com· mu· ni· ty
com· mu· ni· ty (noun): common unity, interdependence, and communication — the essential nature of an ecosystem.
When we embrace the wisdom of nature, we elevate our understanding of the interconnected web of which we are a part. By shifting to presence, we nurture and support thriving ecosystems of community.
Just as the health of the soil corresponds to the vitality of the vegetal life within a garden, and thus the yield, the vitality of each individual is critical to the health of the ecosystem.
The health of the soil, its mineral richness, may be likened to the values and beliefs of the ecosystems of community, in which individuals are the seeds.
How do we nurture, nourish, and cultivate the seeds to support the vitality of the garden?
We create an environment that supports growth through alignment and harmonization.
Individuals thrive on a pathway of wholeness through presence; from a place of alignment – nourished body, balanced mind, harmonized heart – individuals are receptive to a flow of inspiration and creativity which kindles growth, and supports transformation.
We begin with breath.
Breath nourishes the body, and promotes a state of balance essential to individual well-being.
Our Foundational Practice, “Gentle Breath”, opens a shared space of common unity wherein we may together, pause, and shift to presence. Offered LIVE, daily, Monday through Friday, this fifteen-minute practice is an opportunity to bring the body, mind and heart into a place of balance and harmony.
Nature is our greatest teacher.
To create a relationship with the natural world – from the mountains and rivers, to the trees and plants, from all of the denizens of the earth and aquatic beings, to the winged-ones and four-leggeds – is to forge a partnership that nourishes the individual and the ecosystem.
As earth stewards, we seek to be in harmony with the land and the cycles of nature; we also honor the guidance from our animal and plant kin, true allies who freely offer to us their wisdom as we shift to presence.
Within our community – through Meditations, Explorations, and Gatherings – we express gratitude for, and celebrate the gifts of nature. We also partner with plants, attuning to their unique energy signature to support our journey of learning, growth, and expansion.
One of the primary plants with which we partner is cacao. A gentle heart-opener, cacao is a nutrient-abundant superfood that offers antioxidants to nourish and energize the physical body, while supporting emotional harmony with uplifting neurochemicals. Cacao, rich in theobromine, also supports vascular health, and enhances cognition.
Each month we gather in community with the invitation to commune with the Spirit of Cacao, including two Plant Spirit Communions, one Full Moon Alignment, and one Dream Weaver Fire Ceremony. While we do call upon the Spirit of Cacao, within this space of gratitude, we give honor to all elements; each individual may choose to engage with a cup of cacao, tea, or water.
Our choice to presence with heart, and to honor and nourish our body, mind and Spirit is what is most important.
We are grateful for your presence, here and now.
As we nourish, together, we enrich our ecosystem.
Together, we model for the children a new way of being in this world, united and nourished through our breath.
To tend these seeds is an act of Beauty.
We look forward to receiving you in our community.
