To see all of Nature as sacred and as a part of ourselves engenders respect and responsibility.
— Elizabeth Jenkins
Are you seeking hope, empowerment, and a deeper connection to the natural world — especially in light of the current global and climate crisis?
By cooperating within this larger living system, you can receive help and guidance — and understand that no matter how small your family, no matter how many people you may have lost, no matter how old you are, you will always have a mother and father here on Earth, says Elizabeth Jenkins, a licensed psychotherapist and anointed teacher of the Inka Nature Wisdom Tradition of the Q’ero people of South America.
Not just because, like many, you’ve created a chosen family among your friends and community, but because, according to the Q’ero people, you’re born with four parents — two of whom don’t grow old, don’t get weaker or slow down with age, will never divorce, and will never leave you.
These are the “nature parents” you were born with, unique only to YOU — your Mother Water and Father Mountain — and, based on the Q’ero worldview, which emphasizes a profound connection to a living and conscious natural world, they are your relatives. The Q’eros see this spiritual connection and the accompanying wisdom as essential for achieving wholeness, happiness, and fulfillment.
As we navigate the current climate crises, Elizabeth believes that our rampant grief and sadness are largely rooted in the pain of living WITHOUT the love of our nature parents.
Over the last several decades, Elizabeth has cultivated deep personal relationships with masters of the Q’ero tradition and their families, who long ago gave her permission to live and work on their land and share their teachings.
The teachings about our nature parents are one of Elizabeth’s greatest comforts, so part of her mission in the world is to assist people in connecting with their own nature beings... and she can help you discover who yours are.
Your human identity, Elizabeth asserts, flowers through the love and guidance of all four of your parents. Your human parents give you your body and your life, while your nature parents provide the wisdom and living energy required to fulfill your unique destiny.
They can give you a profound sense of the connection, the support, and the miraculous aliveness and natural beauty that’s available to you every day! They hold your “gold and silver storehouses of abundance” to provide what you need on every level.
Knowing your nature parents not only gives you a concrete way to express your devotion to nature, but also to understand that you belong to the Earth. It helps you stop objectifying or using nature for your own convenience, and instead take care of nature as you would your own human parents.
Join Elizabeth in a profound hour-long event to explore Andean cosmovision and the teachings and practices of the Q’ero people. You’ll begin to discover who your nature parents are!
You’ll experience a new way of perceiving the world as a sacred geography through the eyes of the Q’eros. It’s a journey of deepening your inextricable and reciprocal connection with nature — through cooperation and communication with your Mother Water and Father Mountain spirits, who are here to help us if we ask.
One very beautiful, simple, and primal example of our reciprocity with nature is how we receive oxygen from nature when we take our first breath in this life. And, when we die, our final exhale gives carbon dioxide back to the natural world.
Elizabeth will guide you to feel the true essence of nature, which is alive and conscious and poised to respond and guide you. When we come to know and apprecaite nature, we have more support, more love, and more fun!
You’ll start to feel the DNA of the land on which you were born within you, and realize that, if there are special places in nature or stretches of land that feel like home to you, it’s because your nature family lives there!
One of the most important principles of the Q’ero people is the re-sacrelization of nature, and during this hour with Elizabeth, she’ll guide you through a sacred exchange with the living energies of nature.
With this unique cultural insight into Q’ero spirituality, you’ll come to understand how you’re part of a sacred geography that guides and supports your spiritual evolution with wisdom and unconditional love.
When you participate in a constant life-giving exchange with nature, you’ll know that you’re never alone, making life feel more vibrant, loving, and, as Elizabeth likes to say, “delicious.”
