Inner Treasure Hunt: Discovering Your Wild Self Through Nature Connection

At Earth & Spirit Café we offer monthly drop-in gatherings (every fourth Thursday of the month). Each month we host a guest speaker exploring knowledge that honours our dance of relationship with Earth and Spirit. A diversity of topics includes: reciprocal land use, respect for Indigenous ways of knowing, tending death with consciousness, and inspirational change-makers.

We invite you to bring your questions and queries! Hosted by experienced facilitators, holding heart-based space — Renate Ringer & Alice L. Meyers.

In this January 2023 session, Animas Valley Institute-trained Facilitators Becky Traptow and Sarah Frizelle will share about their experiential nature-based wanders. They invite you into an inner treasure hunt, discovering your wild self through nature connection.

For the first half of our session, we learn from Becky & Sarah as they draw on Bill Plotkin’s Map of the Psyche (Soul) to talk about the therapeutic wanders they facilitate in the forest. The second half turns into a ‘cafe-style’ round-table discussion where silence, conversation, and inquiry are equally welcomed!
