HELPING HEAL THE EARTH

We offer teaching and healing gifts

Helping Heal the Earth is a non-profit website offering teachings, recordings, and reflections on the natural world as a sacred space, and as an opportunity for mystery, reverence, and communion with the divine.

The site includes material on nervous system regulation, calm, and inner stillness through the Healing Gifts section, blog writings, and archival recordings.

Across these materials, the work explores spiritual teaching, meditation, consciousness, and the relationship between inner experience and the natural world, offering a quiet invitation toward greater presence and understanding.

Workshop Talks

These are selected talks from my week-long teachings and retreats at Ratna Ling in Cazadero, California, recorded between 2014 and 2017.

Perhaps our listening to what wants to be known becomes a practice of reverence.

 Practicing Reverence

In this talk I will try to explain the mystery of 'listening.' Of course, this is a listening with the heart rather than the intellect. And perhaps our listening to what wants to be known becomes a practice of reverence.

A Talk About Self-absorption and Selflessness

A talk and healing recorded in August of 2011 at Ratna Ling. The subtext here is the active practice of reverence. A healing and transmission follow the talk.

Sadness and Suffering

Another talk and healing recorded in August of 2011 at Ratna Ling. I discuss sadness, suffering, and reverence and then offer you a healing.

Grounding to the Earth

A description of the process of Earth connection. Then a comment about the importance of experiencing 'solidarity' with the Earth.

Witnessing The 'Other'

A talk and then a transmission about witnessing as a contentless experience of social solidarity.
