Welcome to Awakening the Eco-Soul

It is winged and it is hooved, it knows how to grow roots and fur. It is wild, authentic, and free. The Eco-Soul, the soul that is connected to the All, shares its destiny with the ancient forests and wild rivers – it too hungers for the solace of open spaces and salty oceans. And like the sacred Earth, it too is endangered.
—Mary Reynolds Thompson

When we awaken our eco-soul, our planet comes alive. And we come fully alive too. This site is an invitation to journey into the depths of your inner wilderness in order to restore your soul to its most thriving state. It holds that when you do so, you naturally help to create a world that flourishes as well.

The wounds of the world are the wounds of the human soul. Offering powerful insights into to how our inner and outer environments are mirror images of each other, this site awakens the seeker to the ways in which the human soul is suffering the same pollutions, devastations, and despoilments as the Earth itself. Only when we restore our own wild nature – the most creative and vibrant part of us – will we find the passion and purpose necessary to heal our wounded world.

In these pages you 'll find key aspects of my work. You 'll explore the five soulscapes™ that make up our internal and external landscapes; find nature poetry and other writing to inspire you to come to know your inner ecology; be introduced to my forthcoming book; and have an opportunity to sign up for a newsletter, keynote, or life coaching.

I will also share resources with you that have helped me to awaken to my eco-soul, the part of me that knows I share my destiny with wildness everywhere.

Awakening the Eco-Soul holds that the challenges we confront today have the potential to bring forth the most exciting, passionate, and vibrant awakening in human history, a soul journey like no other.
