Discovering sacred connections in our environments With Author Julia Star

December 17 @ 6:00 pm – 7:15 pm Pacific Time

Join us for a fascinating exploration with author and Clinical Counselor Julia L. Star, as she introduces us to Soul Catching, a practice that helps us discover deeper connections with the living world.

Psychedelic experiences often open us to a profound sense of connection with nature and everything around us. But how can we bring that awareness into our everyday lives?

Soul Catching is a collaborative practice of discovering the deeper connections between our inner and outer worlds. Through meaningful encounters with nature, animals, plants, people, and the events of everyday life, we begin to recognize the ways life reflects hidden aspects of ourselves that are waiting to be discovered, understood, and embraced.

As we cultivate appreciation, respect and love for the natural world, our relationship with it changes, and our presence becomes part of the relationship itself. We move from being consumers and marauders of environmental resources to becoming conscious stewards and collaborators with the living Earth.

This is a relational practice. I hear the bee, and my noticing influences myself and the bee.

This is a transformative way to bring the world into our mind-opening journeys. We will practice this procedure during the event and have time for Q&A.

Join us to explore how connecting with the world around us can transform both the world we inhabit and ourselves.
