Discover Your True Nature
We each have our own unique composition. Perhaps yours is like the flickering fire, the starry night, the meandering stream, or the tree that takes root in a crack in the rocks and grows against all odds. Maybe you burst with creativity and emotion like the ocean. Or you’re solid like the stone that sits alone in a clearing, bringing strength and balance.
Whatever your resonance, you live, move, and process your experiences according to your own nature, in your own way– just like the rest of the natural world. The animals follow their innate instincts and the flowers bloom in their own fashion, without the slightest care for what the flower next to them looks like.
Recognizing that we too have our unique nature makes it easier to accept ourselves and others for simply being who we are, without judgment. No one would want the ocean to act like a tree, so why would we compare ourself to others who have a completely different nature than our own?
What’s Your Essence?
It can be tremendously liberating to see clearly what your unique essence is, and learn to just accept yourself for all of your strengths, quirks, and challenges. You can stop trying to be someone you’re not, and just be the best version of yourself.
When you find your unique resonance in the natural world, you also gain a source of strength and wisdom. Perhaps it is a waterfall you can listen to and observe, knowing that it moves with a force and beauty similar to your own. Or a spot deep in the forest that echoes your own depth.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a much stronger sense of who you are. You’ll find it easier to accept yourself. You’ll also discover a special power place in nature where you can recharge and learn to hone your unique wisdom.
Course Topics
The topics explored in this course include:
- The elements of Fire, Earth, Water, and Air, and what each one represents as part of your inner landscape
- Key archetypes and qualities associated with various aspects of the natural world, to help sense your own resonance
- The various forces that contribute to who we are (DNA, family dynamics, ancestral lineages, soul history and lessons, lived experiences, etc.)
- The core essence of your personality, how you deal with adversity, when you shine, and what you’re called to do in this lifetime
- Practicing self-acceptance and compassion for others through nature’s lens
Course Schedule and Format
The course consists of four weekly Monday evening classes, running from Sept 9 to Sept 30 2024, held live via Zoom from 7pm to 9pm MT. All classes will be recorded in case you can’t make it or would like to revisit anything. Most classes will consist of 90 minutes of presentation and exercises for self-reflection, followed by 30 minutes of Q&A.
The modalities we’ll use include:
- Presentation of ideas and stories
- Guided meditations
- Shamanic journeys
- Questions for self-reflection
- Group discussions
In addition, there will be online materials related to aspects of nature and their corresponding characteristics, to help you determine your own nature resonance. You’ll also have access to recorded shamanic journeys, nature exercises, and prompts for self-reflection that you can do on your own time.
The nature-based archetypes presented in the course follow those outlined in the book From the Depths of Creation: A Nature-Based Path to Healing, by Liz Beachy Gomez. All recordings and support materials will be accessible to you indefinitely through this website.
Course Objective
In the natural world, we don’t judge the forest for its fallen branches. We don’t compare blooming flowers and wonder why one isn’t as bright and pretty as the one beside it. We simply admire them for the beauty that they offer the world by existing, just as they are. The objective of this course is to help you embrace your essence in a similar way.
