What if nature isn’t a backdrop…

…but a conversation?

For thousands of years, cultures around the world understood that the rivers, trees, our dreams, intuition, and meaningful coincidences were all part of one living relationship.

Somewhere along the way, many of us forgot how to listen.

On August 1, Orion and I of Illuminating Hearts are opening our Inner Space Academy workshop to the public.

🐦‍⬛ It's called Nature’s Intelligence.
It's held at the beautiful Mallet Lodge in Platte River State Park. (The lodge has incredible acoustics for our Sound Alchemy, and we’ll be bringing our biggest collection of instruments! 🥳)

🌳 It’s a 5-hr immersive experience in the forest.
When nature becomes both mentor and mirror.

☀️ Together we’ll explore consciousness, shamanic journeying, resonance medicine, power, creativity, healing, reality, and our relationship with the living world.

🪶 This day might be for you if:..you’ve ever felt drawn to the mystery beneath ordinary life...you’ve ever wondered whether intuition can be cultivated...your soul has been longing for a deeper place to land...you’ve ever walked through the woods and felt like nature was trying to speak to you. (It was.)

🌿 Early Bird pricing is available through Tuesday, July 14 at 11:30 PM.

We’d love to share this day with you.

The world is alive.
The conversation is already happening.
Listening is a place of power.

Yesterday a new pulse began. We may notice the outer world has less pull, as the inner world invites us to hear something deeper.

Neptune begins its retrograde journey in Aries yesterday, to cultivate a juicier, more alchemical intimacy with your own inner knowing. Your inner knowing is home to your essence — an infinite stream of truth, love, and creative power flowing through finite you.

Aries asks us to courageously begin. Neptune asks us for another kind of courage: to go inward and dream. Together, they are a wondrous and strange power couple shaping our lives for the next fourteen years offering permission slips to deeper creatorship.

They whisper, “The deepest guidance arrives when we’re still enough to listen.”

As we prepare for the Cancer New Moon on July 14, we’re entering a beautiful frequency to deepen this dance with non-ordinary reality.

The unconditional love we spend so much of our lives searching for has never been separate from us. Beneath the surface current of striving and doing, flows an underground spring that’s been quietly nourishing us all along.

This is where everything begins.

With practice, we can learn to return to this spring again and again, living in greater creative harmony with ourselves, one another, and life itself.

Officially 56 and still causing a little cosmic trouble.
Happy summer solstice y’all. ☀️
