Nature as Teacher

There was a time in human history when each of us was alive and awake to both the beauty and the wisdom of the natural world. A time of awareness where we intuited that what was happening 'outside' was also happening 'inside' each of us. A time when nature was our teacher. The following practices invite you to return and rekindle this inner knowing for the sake of your own well-being, for the sake of our planet and for future generations to come who will inhabit it.

Awareness - Paying attention to our attention - how and what we notice

This practice is that many Native American tribes have used to convey respect for and protect all life on earth. When we cultivate seven generation time, we take a step outside of ourselves, our needs and wants in the moment, and instead view all of our decisions in light of how they will impact the next seven generations. This practice increases our accountability and responsibility for caring for that which we control in our daily lives. Begin small by taking action in your daily life through reducing, reusing, and recycling, growing your own vegetables, considering utilizing solar or wind energy, taking public transportation, and/or purchasing hybrid or electric vehicles, etc.
