Nature is longing for our renewed participation.

Meet Maria Rosa Galter, Soul Guide and Nature-Connected Life Coach, graduate of the Benedictine Spiritual Formation Program and student at Earth Based Institute. Before becoming a Life Coach, she worked in the non-profit sector doing international development in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. During that time, she founded “Into Your Hands-Africa” and later became the Executive Director of AfricAid and Africa Network for Animal Welfare.

After ten years of focused involvement in international development, she chose to travel down a different path. Seeking to fulfill her longing for greater purpose and connection, she enrolled in a two-year directed discernment process within the Episcopal Church. After this discernment period, she felt called to work “outside the walls” of any structures and bring people directly into an intimate experience of Nature.

Remember Our Ancient Connection to the Land

Maria feels the earth is longing for us. And we are being invited to come back to this place of connection in Nature. As a Nature Connected Life Coach, she guides participants to explore this longing, this desire, this heartbreak to reconnect with nature.

The Hindu notion that “the universe is God’s playground” suggests that we, too, can rediscover our capacity for play. Listen to how she combines work and play and the sense of freedom that arises. In Maria’s view, there can be no failure when we are fully absorbed in the purposefulness of our lives.

Walk2Connect

A beautiful way to refrain our relationship to work is to be engrossed in the purposefulness in the work we do. In that regard, she participates in Walk2Connect, which is a co-operative offering connection-focused walking experiences nationwide and in London.

People who respond to her message of finding purpose through Nature are those who feel a nudge inside themselves, a longing, to reconnect directly with Nature. A significant transition in their lives may be compelling them to seek answers. They know they want to walk in the world in a different way: to create a new mythic image through the process of transformation.

She and Jennifer Reeve team up to offer events that weave together the feminine movements of Qoya with Full Moon practices.

Nature Practices

Maria shares with us two practices we can do in Nature. First is the Medicine Walk – a way of walking in Nature that allows us to be tuned by Nature, to open to our own creativity and wisdom and get clarity on a question in our lives. The second practice is the 360 Listening practice designed to help us gain insight into the next steps in our lives. Listen now to learn how…
