presuure way for those who are interested in learning how I might guide them in applying the map to their life.
About your guide.
Nature is our teacher. I'm happy to be your guide.
I was raised in Venezuela by the gentle laps of the Caribbean, watching the turquoise water reflected on the bellies of the pelicans. Although, I lived in an apartment in the busy city of Caracas, I also felt at home in the small rainforest that was our backyard – one which we shared with sloths and iguanas.
When my daughter was born in San Francisco, I developed a heightened sensitivity to the noise and overwhelm around me – and now around her too – and I refused to accept that profound inner peace was to become merely a retreat indulgence. So, I embarked on a journey to awaken my everyday nature-infused, inherent calm.
Inspired by a tiny colibrí, and informed by years of study with the Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hanh, many opportunities to be in community with Indigenous wisdom keepers, and my experience as a documentary filmmaker, I developed a reliable, soul-satisfying method for accessing our peaceful, grounded presence in collaboration with the Earth.
Since then, I've had the pleasure of guiding all sorts of Earth Lovers – farmers, filmmakers, sustainability professors, outdoor educators, botanical artists, policy makers, healthcare workers, healers, chefs, students, parents, people — in accessing their own nature-infused, inherent calm, every single day. I've shared my learnings as a course at Stanford University, for the United Nations, the Dalai Lama Fellows and for a growing online community.
My prayer is that in tending to our everyday calm in partnership with the nature around us, we will be able to become great instruments of healing for ourselves, our children, our communities and our beloved Earth Mother, for generations to come.
