Nature’s Blueprint

– OUR INTRODUCTORY COURSE –

A short course introducing you to a map for nature-connected personal growth & cultural repair, begins on the new moon March 29th

Early Bird ends March 16th!

When we bring together deep nature connection practices and heartful community we create a unique field of connection in todays world, a nature-based ‘village’. This is our most regenerative blueprint as a human being, and this is what we introduce and explore in Nature’s Blueprint.

Welcome to our one moon-cycle long course, introducing you to powerful practices for deepening your personal nature connection, and a pathway for how these practices can lead us to creating a more regenerative future.

We have created a bundle of introductory teachings and experiences that will guide you to understand the heart of our framework.

‘Fantastic to have an interactive resource to reengage with the 8 Shields, and a pleasure to explore the sit spot challenge in company. Big appreciation Peter and Sky for bringing this out to help more people deepen their understanding of the origins and power of this work, which is so needed at this time.‘ – May, past participant

 Natures Blueprint will introduce you to

  • The indigenous origins of the ‘8 Shields’ framework and how this model came into being
  • It’s vision for creating a regenerative future through awakening connection attributes in people
  • The primary cycles of nature, the day and the year, and how they relate to the directions and translate into archetypal energies that underpin and guide human creativity and growth
  • The core routines of deep nature connection which are the foundation for personal and collective transformation through the process of ecological awakening and ecological homecoming
  • Some of the deeper more complex cultural repair layers of the 8 Shields framework

It will guide you through an experiential journey of

  • Encountering each of the directional archetypes in your body through an imaginal journey, sensory opening and direct encounter 
  • Becoming familiar with the practice of the core nature connection practice of ‘sitspot’

You will be part of a community

  • Of like-minded and like-hearted peers that are moving through the journey with you
  • That meets together for a live 2 hr call to share each others stories and deepen into what they are teaching you

We recommend following these prompts but we will also make the first three videos available to you in the resource library from the beginning date of the course incase you want to move at a quicker pace.

We will also invite you into an on-line shared space where you can meet your cohort and share stories as you move through the materials and experience.
