Who is Nature’s Council?
ABOUT US
Nature’s Council is a group of practitioners, researchers, and activists working in the field of intuitive communication with Nature.
This includes and is not limited to animal and Intuitive Interspecies Communication (IIC). Love guides the work we do.
OUR AIM
We serve as an advisory council to organisations, groups, and individuals who seek direct counsel from Nature for projects that serve the greater good of all life.
To learn more, please see our FAQ page.
OUR CLIENTS
We welcome submissions from individuals, groups, and organisations who would like more-than-human voices included in their deliberations, decisions, and solutions. Examples include the restoration of wilderness areas and the protection of wild areas or specific habitats and species under threat.
PROJECTS
We seek to work with those ready to contribute to meaningful change. Once Nature’s Council has accepted a project, we engage in dialogue with Nature.
Our role is advisory: we provide guidance to support the individual, group, or organisation to foster positive outcomes for all involved, without implementing the solutions ourselves.
Who and What
is Nature?
Nature’s Council defines “Nature” as including humans in the more-than-human Interbeing, inviting the remembrance of our interconnection in service of the greater good of all life.
In an animist worldview that perceives all of existence as conscious, Nature includes everything in the universe, as everything becomes everyone. However, the work of Nature’s Council focuses on the Nature that is associated with Earth, both physical and beyond physical.
On Earth, Nature can be understood as a vast, intricate tapestry that encompasses the complex web of life, including all ecosystems, organisms, and natural processes.
It comprises all elements (air, fire, water, minerals), animals (humans and more-than-human), insects, plants, fungi and other microorganisms, each playing a vital role in maintaining ecological balance on planet Earth.
Beyond these visible life forms, Nature embodies the spirit of places – rivers, oceans, mountains, and forests – each infused with subtle energies and a unique essence. This deeper dimension of Nature can be seen as a sentient collective, reflecting a consciousness that connects all living things.
When we dialogue with Nature for projects, we engage in communication with different aspects of Nature, from the overarching intelligence of a particular species in an ecosystem, to the subtle energies that govern a landscape.
What is Nature Communication?
There are many definitions of Nature communication, as it is known by various terms.
One definition is that it is “…the ability that all humans have to fluidly and accurately converse with more-than-human nature using the expanded spectrum of human sensory awareness…” (von Diest, 2019).
When we communicate with Nature, we use a language that is beyond words, that works on a heart-based connection that transcends the separation barrier that humans have created between themselves and the natural world. We also work with our intuition in order to feel and sense what others are feeling and sensing.
From deeply profound messages, to practical physical issues, much can be gained in order to understand the more-than-human.
Regardless of the definition, many practitioners of Nature Communication agree on certain characteristics: it is immediate, independent of time and space, inherent in all humans (because humans are Nature, too), and can be developed by anyone willing to rekindle this ancestral ability.
Who is our Audience?
Anyone who is open to the possibilities of working with Nature Communication, and would like help in seeking counsel from Nature for the benefit of creating balance in the natural world, and harmonious co-existence.
This includes individuals, groups and organisations.
