"To be admitted to Nature’s hearth costs nothing… you have only to push aside the curtain."
- Henry David Thoreau

Nature Dreams

Nature dreams with us in every moment. Birds sing songs, reminding us to feel more joy. Butterflies flutter by telling us, feel more alive. Squirrels bury nuts preparing for winter, quickly dropping everything to play, advising us to relax, enjoy life more! Nature speaks to us in every turn of the season but it is up to us to hear her message.

We are becoming acutely aware we need to change if we hope to see a place of beauty and balance for our children and grand children. The Earth is asking us to acknowledge her presence and open our awareness to receive her guidance. The Earth is a living, breathing organism, willing to share her intelligence, if only we would listen.

Our ancestors, the Native Americans, the Aboriginals, the Toltecs and other indigenous cultures, understood Nature’s language and lived in balance with the natural world. Our ancestors lived in connection to the Earth, developing rituals and habits based on a profound understanding of Nature’s rhythms.

Unfortunately, our modern world has disconnected us from this ancient knowledge as we now surround ourselves with technological advancements that widen the gap between humans and Nature. A growing disease named Nature Deficit Disorder have many concerned for the wellbeing of our children knowing we no longer comprehend the natural world. It’s time to rediscover indigenous traditions that work in harmony with Nature and develop ways to integrate our newfound knowledge into modern society.

The heart of the natural world beats within each of us. We are intricately connected to the web of life that breathes through every living organism. We need to attune our Being to the natural flow of Nature, nurturing our seeds of change, forming a sacred relationship with Mother Earth.

The Monarch Effect believes the key to understanding Nature’s dream is to experience this forgotten world and begin seeing from a renewed perspective. It is through our experience in these realms where we rekindle our fire within and begin creating from a mindful place in respect for and understanding of Nature.

The Monarch Effect’s Mindfulness in Nature activities are designed to open channels connecting us to our own dreams in alignment with Mother Nature. Discover a new relationship with Nature, and begin developing a deep understanding of yourself within the natural kingdom. It is through our renewed alliance with the natural world where we receive Nature’s intelligence.

Join us and allow Nature to become our teacher that shows us the way to creating a peaceful and sustainable world. Join us in a process of natural exploration and begin seeing the world within and around us with new eyes.
