Enatured In-Person Gathering at The Trees Retreat Center, Durham NC
2025-03-15 13:00 - 16:00 | The Trees Retreat Center, 1701 Pleasant Green Rd, Durham, 27705, United States
Enatured® In-Person Gathering at The Trees retreat center, Durham NC
1:00 pm-4:00pm Eastern time
Enatured is a simple but profound method to commune with land, and the beings of the land, wherever you are. It draws from mindfulness, shamanism, psychology, and scientific research about nature.
Based on what you are seeking that day, you will have an opportunity to receive and give in a deeply personal way.
Participants will learn the method, then have independent time to practice where you are drawn to connect on the land. The Trees retreat center (a sacred gift to St Philip’s Church), has 50 acres of woods, with streams, waterfall, mossy rocks, and a labyrinth. If for any reason being inside is more comfortable to you, the practice can be done from inside gazing out the expansive windows onto the landscape below.
Enatured® recognizes, protects, and fosters the relationship between humans, animals, plants, elements, and land.

Find your true nature through nature.
Feel your spirit by feeling the spirits of nature.
Learn your genius by learning the genius of the land.

The Enatured method helps us return to our true natures by experiencing interconnection with nature all around us.

Animal Human Bond Course Columbia University Teachers College Spirituality Mind Body Institute
I am excited and honored to return as instructor of the Spirituality and the Animal Human Bond course this year.
In addition to looking at current research on animal assisted experiences and therapies, and animal welfare issues, we will explore the Enatured™ method, Shining Bright Without Burning Out, and other nature based methods with graduate students in the psychology program.
We will be at the ever inspiring Catskill Animal Sanctuary which provides safe haven for abused and neglected farm animals. If you are near, it is a very special place to visit. CAS is also feeling the effects of climate change in a challenging way.
Although this is a closed course, let me know if you are interested in sharing either the practice of Enatured™ or the boundary toolkit Shining Bright Without Burning Out with your group or organization. Private sessions are of also available.

Nature Workshop @ Menla Retreat Center for Columbia TC SMBI
June 16-18
The Spirituality Mind Body Institute at Teachers College holds a summer intensive program annually to begin the graduate psychology program. I will join the program at the Menla Retreat Center to deliver nature-based, ecospiritual sessions for new graduate psychology students.
As instructor for the Spirituality of the Animal Human Bond course founded by Dr. Lisa MIller, I recently had the opportunity to join a wonderful group of students and staff at the Catskill Animal Sanctuary. As usual, the Catskill Animal Sanctuary was incredibly inspiring. The summer session will introduce this work and expand into some other practices.
Although this is a closed course, let me know if you are interested in experiencing some of the ecospiritual options that these courses include. Enatured® can be part of new programming, as can the boundary toolkit Shining Bright Without Burning Out. Session can be delivered onsite or online, for individuals or groups. Private sessions are available in Durham, NC, at your organization, or online.
