Intuitive Listening
Listening is a hard skill, especially when emotions are running high. Learn skills that can take you from listening deeply to intuitive listening to understand the core of what's needed in a conversation to move forward safely.
We start with creating a safe container for our healing centered learning environment by engaging in Conscious Relationship Building, understanding our community's Systems of Accountability, and forming genuine connection in community.
Go beyond hearing and listening to subtle messages and shifts in energy within a conversation. This is a skill that takes your ability to connect to someone beyond the surface and tune into their emotion while managing your own sacred space for wellness.
Develop these skills to know what it truly feels like to give your full attention to someone without compromising your own needs and energy. This skills can cultivate profound ways to shift the direction from de-escalation into empowerment.

What is nature-based coaching?
Using this unique form of coaching means tapping into the knowledge of nature's systems to find the guidance to feel whole, seen, and heard. In nature-based coaching we lean into the basic elements of nature - Earth/Air/Fire/Water as metaphors to the answers we search for to be live better lives.
When we look to nature we can
- source a place that is judgement free and always supportive
- learn about the ways nature heals itself and apply that to our own lives
- find restorative ways to heal trauma and create systems that are more aligned with nature's law of coming back into balance
- understand that we are multidimensional beings and access more tools & resources beyond the material or intellect
- function from a place of cycles/seasons rather than deadlines,
- focus on process vs. production
-
go into dreaming vs. holding expectations
With the support of this course and community you'll
- discover deeper ways of connecting to others & identify core needs to begin with clarity
- develop ways for you to keep a safe & supportive care in any conversation
- begin a practice of reconditioning yourself to know that you have more abilities than previously thought
- shift how you handle emotionally challenging conversations
- form a critical lens to the importance of implementing a healing centered and restorative way of listening

What the community is saying...
"Raynelle is such a treasured spirit. From individualized attention to navigating tensions of group dynamics, she makes everyone feel seen and heard. She takes her time to meet people where they are at, and walks along side them to uncover their own powers within themselves. In my own personal journey to healing, she has connected me back to myself, rerooted me in the earth, and reminded me of my ancestors. She will move you too, if you are intentional with what you're seeking.
