Wonder Treks
Experimental excursions designed to explore our distinct power to create within Flow States of Coherence. All participants will first complete a Grounding Journey before venturing into the wilderness for deep listening, deep play, and deep trust with the intention to strengthen our relationship with the nature within and around us.
Flow States of Coherence
Flow States of Coherence are direct experiences of accessing our strengths and taking action with an underlying sense of freedom and joy.
These states can be discovered and nurtured through careful attention to how our strengths interact within their environments. Through honoring our strengths and carefully experimenting with the ways in which they flow in our lives, we build our capacity to meet the unknown.
Wondering Inquiry
Through experimentation and our deep noticing framework, we can nudge individual strengths from the mind into the lived experience, moving away from the abstract and into embodiment.
Our motivation to gather is the direct experience of the individual’s (you, me) power to create beauty and connection from an inner stillness. The beauty and the connection are
a collective well-being,
a growing from me to we,
a stabilizing of the mind and heart to lead
an imagining of new possibilities
creating an inner and outer environment of healing and safety- no matter the uncertainties we face.
Working Hypothesis
Flow States of Coherence are embodied, which is the felt sense of movement in the body and the field surrounding the body. Nature and natural environments assist the embodiment process through the direct experience of a living ecosystem.
Our participants will complete a Grounding Journey prior to hitting the trail. This experience brings the opportunity to observe your strength and existing embodied knowledge. Through this process, questions often naturally arise that only your strength and wisdom can answer.
As humans, merging awareness of “known knowns” and sensing “unknown unknowns” is a dynamic process in which we meet the edge of our previously known experience. Upon formulating specific inquiries and hypotheses (guides are here to help), we are ready to experiment and observe.
Experiment & Observe
Experiments may be about
art: with land, with media we carry in, with word
silence: in rest, in meditation (guided or not)
stillness: let's find out what this is like!
co-creation: making, witnessing, sharing
sound: human, water, bird, chimes,
embodiment: what is felt in the body?
movement/somatic experiences: yoga, qi gong
other things we haven't imagined but are eager to hear about!
Meet the team
Christine and Mar'ce found each other a few years ago in a zoom breakout room. Mar'ce shared from her direct experience with listening deeply to the natural world. Christine shared her love of all things strengths and nature. Embodied spirit and science started to vibe together.
We trust our past experiences and present awareness and practices to inform us in our deep care, guidance, nurturing, and experimental invitations. Our intention is to directly and indirectly benefit other humans and, expansively, to increase our experience of kinship with all our fellow beings.
