Now more than ever we are being asked to define for ourselves what is important. How shall we live? What do I value? How do I contribute and connect?
After decades of dissociative beliefs and behaviors driving species, systems and ourselves to extinction we are being called to act on behalf of the world and the ones we love—whether they be two-legged, four-legged, webbed, rooted, finned or flying.
The work that we do now is the embodied work of reciprocity and connection. Cultivating connection with Earth. Cultivating connection with spirit. Cultivating connection with place. And cultivating a connection with yourself.
The time is right. The soil is rich with the decay and dissolution of the old structures. Not just the physical structures but also our mental, psychological and social structures. It’s all dissolving and decaying to create the rich soil we are in right now. As Gardeners of the Soul we learn again how to cultivate. This is the first step. Cultivate Connection.

Course Outline
How
Through a series of hands-on practices and guided meditations, students develop innate abilities for heightened insight and deeper connection for practical application in daily life.
Course Design
Cultivate Connection is a 3 part series (three ‘Pods’) practiced over 6 weeks. Each Pod holds 3 ‘Seeds’, or opportunities for practice. The Three Seeds are Land Listening, Movement Medicine and Deep Spirit Connection. ‘Pods’ drop every two weeks followed by a facilitated one-hour Zoom gathering with Deborah. Zoom sessions are an opportunity to unite with the Connection community; to receive guidance and support; and for the inherent creativity of group mind to emerge.
Who
This course is designed with multiple levels in mind. That means that wherever you are in your life, your practices, in your ability to create free time – you will be able to drop in and benefit. Whether you practice daily for an hour or weekly for just a few minutes you will feel the benefits immediately.
