Everything starts to look different, feel different. I didn't expect that. After the first two lessons, I called my friend and I said, you HAVE to take this class.
Tessa
It’s helped me become more calm, clear and confident. It’s also helping me to strengthen my decision-making & my intuition.
Reshma
I feel like I’m never alone, even if I'm the only person around - that is a huge gift. The practice has also helped me find beauty.
What it mean for you to experience more:
Imagine waking up with a warm-hearted sensation—a knowing of the preciousness of this moment. To be able to experience another day of vibrant, aligned peace—not just on rare occasions, but as your default state.
Creative Resourcefulness [maybe we need a better term for this I think ]- elaborate - instead of so much Depletion from the noise, the overstimulation and from fearing that the great challenges of our time may beinsurmountable .Profound wellbeing - elaborate - instead of so much Heartbreak from refusing to look away from the pain of the world, and the harm we are doing to each other and to the Earth.Meaningful Alignment - elaborate - instead of so much Frustration from the dissonance between the coherence they find in nature, and the misalignment of their everyday lives.
Why this matters.
When you cultivate this soulful relationship with the Earth, everything changes — not just your mood, but the way you spend your time, the way you show up for others, and the way you care for the world.
This isn't a personal indulgence. It’s a vital part, of our ability to be able to, not only stop, but actually reverse this life-depleting momentum of injury we are experiencing, transforming it into a life-enriching cycle of healing and regeneration.
This is for you if you long to feel whole again — to live as the same soulful, aligned version of yourself in everyday life that you are on the trails or under the stars.
This is for elephants. For you to be able to take are of them, in the way of your highest aspirations.
This is for all beings. For generations to come.

Have we met?
Hi, I’m Natasha Deganello Giraudie.
Nature will be our teacher. I’m happy to be your guide, advisor and mentor.
I am a child of the Caribbean, the rainforest, and the tepuyes of Venezuela. I raised my daughter among the Redwoods and the Pacific Ocean of Northern California.
As an expecting mother, I was shocked to realize the amount of overwhelm, exhaustion and misalignment that I had come to accept as normal. I was not willing to accept that this would become the soundtrack of my baby’s life. This led me on a journey, to extend the soulful sense of meaning, belonging, and alignment that I had touched in nature, into our everyday life.
In developing what later became the Nature Practice method, I began to retrace and expand upon three beloved threads of my life:
❀ Himalayan traditions from two decades of study with the Dalai Lama and nature retreats with Thich Nhat Hanh.
❀ Indigenous wisdom from a lifetime of learning from and collaborating with elders and wisdom keepers a number of tribes throughout the Americas.
❀ Creative expression from my work as a filmmaker of award winning projects, and for my personal explorations of sketching, poetry, and song.
Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of guiding more than a thousand of Earth lovers—from all corners of the world, across different backgrounds, heritages and spiritual traditions. I have also taught a nature practice course at Stanford University and led workshops for the United Nations, the Dalai Lama Fellows, Yosemite’s NatureBridge, One World Ayurveda in Bali, and others.
I look forward to getting to know you and helping you share your natural peace with the world.

Inspired by a tiny colibrí.
The hummingbird taught me that I didn’t have to leave my life behind to access my peaceful, grounded presence. I didn't have to move to the forest or become a monk.
I could simply open my door and take regular, soulful sips of nature—right where I am.
That’s why the Nature Practice method is designed to fit into real life—just 25 minutes or less per day to nurture deep, lasting peace.
