Love is the wellspring from which we experience joy, gratitude, and grief. It grows from our profound presence and awareness. Love is the most ...

Send us a text Quiet, hush, cold, dark, isolation. This is the tundra in winter. The cacophony of the raucous raven. The dark, dotted silhouettes soaring against the winter white landscape. The oscillation of the ocean. Sometimes it is rowdy. Sometimes, it is silent as it shifts slowly from the sway and swirl of its liquid state to its fixed, frozen form. The teachings of the tundra landscape are transformative. Listen, learn, and practice as we tap into the wisdom of the awe-insp...

The cryptobiotic soil crust of the desert landscape appears barren, but upon a closer look, is a biological bounty of organisms that nourish and protect desert flora. The ...

The collective calls of the forest birds beckon me into their world. Cocooned below the canopy cover, the bulwark of branches bolsters me in its being and beauty. The algid air is pungent and profuse with the earthy fragrance of fungi and decaying organic matter. With each breath, the vaporous veil of volatile compounds emitted from the tree...
