This Labyrinth Walk Companion, Wisdom of Nature, invites you to slow down, listen, and reconnect with the quiet intelligence of the natural world. It is inspired by my conversation with Nancy Herlin on the recent episode, Sacred Places and Eco-Spirituality.

Through breath, reflection, poetry, and the rhythm of the labyrinth, this practice opens space for insight, subtle awareness, and a deeper sense of connection. Step into the walk and discover what nature might be communicating to you.

Whether you are tracing a handheld or printed labyrinth, or walking one of the thousands of labyrinths around the world, these recordings are here to help you pause, reflect on what life is calling you into right now, and meet yourself exactly where you are before taking the first step.

You might also use them as meditation prompts, or as preparation for a yoga or movement practice.

You will begin with centering and breath, open the labyrinth with awareness, and step forward with reflective guidance to accompany you.

If you are practicing from home, you can download a printable tracing labyrinth below. Paid subscribers to Room to Evolve receive access to downloadable Labyrinth Walk Companion Guides.

May your walks in nature be a conversation, and may that conversation bring you wisdom and insights for your journey ahead.

Much love,

Jessica

What if the natural world is already speaking to us—through trees, land, and sacred places—if we only learn how to listen?

In this episode of Room to Evolve, Jessica Goulding speaks with spiritual director Nancy Herlin about sacred places, eco-spirituality, and the quiet wisdom that emerges when we slow down and pay attention.

Nancy shares the story of how Five Oak Ranch became a retreat space dedicated to listening, contemplation, and connection with the natural world.

Nancy Herlin is a spiritual director certified through the Stillpoint Center for Christian Spirituality, where she also serves on faculty. She works with individuals and groups in both spiritual direction and eco-spiritual direction.

She is also a Veriditas-certified Labyrinth Facilitator and a commissioned Centering Prayer presenter through Contemplative Outreach.

Nancy is most alive when she can hold holy space for others to listen for God’s voice in their lives—and when she spends time with her six grandchildren, who remind her of her Essence.

Following our recent conversation with Jill Geoffrion, it’s time to explore the theme of thresholds in our own lives in an embodied way.

This episode is the first of a series of podcasts that will follow our interviews each month on the Room to Evolve podcast. They are called Labyrinth Walk Companions.

In this Labyrinth Walk Companion episode of Room to Evolve, we explore the theme At the Threshold. This guided walk invites you to pause before taking the first step and notice what life is calling you into right now.

Whether you are tracing a handheld or printed labyrinth, or walking one of the thousands of labyrinths around the world, these recordings are here to help you pause, reflect on what life is calling you into right now, and meet yourself exactly where you are before taking the first step.

You might also use them as meditation prompts, or as preparation for a yoga or movement practice.

You will begin with centering and breath, open the labyrinth with awareness, and step forward with reflective guidance to accompany you.

If you are practicing from home, you can download a printable tracing labyrinth below. Paid subscribers to Room to Evolve receive access to downloadable Labyrinth Walk Companion Guides.

May your life’s thresholds be blessings, and your walk sure-footed.

Much love,

Jessica
