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…

Are You Ready to Connect with Divine Essence?

This intuitive healer Jennifer Reeve aims to connect participants with their divine essence through movement, inward journeys and nature. Providing a supportive community, she works with guides and angels to offer a unique combination of energy healings and intuitive readings designed to open us to living life to our fullest potential.

Jennifer also teaches Qoya and yoga, facilitates moon circles and guided meditations, and co-leads nature wanders. Her work is guided by the belief that the voice, power and magic of the FEMININE  are needed on earth now more than ever before.  

Follow Your Own Heart-Whispers

After developing her public relations career in education, Jennifer reached a point in her life when she wanted to do something that would help others on their inner journey. The moment she began her quest to follow this intention, opportunities started presenting themselves. As she said YES, her new path continued to unfold.

Offering the practices she uses in her own life to remember her divine essence, Jennifer helps us get out of our mind-space and connect through our heart. With breath and movement, she guides practices that lead us to access our inner wisdom for a greater sense of freedom, joy and peace.

Who Comes to This Energy Healer?

Loved, Supported and Held

What guidance does Jennifer consistently receive? In virtually every reading, Jennifer is shown to remind people that they are loved, supported and held. She invokes the energy of the Divine Mother who wraps her arms around us and says, “It’s going to be ok. You are loved. You are important. And you are divine.”

In our culture, we tend to underestimate how much we contribute to raising the vibration of the earth. In truth, our positive efforts contribute greatly to balancing the overall health of the planet. So needed right now, this gentle guidance supports us in our freedom to make whatever choices we want to make to fulfill our lives.

Wise, Wild and Free

By dancing Qoya in community with like-minded women, we remember our essence through movement of the body: that we are wise, wild and free. Which movements draw us into our wisdom? Our wildness? Our freedom? The freedom to…

• Dance our own dance
• Enjoy being in the physical body
• Feel the movement
• Find pleasure in the moment

All of this is healing. Qoya gives us permission to explore the shadow and experiment with its energy before releasing into the light. The same themes that stretch our bodies also apply to mind and heart. Strength, flexibility, trusting oneself: often the same themes Jennifer is working with in her own life.

Qoya literally has changed her life. It enhances her ability to receive spontaneous messages and follow her heart. Discovering her own inner knowing and tuning into how her body is feeling has been truly life changing. No longer needing to shut off her feelings for safety, she allows them in. This is the wisdom she shares with others.

Jennifer is a healing guide, directing those of us who work with her toward embodying our divine essence through movement, meditation and energy healing. These practices will…

lift you up, allow you to fly in your own way and encourage you to remember your wings.

Providing Pathways to Inner Peace

Dr. Hafiz Neil Rothenberg is a professor in Organizational Behavior at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada. A mureed and teacher in the Inayatiyya for over 40 years, his goal is to demystify spiritual practice for everyday life. An expression of Universal Sufism, the Inayatiyya is an organization devoted to bringing spirituality into life. A mureed is someone who has taken initiation into the spiritual practices of its Inner School.

Neil received his Sufi name with the Persian poet Hafiz in mind. The name Hafiz means “the protector, the all-watching, the ever-preserving”. In keeping with his character, Hafiz Neil Rothenberg is dedicated to preserving the traditions of the Inayatiyya.

Urgent Need of Youths Today

Inspired by what he perceives as the urgent need of today’s young adults, Hafiz has discovered ways to incorporate meditation instruction into his course curriculum. Seeing a transformation in how society views meditation, he attributes much of the change to the mindfulness movement that has been highly successful in bringing meditation into society.

Fidgeting Students Get Shocked!

In fact, it was a “shocking” experiment revealing how distracted the younger generation has become that made clear to Hafiz this imperative to teach meditation to his students. He finds correlations between mindfulness and several organizational behavior concerns:

• stress management
• perception
• motivation
• conflict resolution

Based on his research, he now incorporates modified mindfulness meditation practice into his course curriculum at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

Recently, he founded an organization dedicated to bringing spirituality into daily life called RU Mindful. This group engages and supports faculty and staff at Ryerson University who teach, research and/or practice mindfulness. In a discussion of three different modes of thinking, Hafiz shares simple ways to become familiar with our mind and body.

Who else will take on his challenge to our listeners:

Can you observe the monkey mind, this unconscious flow of thoughts?

Can you become the watcher?

Hafiz reveals what he sees as the greatest need of people today: inner peace. True to his name and nature, he offers listeners a practice they can do to calm the mind. To overcome the challenge of creating new, lasting habits, he suggests a way to stay consistent with practice, even when engaged in a busy life.

For insight into the mind, body and soul, listen now to this engaging watcher, protector and “demystifier” of spiritual practice. You can email him with any questions at Hafiz Neil Rothenberg.
