Our mystical connection to nature brings us into full maturity as human beings.

 

It is never too early—or too late—to open to the earth more fully.

Through our connections, we learn nature’s rhythms and wisdoms, and come to truly understand the cycles of a fruitful life.

That’s why many of us spend as much time as we can traveling into nature—whether it’s a trip into our gardens or an immersive time in the wilderness. Often we delay the journey because it’s not the right moment. But did you know that making that connection is not dependent on the right weather, the right day, or the right season?

 

Let wilderness guide and naturalist Laura Gunion help you “go there” to restore and relate with your favorite spaces—with Opening to the Earth: New Approaches to Familiar Places.

 

Laura’s curiosity, acute listening, and precise questioning support people in living boldly and courageously. She’s spent decades mentoring people at all levels of outdoor experience at the Wilderness Awareness School, and she explores the terrain of nature’s inner landscapes in programs she currently co-facilitates at Animas Valley Institute She is bringing Sacred Fire a unique program, one that reveals the possibilities of gaining experiential insights and inspiration through mystical encounters with our memories of familiar places.

Slow down. Remember. Be present with the place that nourishes your soul, even as you commune with others during this 90-minute event.

“A lot of personal growth and living whole-heartedly isn’t about new ideas and what we already know. Instead, how do we remember—and then embody—something in the world? This is a conversation about remembering our connection to the natural world.”
—Laura Gunion
