No, you don't need to climb everest

As we wrapped up our spring Sacred Nature course, students were surprised at how deeply they could connect with nature right in their backyard.


I get it!

There’s an assumption floating around that in order to have heart-swelling, spiritually orgasmic experiences outside, one must wander out into the vast wilderness, hiking miles a day, surviving on dirt and drinking dew on blades of grass.

While I won’t deny I’ve had miraculous moments far away from civilization, my most meaningful experiences happened right in my suburban garden.

This is made possible because of consistency—you’re more likely to develop a familial relationship with a patch of Earth you visit every day, than with a place you only visit once in a lifetime.

Think about it this way...


If you have two friends--
one lives next door and you see them everyday (even for a few casual moments) and the other lives across the planet and you only Facebook message occasionally—you can bet your sweet ass you’ll have a more intimate relationship with the former because of the constant contact. 

Enjoying an intimate relationship with the Earth the same. 
It’s about touching wildness. 
Not necessarily wilderness. 

I promise that, for most of my readers, there is enough wildness to nourish your soul within 10 miles of your home. 
 You may have a postage stamp yard, an expansive garden, or a complete permaculture farm. Or you may live in a city with potted plants on a balcony and a nearby park. 

Regardless of your green space, it’s THE place for you to start a connection practice. 
Because it's yours… your place to bond with.

When you bond regularly with a place you give her a chance to bond with you too.

In time, you belong to each other. 
 Not in terms of “property” or “ownership” but in a “your souls are intertwined and your love positively influences each other's existence” sort of way. 
 So no, my love, you don’t need to climb Mount Everest in order to find the wildness you’ve been yearning for. 
 Just go outside, sit down, and start the conversation. 
​
I'd love to hear if your experiences. Join the Facebook group and share them!

When the constant pursuit to do more leads to overwhelm and anxiety, it’s easy to find yourself feeling disconnected, exhausted, and missing the juiciest parts of life. For over 17 years, Lynn has been guiding people to reconnect with nature and ceremony, allowing them to reclaim a sense of purpose and embrace peace.

Terms, Conditions, & other crap no one reads

I acknowledge that I'm living and working on stolen land. The original peoples of what's now called New York, as well as the rest of this continent, were wrongfully & forcibly removed from their lands, suffered death, physical, and emotional trauma, and their culture intentionally fractured. I understand that Native Americans are still here; strong and thriving. I offer my condolences those the past, present, and future indigenous peoples who experienced harm, at the hands of colonizers, the colonial system, and systemic racism. I promise to do my best to be an ally, abolitionist, and accomplice. To support reparations and healing, in not just words, but in action. I understand that this statement is imperfect and only the first step.
