About Natasha.
Natasha helps Earth lovers feel like themselves every day, not just on the trails, at the beach, or under the moon. The people she works with already prioritize time in nature, and yet they still feel frustrated, heartbroken, and depleted in the world. She guides them in restoring their Natural Self by deepening their relationship with the Earth, beyond spending time in nature. In this way, they can feel alive and at ease every day, and they can become more resonant instruments in service of the Great Healing of our times.
Natasha’s work emerges from an uncommon confluence: a lifetime learning from Indigenous elders throughout the Americas, twenty years studying with the Dalai Lama (later serving as Chairperson of the Dalai Lama Fellows), and her experience as an award-winning documentary filmmaker focusing on spiritual ecology.
The Nature Practice method is a soulful, doable framework that Natasha developed over a decade of guiding conservationists, outdoor educators, field scientists, farm managers, healthcare workers, and documentary filmmakers. It is also informed by an unexplained heart attack she experienced, which invited her to evolve her own practice in more regenerative ways.
Natasha grew up in Venezuela, and currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. She has taught this work as a course at Stanford University and led workshops for the United Nations, NatureBridge at Yosemite and One World Ayurveda in Bali, and for Women Who Walk with Elephants.
One word to heal our relationship with the Earth.
An uplifting short film I co-directed with Michael "Pom" Preston of the Winnemem Wintu tribe of Mt. Shasta.
It's based on one question:
What's one word from your ancestral language that changed your life and that you can offer to the next generation to heal our relationship with the world?
Appropriate for all ages. (20 mins.)
We respect your privacy.
Who's Rosa Guayaba?
I can't possibly take credit alone for the nature practice method.
It's a result of many generous whispers from the Earth.
Rosa Guayaba is my name for this collaboration.
Rosa Guayaba is the particular color of a ripe guava fruit. You say "dusty pink". I say "rosa guayaba." Saying those words connects me not only to a favorite color and a treasured taste of my beloved Venezuela. Rosa Guayaba is gratitude for the immeasurable gifts that nature offers us each day. Rosa Guayaba is the scent carried by the breeze, reminding us of who we are and what we are here for. Rosa Guayaba is reverence for the land, the water, the air, the fire and for all that is sacred.
This is what I look forward to helping you stay close to.
