What We Do

Nature & Spirit Center offers resources for devotion.

Whoever a person believes God is, one thing remains consistent: the path to God is one of devotion. Although it may look different from one person or people group to another, the importance of the disposition of their hearts remains the same. Lives of prayer, practice, awareness, and integration are universal in how the Divine communes with and transforms humanity. Religious leaders who’s lives are absent of conscious practice like these are typically ones who destroy religion’s credibility. Loving devotion changes lives. Not dogma.

What are resources for devotion?

“Resources for devotion” are practices, exercises, and experiences that draw us magnetically to our highest perspectives and behaviors.

Prayer

Prayer is what is happening. Wherever we are placing our hopes, or our fears, is what the act of prayer looks in our lives, from the Divine’s perspective. Words matter very little. We’ve compiled a few brief prayer practices and made them available here.

Meditation

Meditation is a free and bountiful resource. Everything can be a mediation.

Nature & Spirit offers meditation music, guided audio meditations, online classes, and meditation retreats.

Retreats

Retreats are a wonderful way of disrupting personal or behavioral cycles and patterns. “Retreats” are not vacations, but very restful periods of time in loving devotion.

Regression Hypnosis

Regression hypnosis is an act of quieting the mind to allow space for the spirit to speak.

Cannabis Ceremony

Cannabis is a beneficial plant to many ailments. The human body has more cannabinoid receptors than any other receptor. Our bodies are designed to receive cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are only found in breast-milk and cannabis. Psychologically and spiritually, cannabis connects us in very real ways to the healing presence of Mother. Having prayerful times where cannabis is consciously consumed as an act of devotion and openness, the Divine to enter the mind, imagination, and life in powerful, liberating, and transformative ways.

Cannabis Ceremonies take place in a variety of ways. If you are interested in working spiritually and consciously with this plant, please reach out.

The present moment is the language of God, that is what is meant by the Word is Alive. All acts of devotion start with recalling us home, to the present moment.

There’s very little in our world that encourages individuals to live with this awareness, but more and more people are waking up to the raising of their consciousness to something more elaborate

Throughout each lifetime, every person’s idea of God transforms from an immature one to one of true humility and maturity. Perhaps then, having the correct idea or concept of God is one of less importance than it is to simply treat life as a living act of devotion. Devotion to there being only One Spirit, in all and through all, of all names and beyond all names, before time and after time, before religion and after religion. Before Christ, and after Christ, and including Christ. Before, after, and including all incarnations in and throughout creation.

Devotion is a disposition of the heart, not an act of the body. One can sit in stillness, doing “nothing” as an act of devotion, and it can transform the world. One can busily hunt down manifestations of dreams and goals as an act of devotion. We can perform any act as an act of devotion, but we are not acting in a vacuum, Life/the Divine responds to our actions. Devotion

Disconnecting from busyness, screens, and information to spend time observing, enjoying, and experiencing Nature & Spirit, in all and through all. We stock the cottage with reading material, prayerful practices, studying space, blessings, organic snacks, clean water, and a private view of a field, trees, and the sky.

Disconnect to reconnect.

Additionally, Brian and I are offering periodic retreats. These retreats have been and continue to be laying the groundwork of making the connections for a network of healers, seekers, and believers. Retreats are kicking off next Spring/Summer, with plans for bi-monthly day or weekend long retreats, though we hope to offer one this winter, as well.
