Mariposa

Nature Consciousness and Nature Mindfulness™

Mariposa connects spiritual practice with Nature’s principles and ethics to heal and transform humanity to Nature consciousness.

Mariposa (Spanish for Butterfly) describes this essential metamorphosis of human consciousness. While recycling, plant-based living, and decreasing human population  make dramatic changes, they do not directly disengage the psychological and cultural mechanisms which have generated ecological breakdown. Our Mariposa program offers Nature Mindfulness and meditation training, courses, and workshops.

The journey of Nature consciousness is an ancient path grounded in an ontology of unity, ways of knowing, being, and ethics where wholeness and multiplicity, visible and invisible, secular and spiritual are compatible and consonant. Humanity’s yearning for re-connection to Nature is a remembering of the universal awareness in which the entire cosmos participates. Nature consciousness involves transformation of self-identity in its most elemental way, a way of seeing, feeling, and being in love, not war, with Nature. It takes place in the invisible realms of consciousness, in the territory of contemplation.  The path to our true nature is Nature.
