Cultivating Cognitive Agility with Our Plant & Tree Allies


  • Hawk Circle 219 Hawk Circle Lane Cherry Valley, NY, 13320 United States (map)

Join Marguerite Uhlmann-Bower and Carolyn Clark Pierson for an interactive workshop that deepens our relationships with plant, tree and Nature allies and cultivates the sacred wild essence within us.

During our 3 days together, we’ll share fun and consciousness-expanding activities designed to deepen our attention, empathy and emotional reciprocity and to hone our listening and observational skills. Through a combination of self-guided meditations, dream time and imagination, you will discover new ways of identifying Nature allies, understanding your personal ecology, and resurrecting your Kin-nections with Nature, the Land and ancestors.


Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is intended for all who wish to:

  • Restore a semblance of dignity for an Earth-centered future

  • Remember the wisdom of our ancient selves

  • Nourish reciprocal, interdependent relationships with the-Nature-that-surrounds-us, the Sacred in all things, the invisible ones, and each other

Introduction, Thursday Evening  

  • actively pursue and embody, the Sacred, Nature intelligence, alchemy and equinimity 

  • develop our innate blueprint through our sensory gates (internal and external)

  • liberate our ancient languaging abilities and felt frequencies.

  • work on phases of awakening to biases and beliefs. 

  • navigate landscape patterns with acceptance of the mystery and phenomena.

  • hopes for this weekend; why do we do this? 

  • surrenduring ego; reading the landscape

  • do we really know what is good for the landscape, trees, plants, animals?

  • do we even know the right questions to ask? 

Overall Weekend Objective

By the end of this training, you will be able to identify, develop and apply sensory messages for a shared dialogue with the Natural world. This weekend's planned experience takes us from an anthropocentric, mechanistic daily existence to living within the Unified Field of embodied heart-coherence. The New Earth Living Way. 

Email us for individual objectives for each day.

4) develop and/or amplify our existing Nature dialoguing skills.

Saturday

 5) how do we listen to the voice of plants? how do we ‘hear’ their answers? what do we ‘listen’ with? what do we even do with the answers? how do answers come? why is this so important? 

 6) the deeper meaning we are seeking.

 7) how to apply this to our activities of daily living.

 8) crafting true, honest and congruent messages from Natures multi-lingual spaces.
