We Straddle Two Worlds
The eternal and the temporary.
When this is honoured, our lives and our world become balanced.
One world is the human drama on Earth. Each one of us full with our own stories of why our fears are necessary and important. Getting up on time, paying bills, traffic jams matter..of course they do…
It becomes obligatory to worry, irresponsible not to watch the news.
The magic of life slips silently by, leaving us clinging in grief and panic to a temporary life, increasingly emotionally overwhelmed about the way we have become.
The other world is the knee-bending, jaw dropping world of incredible wonder, that out of billions of possibilities and endlessly recycling atoms, a ‘You’ and ‘I’ even exist.
That you sit here now, able to understand small squiggles on a screen, interpreting instantly what I say and making choices based upon that.
The magic of Life sinks deeply into your cells stimulating awe, gratitude and humility, an uplifted heart and a peaceful mind, that together, we belong to ALL THIS!
Precious Feet
I invite you to join me, walking Nature’s path,
to fulfill your joyous potential, a foot in both worlds.
The Four Elements of Practice
Belonging:
There is magic in the most ordinary. In these classes you will experience your endless belonging as the fabric of the universe. As you discover that everything around you is a doorway to this wonder, the tight blinkers of important anxiety slip away and an irrepressible joy begins to rise.
We work paticularly with ‘Nature’s Secret Agents’ (the birds) who become our allies and help the feeling of alienation from the world drop away.
Streaming Wisdom.
Experience the flowing patterns of creation, recognised by Earth’s people since the beginning of time, within you. You will discover how they play out in all areas of your life and how they are a Wisdom that can be brought through you in drawing, movement and even in speech in direct communication with the universe.
These patterns access deep secrets within you, a Mystery and a Wisdom beyond the definition of the words we know and enable you to receive the unique guidance that you need in your life… the Wisdom of Nature flowing through you, flowing as you.
Freedom Through Gratitude
We explore the many implications of the powerful, multi-purpose tool, Gratitude.
The world around you begins to soften from being a hard-edged ‘reality’ to ‘cope’ with, into a loving world that accepts you exactly as you are. You discover you make new choices, respond in new ways and the world around you transforms.
Nature’s Wisdom has a clear path to flow through your life.
Lessons From The Forest And Stream:
These classes are drawn directly from what the forest and stream teach, to enable us to use emotional overwhelm as a resource.
That which you literally could not bear to feel, will become a bell that you delight to hear as it opens the door to clarity, empowerment, joy and again, your endless belonging.
Slip between the noise, rush and anxiety of a busy world
Re-awaken childlike wonder and return to the magic
Know you are surrounded by Nature where ever you are
What if we are not here to change the world, but to be changed by Her?
If our pain at what we have become, is a gift? So that we long for reconciliation.
If our alienation from the horror we have inflicted upon Earth, is an invitation? To be welcomed home, living as belonging to Life.
If our overwhelm and despair is a loving call? To the quiet beneath the noise, the stillness between the rush, the trust beyond the anxiety.
If this crisis is our chance? To clear away that which no longer works and clarify what draws us forward.
If this time is a resource? For motivation, inspiration and dedication to never forget, to look deeply and marvel at the incredible magic of Being.
What if the world is our guide? To living in reverence, awe, gratitude and humility of the most awesome wonder of experiencing that we exist…
….for a moment….

A dream more perfect and wondrous than could be contemplated.
Full Immersion
Seventeen Weeks
Full Immersion is all of the ‘toe dipping’ above, and all of the ‘sinking in’ and ‘rising up’ below
Sinking In
The foundational work gets deeper and goes deeper. We explore different aspects of the same elements of practice and significant shifts in experience begin to happen.
A lightness and joy that contains the whole range of experience becomes clearer and more easy to find.
More cracks are found in the apparent reality of the world and the magic shines through more frequently.
.....Breathe Out.....Time is your friend
Relax deeper….
Time is your friend.
These new thoughts become an action, a habit, a character, and a destiny.
Enjoy this opportunity to let it sink in without having to take in more information.
It is very simple, very easy…
Belonging
Unbreakable
We explore and experience the endless atomic dance we all belong to.
Relationships cultivated with the world around begin to deepen.
All time appears sharply as right now and the edge of you becomes less defined.
Lessons from the Forest and Stream
Emotional Skills.
The stream continues to teach and we explore how to care for the emotions.
You receive an ’emotions template’ to help map out habitual patterns and pain starts to become your friend.
.....Breathe Out.....
Go deeper.
You will definitely benefit from this out breath.
By now, a lot is shifting.
In clear and simple ways, I help you to easily stay on track.
Streaming Wisdom
Body Prayer.
In the eye of the storm of life, is eternal stillness.
From this place we can play and use the body to communicate with, and as, the flowing stream of creation.
A magic and mystery erupts forth, heralding the answer to questions you didn’t even know you had asked.
Freedom Through Gratitude
The Gratitude Echo.
Gratitude begins to echo back towards you, you are loved by the world.
You will discover how birds, animals and people react completly differently to you as this vibration flows through your body.

Nature’s Wisdom Is Your Guide
Rising Up….
not because we have to,
but because we can…
The next part of our work together is to bring it into the world in service and commitment. You already have commitment, that is why you are here. The overwhelm from the world can sometimes cause paralysis of not knowing whether, where and how to begin.
These deep and gentle classes build on the emotional skills you have developed and we turn from coping and caring for personal pain, to transforming collective pain.
.....Breathe Out.....
And deeper still….
The elements of teaching grow like the layers of the forest to create a protected, diverse and abundant landscape.
This time allows them to weave together within you….
Belonging
Breaking down.
Unnoticed secrets are revealed in the very walls of your home.
You can see your ancestors and descendants right now.
Your changed perspective means a changed life.
Lessons from the Forest and Stream
Transforming Collective Pain.
Belonging to the whole, the skills you have developed are used for the good of the whole.
Resilience, strength and clarity has developed within you so much by now that you can take in the pain of the world and transform it.
.....Breathe Out.....
…..deeper…..
Making all we have learnt real in your life, not because you have to, but because you can and because of the wonderful joy it is to play your part….
Streaming Wisdom
Service.
Step by step the way is revealed. The patterns of creation begin to come forth in your speech. The question and the answer arise simultaneously.
You become more awake to the guidance you are begin given.
Freedom Through Gratitude
Because we can.
Gratitude’s gifts are reverberating through your life.
There are still more to receive, that will guide you like the thread that led Ariadne out of the Minotaur’s labyrinth.
Arouse Your Ancient Wisdom:
You Belong
How we work together:
Our work is deep and changes the world we experience. Yet it takes no time at all to implement.
We meet together for live classes which are approximately 90 minutes long and simply shift straight into ever-present magic.
You will experience a world glistening with wonder and be able to share and pass on the joy.
You have an opportunity to do deep personal work, to benefit from others, to ask questions and to share if you wish.
Every week you will also recieve a small amount of additional material from me in the form of a short video, an audio to listen to as you go to sleep and prompts to reflect on, guiding you deeper.
Every third week is ‘breathe out’ week. No expectations, just a noticing and a deepening guided by pointers I will send you.
Use your pain for the world as a power for good
Find and feel Nature’s unstoppable power within you
Discover you are accepted and loved just as you are
Who is this for?
….you feel despair and grief about the state of the world, but know that another way is possible…
….you love Earth and long to live in harmony with people and planet …
….you are tired as all your efforts to make a positive impact, feel so superficial ….
….you are overwhelmed by the noise, rush and anxiety of today’s world, long for a magic you remember, but find that it slips elusively away….
….you long for world peace and yet feel guilty about your own resentments…
This is probably not for you if:
…you want to find someone to blame
…are clinically depressed
…want to engage in political discussions
This time could be the most wonderful gift
to bring us to our knees, to bring us back home….
Nature’s Path Can Lead You There
“As we get closer to Nature,
we realise that the subject of study is not actually Nature at all,
but Life and the nature of our own selves”
Joseph Cornell

A Vision from the future
It is the time of our grand-children’s grand-children’s grand-children. The Great Turmoil is over. All we were hoping for is made manifest.
These dear children of ours. Step through the portal and we are they, endlessly recycled ancestors of the soil.
We are so bright with the Light that shines through us. Incredible Beings to witness.
It is a privilege and an honour to have contributed to this moment in our evolution.
We are healthy. Our bodies are strong and lithe. Emotions flow through us, the richness of being human and move easily on.
We are bright, alert, relaxed, reverent.
There are no longer places of damaged land or displaced peoples. This just does not exist. People and planet have healed together. The Unstoppable Force of Nature has used one to heal the other.
There are many different cultures and customs and yet we share an understanding that connects us all.
We know we belong to Earth. We know we are part of each other.
From here I look on with tears of gratitude.
This is what my Heart was yearning for.
“I slept and dreamt that life was joy.
I awoke and saw that life was service.
I acted and behold, service was joy”
Rabindranath Tagore

You cannot help but be inspired by Maryjane.
She will lead you on a path of discovery.
A path that takes you back to the wonder and beauty of Nature and a door that will open your heart to the splendour of who you are.
I am so grateful to Maryjane. She was able to plough through what I perceived to be the challenges I face and pinpoint my ‘stuckness’ with such clarity and precision.
After a call with Maryjane, I felt gently energised, armed with a clearer, kinder and more nurturing way forward.
Maryjane is a deeply wise, knowledgable, and gentle teacher, and I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from her.
During that time I’ve benefitted in many ways, but especially through the work that we have done surrounding dealing with our emotions.
For many years, my emotions were stuck in my throat and I had an awful aching feeling there, which is what was my trigger for drinking, because I couldn’t bear the physical feeling. Every day I went through the process of suppressing my emotions without realising what I was doing. I would numb myself with constant activity and needing to achieve things, always thinking of others and ignoring myself.
Maryjane has taught me how to welcome my emotions and feelings, rather than allowing myself to be threatened by them. This is helping me towards a more peaceful and compassionate way of being in the world and I have found this enormously helpful.
I cannot thank Maryjane enough for her patience, kindness and integrity, and for teaching me a new way of being in the world.
It’s helped me to effect change not just within me, but it has rippled out in to my dealings with others and into the way that I inhabit the world in which I live.
Maryjane is a modern day sage with immense wisdom to share. She walks her talk as an earth lover and guardian with great integrity and brings a fresh and deeply needed approach to resolving the challenges we face globally.
I would recommend her writings, courses and programs to all activists, change-makers and anyone wanting to wake up to a more empowered and vibrant relationship to life.
Meet Maryjane
Maryjane has spent over 20 years studying the patterns of the mind and the patterns of Nature via yogic development, permaculture design and living remotely in Nature
Having throughly manifested her dreams, she discovered there is more to life than ticking all the boxes and is now dedicated to walking the joyful path of realising non-separation and endless belonging.
Long times spent sitting alone in remote forest has given her insight to our ancient way of being, of the body as a listening instrument, literally part of all the environment around. Being Nature.
Watching Nature has taught her how to imitate the forest and the stream, how to use emotion that we would normally want to push away as a transformative, renewable resource for clarity, empowerment, connection, security and joy.
Maryjane now shares the loving acceptance, the indiscriminate ‘ThankU’ and endless belonging of the forest with passionate, dedicated and devoted Beings all over the world.
May We Always Believe In Each Other.
May We Always Aim Towards What Our Hearts Know Is Possible.
May We Always Inspire Each Other To Go Further.
Beloved…
Thank you for your unique and valuable part in our journey.
