Connect With the Intelligence and Magic of Nature
Cathy Carter, owner of Kinship with Nature, and
Michael Gulbrandsen, owner of Nature’s Whispers, have teamed up to offer a
series of special nature workshops this summer. They will teach participants to
connect to the elemental beings, fairies, gnomes, plants and animals of the
Hudson Valley forest through activities such a meditative walks, lectures,
guided meditations, exercises and projects.
Upcoming workshops include Water Elemental Workshop, from 10 a.m.
to noon, May 7, 2023, with Viktor Schauberger, the Austrian forester and water
wizard, in Katonah; Let’s Build & Create Workshop: The Medicine Wheel, at

June 25, 2023, at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, in Cross River; and Fire Elemental

Carter has a
life-long relationship with the nature spirits. She has studied with Karsten
Maseii, Susan Raven and many other seers of nature, and strives to bring this
ability to others in order for humans to co-create with the intelligence found
in the natural world. Gulbrandsen holds a lifetime of study in ancient native
practices, plant and animal communication and healing work with trained elders.
His ongoing intention is sharing this gift with others.
“Plants want to
connect with the people of the land around them,” shares Carter. “I instruct
people how to make this connection with Grandmother Earth and its inhabitants.”
Gulbrandsen, a.k.a. “Pondhawk,” adds, “We want you to pause and take in the
magic, slow down your senses, see the forest from the squirrel’s eyes and
listen to nature’s whispers.”
Workshop fees range from $40 to $75. For more information,
