Hi - I'm Natasha, creator of the Nature Practice method.
I'm a daughter of the Venezuelan Caribbean, adopted by the Californian redwoods.
Just when I thought I had integrated 20+ years of studying with the Dalai Lama and a lifetime of learning from Indigenous wisdom keepers, I experienced an unexplained heart attack without physical obstruction.
This led me on a journey to come closer to the Earth, heart-to-heart with her, to allow the generosity of her gifts, her wisdom and her healing to flow abundantly through me.
Today, I'm a Nature Practice advisor and mentor for people who are committed to the wellbeing of all beings. I guide them in rooting into profound peace, restoring natural reciprocity, and unfurling their intuition by deepening their relationship with the Earth — beyond spending time in nature.
The Nature Practice method has emerged from my life experience and has been shaped by the hundreds of nature lovers, changemakers, and caring humans I have worked with around the world.
I've had the pleasure of teaching Nature Practice at Stanford University and guided workshops and retreats for organizations including UNESCO, the Dalai Lama Fellows, One World Ayurveda in Bali, and NatureBridge at Yosemite. I also host of the Apple Top 20 podcast Nature Practice and am an award-winning documentary filmmaker. My films explore spiritual ecology have been broadcast on PBS, screened at the Smithsonian, and presented at UNESCO events. She was also a contributor to YES! Magazine.
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.
Would you like to contact me?
I look forward to hearing from you.
