About Us - Nurture Nature Within

A little About
Nurture Nature Within

Nurture Nature Within (NNW) welcomes the opportunity for individuals or groups to reconnect with themselves through nature in a way that supports healing and growth using tools and practices from the combined experience of Nature Guides, Survivalists, and the teachings of the Kripalu Mindful Outdoor Leadership program. These tools can help manage stress and provide healthy ways to integrate a conscious way of living into our everyday lives. This allows us to reestablish a reciprocal relationship with the earth.

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.

NNW helps us tap into an awareness of our internal nature by awakening the senses through meditation, breathing exercises, and conscious movement. As our senses awaken, we can begin to truly receive the many healing properties of nature. As we nurture our healing process through nature, we begin to sync with the earth in a beautiful way in which we are intended.

Our mission is to spread this awareness to all of mankind. It doesn’t matter where you live, work, or journey in life; you can always tap into the elements of nature and become one with the harmony and rhythm of the earth. It starts with nurturing the nature that lies within.

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

ON PERSPECTIVE

“Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water. The moon does not get wet, nor is the water broken. Although its light is wide and great, The moon is reflected even in a puddle an inch wide. The whole moon and the entire sky Are reflected in one dewdrop of grass.” —Dogen
