Is This for You?

You’re drawn to nature for restoration, learning and guidance. This space is for you if you want to:

• Use meditation and embodiment practices in nature as a way of learning

• Cultivate ecological awareness through lived, sensory experience

• Develop perceptual skills rather than collect more information

• Integrate nature-based practice into your life, work, or leadership

• Practice alongside others in a grounded, non-dogmatic community

You might be a practitioner, guide, facilitator, educator, leader or simply someone committed to practising in relationship with the living world. You might have experienced a Nature Quest or similar immersion and want to sustain the practice.

What is the Partnering with Nature Community of Practice?

A shared meditation, embodiment and learning space, centring on direct experience in nature using:

• Nature-based meditation

• Embodiment and sensory awareness practices

• Perceptual training and deep listening

• Reflection and integration into daily life and work 

These practices are used to cultivate ecological awareness: the kind of mind that acts as an extension of the living world, and perceives ourselves as part of it.

Together, we explore how sustained, embodied practice in relationship with land, water, and all living beings can:

• Refine perception and attention

• Develop relational intelligence with the more-than-human world

• Inform how we live, lead, facilitate, and make decisions

It is grounded, experiential, and relational.

How it Works: 1 Community, 2 Circles

About the Practice Circle

Seasonal Rhythm

Each season we move through a shared collective inquiry:

• Opening Circle — orienting to the season and inquiry

• Seasonal Practice — individual and collective exploration in nature

• Harvest Circle — sharing learnings and what’s ready to be carried forward

The inquiry is shaped by both the season and the people in the field.

Monthly Rhythm

Each month we have:

• An awareness practice and group meetup
• An additional nature-based challenge
• Ongoing reflections and insights from the group

Along with weekly prompts.

Occasional & Emergent

Offered when aligned:

• In-person meetups

• 'Book club' style shared sensemaking using books, essay or podcast material

• Member-initiated gatherings or offerings

Not a fixed schedule, we'll let this happen when the time is right.
