Nurture Nature Within - A Mindful Nature Healing Experience

What is a “Mindful Nature Healing Experience”?

A self paced and conscious experience during which your guide will offer a series of invitations to reconnect you to what is within while connecting to the natural world.
Unlike a hike, there is no final destination or expectation, which allows space for self-exploration and reflection. This opens up the opportunity to gain self-awareness through our senses rather than through the guide’s agenda. The healing journey begins and continues as an organic experience; it starts simply by tuning in to the pace of nature externally and connecting to the nature within.
A body of well-respected research has shown multiple physiological and psychological benefits, from lowered blood pressure, reduced stress, and boosted immune functions to increased focus, clarity, and creativity.

Authentic
Experiences

"I recently spent four days with Isaac on a retreat in the mountains of North Carolina. In the time spent with him, I felt a strong sense of connection, comfort & empowerment. It was the first time I was stepping into a container like this and Isaac held me like a true brother the whole way through. He is kind, knowledgeable and easy to work with. I felt I could be my most authentic self while sharing space with him. After our time in nature, I had to return to reality. Isaac continued to reach out and support me with my reintegration process. For anyone looking to heal in nature with a true leader, Isaac is a great choice! I trust him entirely and have a great deal of respect for the way he treats others and for the work he is doing."

~Jonathan K.

"Isaac has a deep knowledge of nature and an innate understanding of the healing powers of wilderness. He is unlike anyone I know, from rescuing fish in drying streams to knapping arrowheads from raw flint. He's in touch with the natural world and guides people into a deeper understanding of what is inside while connecting to nature from a deeper perspective."

~ Sunny Jay

"In these modern times of distraction and desire for gratification, the natural world provides us a haven of reflection, enabling us to consider our profound connection to all. Isaac will meet you in this place and guide you along your path of healing."

~ Mark (REI Guide)

"I've noticed a positive change in my being ever since I sat with Isaac under the Full Moon. "

~Roberto

"I have had the wonderful opportunity to venture out on the trail multiple times with Isaac and am always so impressed by his connection to his surroundings. It is always very apparent that Isaac has a deep connection to the plants and animals no matter where he goes. From identifying animal tracks, saving horseshoe crabs, snow camping or hiking in the tropics, you will be sure to learn something new from him. His love for the natural world radiates in all that he does."

~ Concolor

"Thank you so much Isaac for making space for me during our session. Through your demonstration of the bull-roarer and burning bowl ceremony, I let go of a lot of personal resistance to make powerful moves and was able to transition through perceived difficult changes much more organically. I definitely closed a chapter in my life and am now enjoying new realities that I did not imagine before. The intimacy and connection that I have with myself and others is deeper and I am really enjoying and appreciating my life more. Thank you for your guidance, company and kindness. Your energy is a true blessing!"

~ Marilyn Perez

"Not only was my son deeply changed by his time at Open Sky but my husband, daughter, and I are better people because of the work we did during this time." ~ Julie W.A.

"Isaac is like a brother. He sees the best in me and offers wisdom with humor, sincerity and raw truths about the nature of our life journey on Earth. He's active with his own self-work and shares what he's learned to help others on their journeys."

~ Beto

"The guides are truly the secret sauce, the unsung heroes... they lived and loved our kids in the dirt, elements, and the peaks, and valleys of their journey both literally and figuratively." ~ OS Parent

Learn More About Nurture Nature within

Mankind has spent most of its existence connected to earth in primitive ways that supported an awareness of our galaxy, the creatures living among us, and of the elements that make life as we know it, possible. Unfortunately, in society today, many of us spend very little time outdoors connecting with nature. Sadly, scientific evidence suggests that this has led to a host of diseases due to the lack of movement, dietary choices, stress and the reduction of green spaces.

Choosing first to acknowledge that we are all growing and transforming each and every moment is the first step to our healing journey. Welcoming the opportunity for NNW to be a part of your healing journey will open an opportunity for you to be supported in a safe space and allow us to join you on your journey as we provide guidance along the path.
