Nature Therapy Retreats
The Door Into Nature...
Because we are taught so many untruths about what we can know, about what Nature is and is not, the first step in gathering knowledge from the heart of the world is to go into the world... abandoning our preconceptions.
There is no place within Nature for observers, for conservative thinkers.
The thinking linear mind, strongly promoted by our society is what creates the boundary line between us and the world, and this brain closes the door to Nature. But the door is unlocked... Perceiving through the senses opens the door. The more sensitivity we cultivate to sensory flows, the more directly we perceive with our senses, and the wider the door opens.
Habitual Location of consciousness in the brain... atrophies the capacity for sense perception. What's worse is that we have been taught that the senses are unreliable as organs of perceptions.
Everything has a hidden face. Hidden, not in the sense that it is intentionally concealed, but in that it can only be seen with different eyes than the physical. A different mode of perception must be used.
The hidden face of nature can only be seen with the heart.
Our senses are living organs intended to receive communications. They connect us to, interweave us with, the steam of informational energy that comes to us every moment of every day that we live. Focusing perception through the senses immerses the self in the Earth's sensory flows.

Immerse ourselves in Nature (rather than on Screens)
To immerse the self in the wash of the world’s communications, to feel the touch of the Earth through the body, brings the entire body alive. The way it was when we were young….attending to sensory communications from the world dissolves the boundary between self and world. It is a crucial act in reconnecting ourselves with the life of Earth. Sensory perception is the natural and right blending of inner and outer.

Marriage/Couples Retreats
In our many years working with Couples, dating back to 1990, we have made two significant discoveries:
- As we said earlier living exclusively in the thinking brain atrophies, deadens, or eliminates the body’s ability to be in a flow of energy of the senses necessary for feelings of peace, calm, and relaxation. In other words the body is in a continual state of stress even during sleep (actual rest does not even exist). For couples this means emotional reactivity, anxiety, defensiveness, criticism, blame, contempt, stonewalling, etc. And of course these are relationship killers. Empathy and caring cannot exist in this environment. The antidote for this all too common problem is to immerse the couple in Nature, to enliven the senses. Especially, the energy of the Heart.
- Once the couple is discovering and able to navigate from their thinking process to feelings, from the head to the body, then they become capable of understanding the process of using conflict to promote closeness rather than polarize the relationship.
