a Personal Note
from alison
Thank you for considering me as your mentor on your journey to discover your purpose.
My own journey began in 2007 when I began training as a naturalist mentor. Although I had always enjoyed spending time outside, I was blown away by the depth of nature connection that I experienced. As my own naturalist journey deepened, I became aware of the inner growth that emerged as a result of building intimacy with the natural world. It was as though every time I discovered more about the ecology around me, I became more aware of the inner ecology within myself.
Eager to share this experience with others, I co-created and directed a nature connection program for youth where I worked for 10 years. While I found this work fulfilling in many ways, I still felt the big questions sneaking up on me, “is this it?”, “Is there more that I have to offer the world?”. As these questions began to grow louder, the everyday aspects of life that I had always accepted began to feel uncomfortable, too small, or fell away completely. I began to look for support and worked with life and career coaches, therapists, mindfulness teachers, and somatic experience experts. While they all had helpful tools to share, none of them were able to fully offer what I needed. I still felt incomplete and lost in the world.
Finally, on my 40th birthday I participated in a vision quest program that opened the gates to my own soul purpose journey. I felt like I was rediscovering myself and my place in the world, I felt alive again. And, I felt the potency of my nature connection practices supporting my soul journey, along with the other tools I had gained. I have put these tools and practices together to create the 12 week 1:1 Nature Based Purpose Discovery Program. I would have loved for someone to take me through the program I’ve created and I am excited to offer it to you now. I hope you will join me on what may be the most important journey of your life, to discover the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.
Best,
Alison

Alison offered me exquisite guidance and support as I delved into the sea beyond conscious thought to explore my soul's calling. I am farther on this journey, and more enriched having had her deep, attuned, heartful, enthusiastic presence. Alison's joyful curiosity was the perfect company for this journey, and I will forever feel grateful for our time together.

Working with Alison gave me the insight and courage to free myself from work and relationships that were numbing my spirit. More importantly, the purpose work returned me to nature, joy, life, and connection to soul.
