NatureConnect Programs
Affiliate programs are also offered with enquiries encouraged.
Program Overview
All NatureConnect Programs aim to help your personal growth by facilitating profound experiences of connection, stillness and Oneness. It is through these on-going experiences that you can create the freedom and perspectives to effectively deal with life and its challenges.
The Programs are based on contemplative, eco-spiritual and ecopsychological knowledge and practices that allow you to converse and relate with the natural world in a way that opens your awareness to the sacred and spirit within. This deeper awareness is the portal to the spacious Oneness of who you are and the healing and transformation you seek.
This Program is suited for individuals with the courage to acknowledge their vulnerability and patterns, to take responsibility for their lives and to allow their experiences of nature connection to open up new opportunities for growth. The Program can help those wishing to experience deeper connection, improved mental and spiritual wellness and embodied vitality.
Wisdom of Wholeness Coaching Program
This four month Program offers a one-to-one coaching with course work based on my 2022 book and my lessons during and after that expression of my story about my later in life consciosu journey towards wholeness. My mission is to help anyone seeking support to navigate away from their inner and outer disharmony, even brokenness and cultivate the capacity to experience and live into wholeness.
Wholeness, becoming consciously whole, simply means, from a psychological perspective, being undivided or cohesive (where the parts within ‘you’ are acknowledged and integrated), about bringing together all the parts of a whole into an aligned whole, of feeling enough and authentic to who you are, warts and all.
We live within a wounded and broken world in which the human experiment is failing at many levels. One just has to recognise the degraded and increasingly chaotic nature of the global climate, the ecological and life support systems, democratic governance, social inequities. In a deeply divided and broken world made up of the walking wounded, we cannot but be affected, and suppressed, by the oppressive, inflammatory atmospheres we are immersed within. The personal is reflected in the collective, and vice versa.
We are all unaware of the shadows – the stories, the wounds, the limiting beliefs, the painful memories – lurking in our unconscious, directing and controlling our decisions and behaviours. If you recognise that the old painful path can no longer be sustained, that you cannot continue to the divided, limiting life patterns, then you must dive deep into your psyche and renew the stories you have created and sustained throughout your life.
Wholeness practice as a ritual for transformation is a constantly unfolding process of stillness, surrender and acceptance. In learning to be, you can enter into the consciousness of becoming whole. For those of us on this journey it it is a day-to-day process of persevering with practices that nourish the becoming and being of our wholeness.
This Program is about offering you guidance, support, accountability for undertaking the inner work that is required to make conscious and heal the wounds that lie behind the disharmony, limiting patterns, and unhappiness in your life. It is about discovering your true nature and to be freed of your old limitations and stories from childhood.

Online Learning Courses
Short course: Cultivating Inner Stillness – taming the wild mind
Feeling burdened by stress or tiredness of juggling roles and expectations, of the despair of past traumas and anxiety about future happenings? Are you feeling ungrounded or out of sorts with life? Are you willing to take responsibility for your own mental, emotional and spiritual wellness? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this course is ideal for you.
The skills associated with purposely entering into stillness are essential for de-escalating the feelings of tension, stress and anxiety, as well as reducing actual or potential conflict. By being able to control your attention and inner awareness you can move into a space of centredness and alignment, an empowered position of dispassionate witness self that reduces your reactivity to external stimuli and prevents rushing in to react without restraint or consideration.

This course offers a structured, step by step process to help you take a fresh look at your life to identify what separates you from your longing for inner peace. This course is designed to help you cultivate practices that allow you to nourish and sustain inner stillness despite the stress, busyness and challenges in your busy life as well as the threats and turmoil in our world. This course is about equipping you with some basic tools to help you take control of life rather than being held captive to the external events or situations.
As an introduction to the much more intensive course, Connecting to your Wholeness, this course introduces the participant to the foundational NatureConnect practices of mindfulness and gratitude within a nature-based context. It is an easy to follow, evidence-based program, simply presented based on the latest research and insights of mindful and gratitude practice in natural places that will help illuminate your path to inner stillness and strengthen your inner resilience.
Course review
by Yvonne Parker, Wollongong, Australia June 2020
“The text was easy to read without being dull. Its flowing style kept me focused and it nourished what I had already learnt from Peter during face-to-face walking sessions. Sometimes I felt the topics in each section were a little repetitive but this was a good way of “revising” what had already been taught. Each topic built on the one before it and so each section was a valuable teaching, reinforcing and depthing of important facets in the cultivating of inner stillness. The activities, especially the recordings were a valuable gift for the ongoing journey of walking mindfully in nature and in everyday life.
Thank you Peter for your perseverance in writing this course, for the sharing of the rich fruits of your own experience of this journey, and for your passion in desiring to share this with many others.”
Face to Face
Face to Face Program
NatureConnect Sessions are currently on hold. They are generally held weekly on Sydney’s lower north shore. These sessions are around 2 hours long and held in easy to walk, natural bushland sites easily accessible to transport. They are designed to help participants create the inner and outer space to self-reflect and ground their being into Earth and spirit. A range of contemplative and perceptual activities are undertaken to help shift awareness and encourage wonder and love for nature’s places and beings.
