At the core of my work is a deep resonance with the natural world.
If you want to connect your work with nature, whether personally or with your organization, let’s talk about ways I can lead you in earth-based practices as a path to greater wholeness and well-being.
Nature provides us with maps and metaphors for navigating change, fostering resilience and practicing sustainability.
The fabric of life is change.
We all move through cycles and seasons in our lives and in our organizations.
Conscious connection with the cycles of nature can help you more easily accept the cycles of your life, relaxing into change and embracing it rather than resisting it.
Observing and connecting with the cycles of nature can teach you resilience in observing and connecting with the cycles of your organization and life.
Nature is a source of inspiration, beauty, and power.
You know how a walk can make you feel connected to yourself again?
You can draw on nature every day to feel this connection.
The natural world provides you with maps and metaphors for navigating change, fostering resilience, and practicing sustainability.
Business moves in cycles as well. There are periods of planting seeds, tending, harvesting, and resting. A sustainable organization honors these cycles as inevitable and productive.
In today’s modern and disconnected world, we often see our work life as separate from nature and her wisdom.
That couldn’t be further from the truth.
Whether drawing inspiration and resilience from nature’s cycles, making sure your organization’s practices are environmentally sustainable, or bringing nature into your physical spaces, I can help you reconnect with nature and use it as a map and guide for your work and life.
Come back to wholeness by inviting the natural world into your work.
It’s not possible to function in growth mode all the time, both personally and as an organization.
Trying to work in a perpetual state of summer with constant output is a sure path to burnout.
Big projects especially benefit from periods of rest and incubation, a winter season in which nature regenerates.
Making space for thoughtful planning, a springtime planting, means you’ll have a more comprehensive strategy rather than constantly feeling like you’re building the plane in flight or doing things last minute.
By the time you reach the harvest time, the fruition of your project, you’ll still have enough energy to enjoy it and see it through to completion.
And then…you rest again. Just like the earth does after its seasons of production.
How We Can Work Together
Classes, courses, ceremonies, and experiences will help you and your organization align with nature’s wisdom and use it as your guide in both business and life.
CLASSES
I can create a half-day or one-day workshop for your organization on a specific topic or practice.
SPACE CLEARING
I can organize and energetically clear your space using earth-based practices.
STRATEGIC PLANNING RETREATS
I can curate and lead a retreat for your team in a beautiful natural setting.
CEREMONIES
I can create and lead ceremonies to help you celebrate personal and professional milestones.
“I have deeply enjoyed working with Mary Christa in a variety of settings and also one on one sessions over the years.
I chose to participate in her course, “The Art of Making Offerings,” and I must say this course was/is so much more than I had thought it would be. Mary Christa leads the course with her decades of wisdom in North and South American indigenous people paired with her deep knowledge in shamanic energy. She is a lifelong learner who continuously strives to expand her knowledge in self-awareness, and self-growth, that brings a richness to her guidance and teachings that I have not experienced before. She lovingly walked me through understanding the intricacies of making offerings and challenged me to explore the deeper meaning and importance to my own life and personal growth, in relationship with my environment and spiritual evolution. Her thoughtful presence and nonjudgmental nature make learning from her a pleasure. Her course was free-flowing , respecting what each participant brought to the course. I highly recommend enjoying a course presented by Mary Christa.”

Schedule a Complimentary Consultation
I work with a limited number of clients, and I only work with leaders and organizations who are interested in a holistic approach to doing business that prioritizes the well-being of the planet and its people.
If this is you, I invite you to book a Conscious Consultation. This is a sales-free, obligation-free, 45-minute session in which I’ll assess your needs based on current challenges and provide a report giving you an overview of my recommendations and ways we can work together.
I offer these from a desire to empower more leaders with the basics and also to see if I’m a good fit as a consultant and facilitator for your organization and vice versa.
Case Study
In 2020 Summit Land Conservancy moved into a new office space - right in the middle of the pandemic. The team worked remotely for one year and new staff had come on during that time. Their Executive Director was seeking a way to align the space to build connection as a team and create a beautiful, positive and productive atmosphere. She also saw it as an opportunity to disrupt some of the interpersonal dynamics that had not been working in the past. Mary Christa and the Director met at the office and spent 2 hours clearing and aligning the space. Mary Christa gave thoughtful attention to how it felt, and how the space could be utilized to strengthen the values of the organization through careful curation of spaces for collaboration.
“Mary Christa combines the well-researched knowledge of an organizational coach with the intuition of a healer. She helped us organize our office space to maximize flow, keep working areas productive, and support our team's overall well-being.”

Your trusted confidante + artful facilitator
I help visionaries like you…
With your team.
With your donors.
With your board.
With yourself.
With decades of experience facilitating groups and building coalitions on the executive level, I am the trusted confidant and artful facilitator who will help you unite and lead your organization to realize a shared vision.
I’m not your typical consultant… Pairing nature-based practices and holistic well-being with my 30 years of experience as a teacher, coalition builder, and entrepreneur is my secret medicine. This isn’t fake, woo woo, false positivity, all light and rainbows kind of stuff. This is deep work and requires honesty and courage.
