Welcome. Come in out of the storm.

Warm yourself by the fire and I will tell you stories I gathered from your dreams and sing you songs I heard on the wind.

Do not linger on the threshold.

Leave your concerns at the mouth of the cave for your ancestors to widdle and knit.

Here, there is no time. There are only sunrises and sunsets, full moon nights and black starry nights. You can move slowly and wait for words from your heart to speak. You can yell or cry or thrash or dance, all of it is welcome here. 

The wilderness is more vast than you know and all possibilities are limitless. Can you cry as hard a a torrent? Scream as loud as crashing thunder? Shine as bright as a midday summer sun?

Can you drift like clouds and in doing so transform yourself from one moment to the next without holding on?

All is welcome here. It is safe. We can journey the wilds of the Earth or the wilds of our Soul. Mother Earth supports us and loves us. Encircled in our belonging, we are held.

Take your time. Whenever you are ready. I will be here waiting.

Do you wish your life had more spiritual meaning?

Do you yearn for a greater sense of belonging? 

Do you desire to inhabit yourself fully in a state of wholeness, acceptance and authenticity? 

Do you feel like there is never enough that you can do to help the earth?

Do you long for more magic in your life?

Are you called to be in soulful right relationship with the natural world?

All of Us Stardust offers courses in nature therapy, Intuitive EcoWriting and eco-spirituality, in-person forest bathing, retreats and online rituals for those who want to connect with the natural world and the divine in everything.

 

“I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teaching my blood whispers to me.” - Hermann Hesse

I'M JOHANNA

I live with my husband, teen daughter and dog off the grid in a home built of strawbales along the Rio Grande Gorge, a spectacular 800 foot deep canyon in northern New Mexico on the ancestral lands of the Red Willow People. I've been in New Mexico 19 years now, but I'm originally from the suburbs of New York City. So, a little bit different.

I prefer the rural life, being close to wild spaces, and that's part of the reason I became a certified Nature Therapy Guide. I also teach yoga and meditation. I'm a certified reiki practitioner and energy worker, as well as a published writer and digital artist. I have been teaching writing courses since 2002.

I combine all my skills into creating indepth course curriculum that translates esoteric ideas into easy systems so everyone-- urban, rural, outdoorsy or indoorsy-- can learn to reconnect to their wild soul.

MY STORY

 

Today, I am deeply connected to my intuition and the natural world and because of this I feel self-love, belonging, acceptance, ease and contentment that persists even when shit hits the fan.

But it hasn't always been that way.

In 2019, the universe decided my life needed a kick in the ass.

My daughter began going through puberty, and this once all-adoring child began to dissociate from me with a vengeance, leading to a spiral of motherhood grief.

I realized that my career in literary publishing that I had devoted myself to for the last 20 years and wrapped all of my identity around, did not make me happy anymore. 

I also lost my side-business of 10 years, selling vintage clothes, when my landlord kicked me out. The landlord happened to be my best friend, so yeah, that long friendship ended too.

Amidst all this, I found myself in a midlife transition (commonly referred to as a "crisis" for good reason.)

I started to see a therapist to help with my anxiety and other issues. Working through my traumas, shadows and childhood were all helpful and revealed how deep the problems went, so I could bring them to the surface.

But I still felt like something was missing, something important. I wanted desperately to reconnect with this missing piece.

I studied energy work, intuition, reiki, witchcraft, manifestation, yoga nidra, pranyama, flower essences, plant communication, taoism, sound healing, forest bathing, vision fasting, dreamwork, and so much more that I can't even remember them all. And this was just over the course of three years. It got to be a joke amongst my friends, wondering what I was going to do with all the certifications I acquired. And I honestly had no idea.

I was searching for answers. The answer finally came in the most unexpected way.

One day, while I sat with an ancient juniper tree not far from my house, I began speaking out loud all of the things that were upsetting me. I was unloading all of my burdens into what I believed at the time was just empty space. It didn't occur to me then that anyone was listening.

But I "heard" a voice back and sensed immediately it was the tree, "You are not these worries. You are so much more." I cried and cried and poured my tears into the soil and I thanked the tree because I believed it. I felt what the juniper said to be true.

This happened again amongst the sagebrush and then the flowers and then the river. Mother Earth spoke to me in meditation and told me how much I was loved. I had found the missing piece. It was the part of me that is nature, that longed to commune with nature, to hear my own deep wisdom and the wisdom of the natural world.

I immediately began exploring Nature Intuition. And there honestly isn't much out there, even if you do know what to look for. So I gathered everything I had learned in all of the classes I had taken and I figured out what worked and what didn't. 

Today, I am more at peace than I have ever been and I have a proven actionable system to help other people connect with their nature intuition. You don't have to go through a crisis to discover it. It's easier than you think.

Once I started communicating with nature, I discovered that the natural world longs to be in relationship with us just as much as we long to be in relationship with the natural world.

I sincerely believe that by teaching people how to access their own nature intuition, we can bring the world back into balance, be in right relationship with the earth and begin to heal not just ourselves but the planet.

Discover Your Nature Intuition
"We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change."

We believe...

We are nature.

Everything is divine.

Everything is interconnected.
