What We Remember

Remembering Our Birthright

A New Earth Fellowship

There is a feeling many of us carry—a quiet knowing that something essential has been forgotten. Not lost, exactly. More like misplaced. Buried under decades of busy-ness, under the hum of machines and the glow of screens, under the endless pursuit of more when what we truly ached for was home.

This is an invitation to remember.

Nature's Place is not a destination. It is a recognition—a return to something you have always known but perhaps couldn't name. We are a fellowship of people who have glimpsed a simple truth: we are not separate from nature, we are nature knowing itself. And in that remembering lies the answer to nearly every question we've been asking.

The Great Disconnect

Consider how we speak about the natural world. We say we're "going out into nature," as if we had ever left. We schedule "time with nature," as if she were an appointment on our calendars. We talk about "protecting the environment," as if it were something outside ourselves that needed our charity.

For most of human history, such separation would have been unthinkable. Our ancestors didn't commune with nature—they knew themselves as nature. The rivers were their bloodstream, the soil their body, the sky their breath. Purpose wasn't something you searched for; it was woven into the fabric of existence, as obvious as hunger or love.

Then came the gradual drift. Each age pulled us a little further from the shore. Agriculture made us observers of nature. Industry made us exploiters of nature. And our current digital revolution has done something perhaps more profound—it has made nature feel optional altogether, a screensaver, a weekend retreat, a nice-to-have.

Yet here we are: the most technologically powerful humans in history, surrounded by comforts our ancestors couldn't imagine, and we are struggling. Depression and anxiety have reached epidemic levels. Chronic disease marks nearly every family. Despite all our achievements, a persistent emptiness whispers through our busy lives.

When a species forgets its place in the web of life, the body keeps score. When purpose becomes a puzzle rather than a birthright, the soul aches. We have drifted so far from home that we forgot there was a home to return to.

But disconnection is not permanent. And this is the good news we carry.

The Unity We Never Left

Science is now confirming what mystics always knew: separation is a story, not a fact.

Look closely at your own body. You are home to trillions of microorganisms—more microbial cells than human cells. Your mitochondria, the engines of every cell, were once ancient bacteria that took up residence in our ancestors and never left. You are not a single organism but a walking ecosystem, a colony, a collaboration between countless forms of life.

Beneath the forest floor, mycelial networks stretch for miles, carrying nutrients and chemical messages between trees. Scientists now call this the "wood wide web"—forests are not collections of individual trees competing for sunlight, but interconnected communities sharing resources, raising their young, caring for their sick.

What some call God, what others call Source or Spirit, what we call THE ONE—it is not watching creation from some distant throne. It is creation. Every breath you take is the universe breathing. Every thought you think is consciousness reflecting on itself. You are not separate from the sacred; you are the sacred experiencing itself.

This is not metaphor. This is the most literal truth we know.

Health Begins in the Soil

If we are truly connected to nature, then our disconnection from nature will show up in our bodies. And so it has.

There is a chain of being that runs from earth to table to the cells of our body. Healthy soil grows nutrient-dense plants. Nutrient-dense plants build healthy bodies. Healthy bodies support clear minds and vibrant spirits. This is more than philosophy—this is biochemistry.

Over the past century, industrial agriculture has broken this sacred chain. Soil depleted by chemicals produces plants depleted of nutrition. The advent of processed foods, the rise of the grocery store, and the loss of the habit of cooking meals at home all contributed to this process of disconnection from food. We eat more and receive less nutrients. The chronic disease epidemic is, in part, a reflection of depleted soils and the metabolic imbalances it creates. We cannot build healthy temples from impoverished materials.

But there is another layer to our physical suffering that rarely gets attention. In our fellowship, we study the work of healers who discovered something remarkable: that specific emotional conflicts tend to manifest as specific physical conditions. The body never lies. When we cannot speak our grief, when we swallow our anger, when purpose goes unexpressed, the body takes up the message. Our symptoms are not random failures but meaningful communications from a system desperate to be heard.

Nature's Place weaves together these threads—rebuilding nutrition from the soil up, while also learning to listen to what the body has been trying to say all along. We invite you to explore symptomology and home self-diagnosis tools—simple methods using pH strips, microscopy, and other accessible techniques that reveal your body's nutritional imbalances. Much can be learned at home before ever visiting a practitioner.

Written in the Stars

Every culture that ever lived looked up at the night sky and saw meaning. They understood that the same forces that wheel the galaxies also move through human affairs. This was not superstition—it was experiential observation.

At the moment of your birth, the planets held a particular arrangement in the heavens. This cosmic snapshot is your natal chart—a map of the energies you came here to work with, the frequencies you resonate with and emanate. It shows the gifts you carry, the challenges you chose, the purpose woven into your soul before you drew your first breath.

We practice what is called astronomical cosmological astrology—charts calculated according to the actual positions of the stars as they appear in the sky, corrected for the astronomical drift that has made popular horoscopes increasingly symbolic rather than literal.

Astronomical cosmological astrology is one doorway back to purpose. There are others. All of them lead home.

The Transition We're Living Through

Here is something unprecedented happening in our time: machines are learning to think.

Artificial intelligence is advancing at a pace that will soon eliminate most of the grinding, repetitive work that has consumed human lives for generations. Forty years of labor that served systems rather than souls—this is ending. Robots and algorithms will handle what requires no heart, no creativity, no meaning.

Many see this as a threat. We see it as a gift—perhaps the most demanding gift humanity has ever received.

For centuries, we could distract ourselves from the question of purpose by staying busy. We could ignore the emptiness because there was always another shift to work, another bill to pay, another distraction to consume. The busy-ness was the anesthesia.

If we answer with purpose, with gifts freely given, with creativity and connection and service—then what awaits us is a renaissance beyond anything we've known. If we cannot answer, if the lack of connection remains untreated, the emptiness will become unbearable.

Nature's Place exists to help humanity remember in time.

The Gift Economy

Imagine a world where your contribution is not extracted through coercion or exchanged grudgingly for survival, but offered freely from the overflow of your gifts—and received in the same spirit.

This is not utopia. This is how humans lived for most of our history. Tribal peoples understood that everyone carries unique medicine. The hunter hunted, the healer healed, the elder guided, the artist beautified—not because they were paid, but because these gifts were theirs to give. The community held everyone, and everyone contributed according to their nature.

As AI and automation create abundance, the gift economy becomes viable again at scale. We will not all need to work for money. We will need to contribute our purpose. And that contribution, flowing from genuine calling rather than desperation, will regenerate both giver and receiver.

This is the New Earth we are building—not in rejection of technology, but in partnership with it. Technology handles necessity; humanity handles meaning.

Returning to the Garden

How do we heal from the Great Disconnect? Not through ideas alone, but through experience and practice. Through touch. Through soil under our fingernails and sunlight on our skin.

Regenerative agriculture is not just a method of growing food—it is a spiritual practice. When you build soil, you participate in the very process by which life increases. When you work with natural systems rather than against them, you remember what it feels like to be part of something larger, you reconnect with nature.

Permaculture teaches principles that apply far beyond the garden: observe before acting, mimic nature, produce no waste, integrate rather than segregate. Overseed, overfeed, overgrow the system and remember that natural taxes—rodents, birds, and other critters—love our food. If they eat it, it means it is suitable for life's purposes; their share is nature's tax. Permaculture is more than technique—it is a foundational attitude, a design science for creating systems that work with life rather than against it, a discipline for designing a life worth living.

Through our fellowship, we share knowledge of how to grow food, build soil, and design systems that produce abundance while healing the earth and ourselves. The more we restore the soil, the more the soil restores us.

The Tools We Offer

Nature's Place is building practical tools for the transition.

Through our applications, practitioners can help individuals restore physical homeostasis—tracking hundreds of data points to reveal patterns of disconnection and pathways back to balance. What once required expensive clinical visits becomes accessible to anyone with a smartphone.

Our purpose discovery systems use questions and frameworks—including the insights of true sky astrology—to help individuals remember what they came here to do. These are not personality tests or career aptitude quizzes. They are doorways to soul-level remembering.

We are developing educational materials, healing protocols, community gatherings, and eventually immersive retreat experiences where people can step fully out of the old world and into genuine remembering.

The Invitation

You are reading these words for a reason.

Something in you resonates with the possibility of remembering. Something in you senses that the exhaustion you feel is not personal failure but collective misdirection. Something in you knows there is a place where you belong—not a location, but a state of being.

Nature's Place is not a guru or a dogma or a set of rigid beliefs. We are a fellowship of people supporting each other in the great work of remembering. We draw wisdom from many traditions—the mystery schools of the ancient world, the nutritional sciences of the present, the celestial wisdom of the ages, the ecological understanding of regenerative agriculture, the healing insights of those who learned to listen to the body's messages.

We are building something together: a fellowship in the truest sense—not a building, but a community gathered around sacred purpose. A movement toward wholeness. A return to what was never really lost.

The disconnection was always temporary. The truth of our nature never stopped being true. The soil still wants to feed you. The stars still hold your pattern. Your body still knows how to heal. Your purpose is still calling.
