Seminar

Experience your connection to nature and your own humanity.

Being in Nature

October 21 – October 23, 2022 | Camp Tecumseh, New Jersey

“And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul.” – John Muir

Most of us frequently lose our connection to our natural being and do not smell the air or feel the ground beneath our feet. Our days are invested in our computers, smartphones, “to-do” lists and worries about the future or regrets about the past. But this moment is where your life is taking place. And the moment is magic if you are here to experience it.

In this residential retreat, award-winning authors and international seminar leaders Ariel & Shya Kane invite you to re-engage with the natural order of things, with the cycle of life. A rejuvenating weekend for mind, body and spirit, Being in Nature takes place at Camp Tecumseh – a rustic facility located on nearly 400 acres of rolling hills in rural Pittstown, New Jersey. Surrounded by lakes, woods and vivid autumn colors, the serene environment is the perfect place to experience harmony within yourself and the world around you.

Tuition includes meals, rooming (double occupancy/multiple occupancy), and shared bath.

In this seminar, you will

  • Unplug from everyday pressures and reconnect with the beauty of nature
  • Rekindle your sense of wonder and delight
  • Rejuvenate your spirit and recharge your “battery”
  • Enjoy freedom from stress, worry and anxiety
  • Strengthen your ability to be present and effective, regardless of the circumstances
  • Discover practical tools for having everyday well-being
