Inner Forest School was created for people who feel called to live—and work—in alignment with inner and outer nature.

For those who sense that the “normal” path through life isn’t enough.

Who feel belonging and connection in the whispers of nature.

Who know, however consciously or subconsciously, that their work should feel meaningful.

We exist to support people in shaping lives and livelihoods that feel alive and authentic—guided by intuitive wisdom, grounded in real skill, and rooted in relationship with the natural world.

This is not about escaping life. It's about stepping more fully into it.

Nature As Co-Teacher

At Inner Forest School, nature is not a backdrop to our lives. It's not just forests, mountains, deserts, and lakes—though we love these things deeply.

Nature is a living web of life that we are part of.

The same current that shapes seasons and tides moves through the human body, mind, and heart.

The same intelligence that guides ecosystems lives within us, too.

Nature is not only around us. It is within us. 

Through meditation, contemplation, and reflective writing, we learn to listen to that current. To live from it. And to teach alongside it.


Who We Are For

Inner Forest School is for people who are quietly rejecting:

  • The hamster wheel

  • Societal definitions of what's important

  • Work that feels disconnected from who they are

  • Disconnected ways of living and consuming


 And who are standing for:

  • Alignment

  • Integrity

  • Work that feels alive

  • Meaningful contribution

  • Deep connection to self and the natural world


Some of our students are transitioning out of corporate careers.

Some are retired and ready to share the wisdom they've gathered.

Some are building soulful side practices.

Some are growing full-time, nature-based, soul-led businesses.

All feel called to offer something of heart and soul—to create meaningful experiences for their communities through meditation, nature-based practice, and reflective writing.

Origin Story

Years ago I was told I had a choice: to choose between a stable, "normal" path and the less certain road of creativity and soul. Despite the discomfort of uncertainty, the anxiety and depression of doing what society expected of me was far worse—so I chose alignment. It wasn't a romantic road to walk, nor were it's fruits immediate. But through intuition, commitment, trial and error, I've built something sustainable rooted in what I cared about most—nature, contemplation, and writing. Inner Forest School is the manifestation of that, here to support you in doing the same. To walk your own path of alignment.
