WAYS: Tools for living in the Green Zone
The Ways, in Earthwalk Ways, are ways we learn to listen to ourselves, our lives and nature for the clues to the soul movements within us. They are the best Ways to go through the passages and squeezes life brings with a little more faith and grace. They are the ways to face and feel the trauma’s without retraumatizing; They are ways to befriend ourselves and activate our spiritual guidance system (SGS) to embody awakening, and integrate everything, all of the ancestral trauma’s all of our personal and collective traumas where we unconsciously programmed ourselves to separate even more. These can all be healed which is critical for the future of humanity on earth.
Earthwalk “Ways” programs are divided into 3 basic categories of Deep Listening, Soul Whispering, and Natural Communion. These Ways all work synergistically together to create a new way of BEING in our lives on the earth. It is radical and Evolutionary. It is caterpillar into butterfly, it is transformation of the self as we understand it. I invite you on this journey that is necessary for us all to create the new earth and fulfill life’s call to our unique path.
Natural Communion Nature Programs are amazing. Nature always guides and teaches and holds us through whatever we are feeling or dealing with. She also helps us discover our relationship to the ecological and sacramental aspects of Mother Nature. We have largely been uprooted from daily life in a natural setting and our sensitivities have atrophied. We live in a thinking realm and nature lives in a sensory, feeling realm. Nature can restore something very vital to us, a sense of being, receptivity and trusting inter-connectivity. Nature helps us Lose our Minds and Come to our Senses.
There is a growing and significant body of research that is showing us that much of modern disease, ie. stress, can be seen as the effect of “Nature Deficit Disorder.” This new healing modality is called Forest Bathing or Forest Therapy but I was doing this before it was imported from Shinrin Yoku of Japan. I called it Natural Communion. It is a wonderful form of Contemplative Mindfulness in Nature.
3 Day Immersion Experiences in a group or solo. Send me an email to get on a waiting list and help chose the dates. earthwalkways@gmail.com
Many people also enjoy a 3 day solo communion experience or Passage Rite in Nature. This is a wilderness adventure, or you can tame it down but still reap many benefits with a 3 day nature retreat with a stay in a cozy trailer or bnb room. You can take a day trip following the natural labyrinth of Enchanting Run, down to the Rappahannock River. This is a great nature communion walk on your own or guided, that lets you listen to Natures guidance. Darlene will start you off with instructions and practice.
The Art of Deep Listening is a lost art. We learn to listen with our whole being, and we learn to listen to our sensory moment to moment ongoing flows. Deep introspection through the energetic and emotional dynamics within us. As we learn to listen in this way, we discover our deepest wisdom and love. This Listening is learned through Natural Communion but it is also learned by listening to our inner soul movements, and listening to all our inner voices, and listening to each other in deeper ways as well. There are many practices that help us learn the Art of Deep Listening that we offer here on retreat and in groups. Embodied movement and dance, music, meditation, breathwork and the Pathwork Process.
The Art of Soul Whispering is about your life experience and your personal story here on earth, which is a reflection of the inner landscapes of your soul. Discovering the relationship between your life experience and the soul journey is what frees us to experience a life of fulfillment and meaningful learning.
We need our soul to whisper to our inner child, and take over the responsibility of taking care of ourselves. We need to awaken our self love in a healthy way so we can have resilience in the face of life’s challenges. We need to place our dependency needs on the ultimate source of life and begin to see the Divine unfolding in everything.
As we remember the intelligence of life beyond the rational mind, we begin to see the whole of it and recognize that much more is going on than we had imagined. That we are in fact much more than we had imagined.
Taken together, the Art of Deep Listening, Soul Whispering and Natural Communion, is a complete program that is deeply nurturing, transformative and awakening, offering healing for us and for Mother Nature.

More on the Art of Soul Whispering
Taught in individual and group formats in person or on zoom. The foundation of this work is based on the Pathwork of Self Transformation. This is a contemporary Path of Embodied Awakening that includes trauma and emotional process work. We embody our human and our divine aspects and learn to awaken to the Presence of the Higher Self and ground or firm ourselves in the Divine while holding the human with love and compassion. We learn tenderness for ourselves and each other, as we feel more of our truth and experience.
The Pathwork is a great Map of Life and each person’s life is the territory. The Map’s help you navigate the territory of wherever you find yourself in your life at this moment.
It helps us realize how we are holding on to old unassimilated pain that is preventing us from going forward. The Pathwork helps us navigate our way through that and free ourselves. As we see through a different lens, life takes on a whole new meaning and wonder. Your life and all Life.

I also offer Ceremony and Ritual
I am a qualified celebrant and ordained minister and I can work with you to design your marriage ceremony, or teach you how to use ceremony for life transitions, healing, and community. Ceremony has long been part of Natural Communion and The Art of Soul Whispering.
I also write music that is in praise of nature and spirit. We use this music and other chants, rounds, and songs of spirit and nature, in fire circles and ceremony and for breathwork. Native Flute and Guitar, djembe’s, rattles, tom toms and digeridoos are also a part of the retreat orchestra for fire circles and ceremonies. You can listen on my Sound cloud station.
