While at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge, we were blessed to witness a family of River Otters swimming up a canal and then over a levee into a lake. I just wish I'd kept the camera rolling by the time they began to climb the bank!!! Soundtrack credit goes to the nearby Snow Geese symphony!


Ecology of Awakening is dedicated to supporting the sustained and embodied shift necessary to create resilient and thriving communities for future generations. We believe that if we are to create a world we know is possible – where the biological and cultural diversity of all beings is celebrated and honored within a thriving Earth – it is essential to awaken from the Western cultural story of separation and domination and awaken to a larger sacred story, rooted in belonging and interdependence. To facilitate this shift, we offer nature-based programs that weave together Earth-based wisdom, evolutionary science, deep ecology, somatic resiliency and the great wisdom traditions to guide us towards dissolving our borders and discovering our deepest belonging—to ourselves, each other, the Earth and the greater Mystery.
