New Nature Coaching has been a lot of things. It’s something that I’ve returned to again and again and again. However, I’ve never been able to get New Nature off the ground. Fits of starting and stopping; burning out; starting again; times of resentment and feeling like I’ve failed. After a ton of reflection, I’ve learned that New Nature Coaching just isn’t it for me...its not 100% authentically who I am nor is it what I really want to be building.
I’ve been trying to fit into a “nature coach” box when that just isn’t me...fully at least. There are large parts of me (shoutout to partswork!) that are so so WOO about the power of nature, and there are a lot of parts of me that feel so inauthentic in trying to speak about that power to others. I’ve been trying to embody a vibe that is something between a yogi and a forest bather when really my vibe is a sarcastic hotdog making dark jokes about capitalism and baja blast...just utter nonsense. So moving forward I’ll be leaning into the sarcasm with a heavy hand of nonsense while working to create my vision for coaching. So stay tuned and watch this space as it starts to transition into something that is a better reflection of what I can offer. Thanks, and stay neature!

Happy Wednesday y'all! Time to learn a thing from nature and this week we're chattin about moss!
Remember in last week's chat about lichen the one thing you really needed to understand was that lichen is not moss & moss is not lichen. They are fundamentally different organisms.
Moss is a full-blown plant, and the gossip around the plant kingdom is that mosses are the most ancient of plants. So moss is old, like evolved from algae around 450 million years ago old.

Moss is categorized as a non-vascular plant, meaning it has shallow roots (rhizoids), and they don't seed or produce flowers.
The shallow roots of mosses, called rhizoids, allow the plant to grow basically anywhere. Even on top of existing plants (ie: trees covered in mosses). Rhiziods are more for attaching than they are for drawing in nutrients like the roots of a vascular plant. Instead, mosses absorb their nutrients from the environment around them. They're able to adapt to the lay of the land and survive if they become "uprooted".

So, what I'm saying here is to worry less and experience more. What if you could be like the mosses in their little moss colonies just happy to absorb the environment knowing that they'll make it anywhere basically? Be the youest you possible and community will happen. Experience what's around you, and you will become present. Know that wherever you start to put down roots it's okay if they're rhiziods, you'll figure it out. You may start as a moss and evolve into a tree, idk. What I do know is that either way it is nature and magical.

Happy Wednesday y'all, time to learn a thing from Nature! This week we're chatting about LICHEN (lie-kin)! You know...that weird greenish flaky stuff you find on rocks or, for our friends in regions like the PNW, that swoopy, droopy, hair-like fuzz dangling from trees. Lichen looks a lot of ways outside of those two specific, but we'll keep it simple here.

Lichens are organisms that are also a partnership between fungi and alga. Yeah, like a partnership between mushrooms and that goop you find floatin around in the water. How that works is complex and like I said, we're keeping it simple here. Basically you need to know that lichens are not moss. We will talk about moss in a week or two -so stay tuned!

Lichens are extremely resilient. They color dry, harsh environments -like the alpine- with reds, yellows, and greens. With a little rain or moisture to restore their food supply, they can perform photosynthesis, producing more oxygen into our atmosphere. Lichen are also able to absorb pollution, including heavy metals, carbon, and sulfur, from the environment around them and live to see another day!

If you haven't picked up on it yet, lichens teach us about being resilient. Resilience is the ability to recover from adversity. You foster your own resilience by creating strong foundations in your life, both within yourself and in partnership, just like the lichen with fungi & alga. These foundations we can fall back or rest on to heal and recover. Having a strong foundation to foster resilience means being your most colorful & authentic self. You can produce better work and help make the world better than you found it.

Be like lichen and be resilient!

Happy Wednesday y'all! Time to learn a new thing from nature! This week the Alpine!

The alpine exist at high altitudes, above the treeline. Because is it so far above sea level, there is not enough carbon dioxide to sustain trees, not to mention the intense sunlight, high winds, and year-round low temps. The alpine environment is made up of small, sturdy ground trees (or shrubs), rocky terrain, some mosses & grasses, and a few species of ambitious wildflowers. She is intense, cold, jagged, and generally offers little to support life. However, she is STUNNING and, at the same time, fragile. Revealing cascading views and a delicate biome of life that has learned to thrive in some of the harshest conditions. The alpine is a landscape that is worth digging deep to experience, but she isn't for everyone. Some people don't want to put in the work it takes to figure out how to navigate to the summit to see the sunrise or be in awe of the ambitious wildflower. The work, it takes time and commitment to learning from the alpine about what knowledge and gear is needed to keep both the alpine and the explorer safe.
So, what can the alpine teach us about being human?
Well...have you ever sat a boundary or isolated yourself to keep yourself safe? The alpine is like setting a boundary. When that boundary is crossed it might feel like the harsh conditions of the alpine -intense, cold, jagged, fragile. It can hurt to have a boundary crossed and it is okay to let it hurt. That hurt teaches you what you need from people to allow them access to your energy, time, and love. Just like the alpine, you deserve relationships and communities that are full of respect and care. Relationships that have taken the time to get to know you and have the appropriate knowledge and gear to witness your cascading views and ambitious wildflowers.
So set those boundaries and kick out anything that isn't in awe of you.

Happy Wednesday y'all! Time to learn a new thing from nature! This week we're chattin about forests! Forests provide a complex environment in which different animals, plants, and insects all contribute to the success of the forest. Large, established trees clean the air, provide shade and cooler temps on warm days. They conserve warmth at night, absorb sound, and are homes for animals and birds. Smaller plants and trees create a shelter of sorts, a canopy, that protects the soil from erosion. Fungi decompose dead plants and leaves providing rich nutrients to replenish the soil. Animals, birds, and insects help plant seeds, aid in pollination, and eliminate parasites. Essentially, a forest is a community and an efficient one at that! This community provides something different for each of its inhabitants and in return the inhabitants provide for the community.

So, forests teach us about community. Communities are essential to us as humans. You've likely heard the phrase, "it takes a village...", this remains true even today when our communities are spread out all over the world. Our friends, families, neighborhoods, workplaces, and groups are all communities we associate ourselves with. Ideally, they help us grow into who & how we want to be by making connections, ridding us of behaviors or patterns that don't serve us anymore, and teaching us new ways of being. It is possible to outgrow a community or need to build a new one for whatever reason. This is natural and part of growing. Birds migrate, animals come of age and are sent off to start their own packs, therefore you can too.
Find your new nature where you are!
PS, can you spot the moose in this picture?!

Happy Wednesday y'all! Time to learn a new thing from nature! Here we have the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. So, remember last week when we chatted about canyons and erosion? Erosion is also at play here, but in a different way. The sand is the sediment that has eroded away. It's crumbled off the mountains it came from and settled in this valley - which was a lake at one point but we'll keep it simple here.
Through wind coming from all sides, blowing the sand back and forth and back again it creates the Dunes we know today. While this means sometimes the Dunes do migrate, the process as a whole maintains the overall amount of sand.
So, our lesson here is we can leave a place, emotionally or physically, that no longer serves us We find a new place and make it more magical than we ever dreamed.
We can also change and remain whole. We can shift parts of us to new places and then shift them again and still be completely whole.
Find your new nature, you can Dune it!

Y’all, let’s talk about canyons and what we can learn from them!
Canyons, or gorges, are formed by years of river erosion. Rivers are able to weasel their way into underlying surfaces, wearing away at the rock and sediments. Then, causally carrying these rocks and sediments downstream.
Canyons provide a unique environment and habit for all kinds of creatures. They heavily obstruct sunlight & warmth from different areas throughout the year. They show off layer upon layer of earth, revealing a natural history of the area.
All of this is to say that canyons teach us about patience. It takes time to whittle away at the layers of us to reach our core. Accepting each layer as it is before letting it drift downstream. It takes time to learn the patterns of our own sun, to understand where it will shed light and warmth and when.
Y’all, if nature can do it, you can do it! Because you are nature!
