Creating Sacred Places

Our deep connection with Nature is just as essential to the well-being of our world as our very breath is to our own lives. Nature is a part of who we are. When we lose that connection to Nature, we cut ourselves off from a vast intelligence, a deeper understanding of life, unlimited creativity, storehouses of energy and least of all, unbounded Love. Some ancient cultures and many present day indigenous tribes live in tune with Nature and all the intelligence found within her. By moving away from linear "mind only", mechanical, reductionist thinking and moving toward a more heart-centered holistic perception, we restore this connection and not only are our individual lives enriched beyond what we could imagine, but the solutions to the myriad environmental and socials problems are available to us, we only need to ask.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN

I work intuitively with the intelligence of Nature to create places that connect you with your own silence, peace, magic and deep connection with Nature. Whether grand in scale or small and simple, these sacred places are perfect for meditation, contemplation, celebration, gatherings and they are, of course, a feast for the senses.

WORKSHOPS

"By establishing one's mind in the heart - Universal Consciousness - the whole world of perception appears as one's own Nature." Shiva Sutras

We only perceive a small fraction of the world around us. Our gateways of perception allow a small percentage of information available to us to flow into our senses. And we have never been trained how to use our heart has an organ of perception. Once our heart is trained and expanded, the world around us seems to wake up and become fuller, lighter, sweeter and more lovely.
