Connecting to Country - The Foundations
Beginner Level Nature Reading 6 week program
In this course we look at how we can form a relationship with our immediate environment. Understand the specific energies of different environments along with the attributes and lessons we can learn from the many and varied flora and fauna that live in them. You are encouraged to spend time in natural spaces, observing and documenting your encounters. There are journaling techniques and suggested activities that work to develop your intuition and connection to the changing landscape, the natural cycles and seasons of not just our physical environments by our internal landscape as well. If you are already practising modalities like oracle or tarot reading then learning how to interpret messages from nature can add new tools to your skill set and deepen your intuition and connection to spirit. It can also assist anyone wanting to deepen their own relationship with their natural environment by connecting to the Country they are living on.
