EARTH PRACTICES 2026 with Rebecca Singer and Scott Williams
THE EARTH IS ALWAYS SPEAKING.
WE REMEMBER HOW TO LISTEN.
EARTH PRACTICES IS A YEAR-LONG, IN-PERSON JOURNEY INTO FORESTS, LAKES, MOUNTAINS, AND WEATHER — A WAY OF RETURNING TO THE INTELLIGENCE AND COMPANIONSHIP OF THE LIVING WORLD.
A PRACTICE OF ATTENTION.
A PRACTICE OF BELONGING.
A PRACTICE OF REMEMBERING YOURSELF AS PART OF EVERYTHING.
WHY THIS CLASS?
OUR CULTURAL DISCONNECT FROM THE EARTH IS AT THE ROOT OF SO MUCH:ILLNESS, ANXIETY, OVERWHELM, AND THE QUIET LOSS OF HUMILITY IN THE FACE OF THE LIVING WORLD.
EARTH PRACTICES INVITES YOU BACK INTO RELATIONSHIP —
WITH TREES, ROCK, WATER, SKY, ANIMALS, AND THE TURNING OF THE SEASONS. IT IS, IN A SENSE, A YEAR-LONG MARRIAGE TO THE EARTH.
THESE TEACHINGS COME FROM REBECCA’S NATURE-BASED LINEAGE AND HER 30+ YEARS OF GUIDING THIS WORK.
