Go INTO the Forest to
meet with God ~ be still ~ learn to REST
Come OUT of your Wilderness
feeling worn out, weary, and wandering
Let's face it...The false "TRY HARDER," Self-Effort Gospel is NOT working!
You need REST, RENEWAL, REFRESHING, RECALIBRATION, and RESTORATION!
You can find that best in the stillness of nature connecting to your Heavenly Father.
If Jesus made it a point to retreat often to the "lonely places" in nature to hear from His Father, how much more do WE need that today?
Luke 5:16 NIV
But Jesus often withdrew to lonely
places and prayed.
Luke 5:16 NLT
But Jesus often withdrew to the
wilderness for prayer.

I Walk in Worthiness challenge
1:1 Wilderness Mentor Sessions
Do you know what experts recommend most simply to deal with the effects of trauma: walk, talk, and drink water. It's SIMPLE yet profound but how often are we moving in nature while processing the tough things we are facing or have gone through in the past?
Nicole provides the space to lovingly and safely take you into the woods hiking, onto the water kayaking, or simply walking together. Breakthrough occurs as we move in "bi-pedal" ways using both sides of the brain back in forth (i.e. walking, hiking, kayaking, etc).
Learn more in this 2 minute video as licensed therapist and prophetic strategist, Susan Fleming explains the brain science behind this.

My Nature Story
Why I am so passionate about helping others get in nature!
Unwilling Participant
I remember the scene vividly. As a grumpy teenager, my dad would come up to my bedroom and say "I've got the bikes ready. Let's go." I would grumble and moan and he would leave only to return a few minutes later prodding me to go with him around the 6 mile bike path at the park behind our home. Begrudgingly I would agree and would go.
This scene happened over and over. Thankfully he didn't give up on me. Every time upon returning home I would feel SO MUCH better and be so thankful for the time with him and in nature. I would also feel very sorry for those who lived where they didn't have access to what we had. I never knew how much I needed that stress release until after I would go.
Paradise in Our Back Yard
This was my childhood and for it I am immensely grateful. I was raised in Michigan on the back side of one of the most amazing parks on the planet, Stony Creek Metropark.
We were there literally every day of my childhood biking, walking, swimming, fishing, sailing, skating, sledding, cross country skiing, and more. What a paradise and of course I didn't know what I really had until I didn't have it any longer.
"Green Spaces"
Fast forward many years to adulthood now as a Texan. By that point I realized how powerful nature was and was actively seeking it out. I drove all around town with my dog, Gracie, to all the "green spaces" on the map. I was SORELY disappointed! There was nothing like what I had back home. These are NOT parks I would exclaim!
In 2005, trauma struck as my dad made the tragic decision to end his life. My health plummeted in the midst of deep grief and all the hormones associated with pregnancy. I was a mess. I longed for the beauty and solace I experienced in the beauty of God's creation.
Lost Beauty
When I returned to Stony years later I sat on the edge of the lake and just sobbed. My mom said, oh you are missing dad. Yes of course that was a huge part of it but it was more so my body grieving the loss of being in so much beauty anytime I wanted to walk out our back door.
Stony Creek Metropark
A 4 Season Slice of Paradise!
I am quite certain that many of the health issues in our world today could be ameliorated or wiped out if more people spent time 1) talking to Jesus and 2) were in nature much more. Profound! This is why I am so passionate about helping others connect to God especially in nature and to experience the fullness of what He offers us there. Solace. Rest. Peace. Beauty.
I encourage you...get outside TODAY! Your body and mental health will thank you!
