During these programs, we will…
Nurture your own unique and wildly personal, reciprocal relationship with the earth.
Explore ways to integrate your unique style of nature connection work into your offerings for your clients and communities.
Explore your abilities to communicate with animals and the natural world.
Deepen your relationship with your wild soul and the world of spirit so you can live fully from this place of connection and bring core Wild Rhythms practices to your life and, in turn, offer the same to your own clients and communities.
Wild Rhythms work is unique in that it has both foundational principles and practices and the freedom to move within those and make the work your own. This is different from most nature connection training and guide programs you will find.

You will learn essential skills, and there is also flexibility in that the practice shows up in diverse ways with different practitioners having different personal backgrounds and experiences. You will learn a process and orientation, which will likely result in different approaches for different people so that you can participate in your own way…

Without following a prescribed, cookie-cutter way of sharing your love of spirit and nature with others.
Without sacrificing your own deep connection to nature and the world of spirit in support of others.
Without feeling overwhelmed and inundated with directives about how you should bring this work to your clients.
And without taking from wild nature without giving something back in return.

What is Wild Rhythms work?
At its core, Wild Rhythms work is about creating a solid foundation in your own eco-spiritual journey, orienting yourself as a practitioner towards deep collaboration with the places where you work and the more-than-human voices inherent in those places, and creating unique offerings for your clients and communities from this place of awareness and connection.

To support your journey into your own deeply aligned signature body of nature connection work, I have created a four-level training program focusing on you, your spiritual connection to nature, and the work you want to bring to the world.

During this training, I will offer you tools to support yourself and your clients, providing opportunities for transformation, growth, and healing…and doing it from a place of deep grounding in your own practice.

The levels build on each other. You can take Level 1 and leave with actionable steps towards your goals and more tools and skills to help deepen your client’s experiences with wild nature. You can also choose to journey through all four levels and leave with an advanced and refined body of work and an increased ability to help your clients transform and grow…while doing all that in deep collaboration with wild nature, the world of spirit, and the more-than-human world.

“The (Wild Rhythms) Practitioner Training helped me to clarify my place in this whole conversation of a more beautiful, sustainable world. It provided me with concrete and really useful resources for my retreats and workshops and in general for how I want to offer my sacred work in the world. It brought to even greater awareness the fact that there are so many ways and meanings of the sacred and of nature connection. We had a rich and truly helpful exchange between participants in the live group calls that helped me to clear things I was chewing on with regards to specific projects I am working on. It was perfectly synchronized with where I am at in my personal and professional life and hence I intuitively knew it was right for me right now, and it completely exceeded my expectations as to what I could receive from this course, especially in relation to my work in sustainable development.

Mary Ann M. Colorado, Wild Rhythms Practitioner Training (Level 1)

 

“I felt like this course provided the inspiration and motivation I needed to finally jumpstart my work! Deb is a great mentor who is so passionate and dedicated to this important work and to her students.”

Course Participant, Wild Rhythms Practitioner Training (Level 1)

 

“This really was my first step towards even thinking about how I may bring nature work into my dance and therapy practices, and Deb was a solid, supportive and inspirational guide all along the way. Over the weeks we connected, there were moments of deep excitement and inspiration as well as fear and doubt, but no matter what it was I always felt safe to bring that back to Deb and the group. For that I will always be grateful because it helped me to not give up and gain the courage to put out my first nature offering! Fingers crossed, and thank you. ”

Jennifer Tuuk, MSW

 

“I absolutely loved this nature connection for professionals course with Deb.  When she advertised it, I knew right away that is was for me.  I recently launched my own business,  but I am still in the process of figuring out what programs to offer and what it looks like to run a business.  This course helped me brainstorm ideas and gave me so many resources that I can’t wait to dive into.  It also gave me a sense of community connecting with other like-minded individuals passionate about our sacred connection to nature.  Deb is genuine with so much to offer this world, and I’m excited to take more of her courses in the future!”

Program Participant, Fall 2020

 

“I love the nature connection practitioners course and I found everything about it valuable.  Deb’s expertise is clearly communicated and generously shared.  Her light, easy-going manner makes every session a pleasure to attend.”

Program Participant, Fall 2020

 

“Deb is responsive, reflexive,  and attentive in this work and how she is a teacher facilitator.  She brings a depth of experience to this work and continually shares the expertise while weaving in any new threads that come her way to further this tapestry of learning.” 

Janice Mason Steeves, Workshops in Wild Places

 

“Deb’s nature connection practitioner’s workshop helped give me a deeper grounding in teaching nature connection workshops.  I use nature connection exercises with artists to help them deepen their relationship to the earth and from that connection, to create abstract paintings based on their feelings for the land.  This workshop helped me understand my own love of nature.”
