Dance offered me the tool of expression when I needed it the most. Studying and practicing dance/movement therapy let me explore the embodied ways in which we relate to ourselves and others when I didn’t know how to relate to myself anymore. Nature offered me a place to just be and remember when I couldn’t remember who I was and didn’t know where I belonged.

My hope as a guide is to help people realize that nature is a part of us and that we are a part of nature. To show them the incredible wonder that nature holds. To elicit that awe I feel every time I’m in nature.

Some questions for Julie

If you were a natural element, you would be…? Warm rain

What brings you comfort in nature? Its constant movement. Its rhythms. Its steadiness. That every element has a place and a reason.

What do you do when you’re alone in nature? I observe what is happening around me and when a plant or animal or other element captures my attention, I follow it, explore it as far and as deeply as I can.
