Martha and Charlie create such a welcoming and calm atmosphere for a forest awakening experience…. Their gentle invitations helped me tune into life within my body, in the other-than-human environment nearby, and in the interplay between the two. Their warmth and open-ended questions during sharing times elicited unique and thoughtful sharings from all the participants, and it was very helpful to the depth of my own experience to hear the range of observation and insight experienced by the group as a whole.
