If you long for a spirituality that is earthy, embodied and alive with meaning, you may have found your tribe. Perhaps you are drawn to seasonal ritual, old stories and traditions, symbols and synchronicities, or simply sense that the more-than-human world has much more to say to us than we usually make time to hear.

In many spiritual and Indigenous traditions, humans are understood as part of a wider living family that includes animals, plants, rivers, weather, ancestors and the land itself. The word kinship speaks beautifully to this sense of relationship and belonging. We don't have to find our way back into nature: we are already woven into its fabric.

The Wild Kin Collective nourishes these threads and this deep knowing of connection between humans and with our more-than-human world. It offers a place for embodied reconnection, through weekly invitations, connect with natural images and participate in the rhythms of life.

We weave together nature, movement, ritual, imagination and meaning-making to wake up to the dance with life in our modern world. It may be as simple as walking without headphones, noticing seasonal changes, or taking a moment to enjoy a sandwich beside the water and actually being there.... You might move with the qualities of an animal or tree, create a small ritual or listen to what a landscape evokes in you.

Wild Kin is about bringing a little more attention, wonder and sacredness into your extraordinary-ordinary life. None of this requires you to disappear into the wilderness. You don't need to have a regular spiritual practice or call yourself a pagan, a witch, a Druid or anything else. Come as you are, bring the patch of earth where you live and see what unfolds.

Although creating an online community for nature connection might sound counter-intuitive, I've witnessed the joy of being with like-minded people across the globe. I'm grateful for the unexpected ways that technology can help us gather around shared values and ways of seeing the world. With all that is going on in the world, it feels important to co-create spaces for direct, meaningful experience and exchange.

I really hope you'd like to actively take part in this..

Each week you’ll receive a Saturday practice via Substack, that emerges from Eline's own observations that week. It can be an invitation to reflect on a theme, a practice related to the elements, something about a relevant seasonal herb or creative practice. These offer inspiration to bring nature spirituality into your everyday life.

Alongside the weekly practices, your membership includes:

• 8 live online meetings across the year, following the Celtic wheel, with recordings available afterwards

• our Wild Kin community on Substack, where we can share experiences, reflections, questions and discoveries

• Move with the Seasons, a series of 10 Qi Gong workshops exploring the Yin and Yang energies of the Five Elements

• evolving archive of inspiring Wild Kin practices and reflections on Substack

There is no requirement for constant online engagement. The invitations are designed to support depth, curiosity and ongoing practice rather than another stream of content to consume or add pressure.

Already a Qi Studio member and fancy joining Wild Kin too? Look out for the All Access Fellowship. You’ll bypass the separate Substack subscription and have just one monthly payment for all my work.

This is an exciting, but also quite a vulnerable, step for me. I’ve deliberately chosen to make the weekly Wild Kin practices freely available on Substack, because I believe nature spirituality should be accessible to anyone who is interested.

Joining the Wild Kin Collective is an invitation for a different way of being in relation together, and building ways of working together that are relational, sustainable and inclusive.

Your membership is also a vote of confidence in this kind of work. It helps me continue as an independent teacher, writer and creator.

So, if this dream of kinship resonates with you, and my work has genuinely inspired or encouraged you over the years, it would mean so much to welcome you into the circle.

With gratitude and joy!
Eline
