The Morning Altars Practice

In my best-selling book, Morning Altars, I lay out the 7-steps of this healing practice. 

While people all over the world have used the 7-steps to inspire their personal practice, it has also become a guidebook at institutions, schools, and centers around the world including: The American Montessori Society, Alzheimer's Association, Esalen Institute, and Compassion and Choices End of Life, and many more.

Each step is a joyful journey to slow you down and guide you back into relationship with the living world and yourself.

The core capacity of the practice is: “Outer Landscape / Inner Landscape” – a technique to notice nature reflected within you and to notice yourself reflected within nature. Each step utilizes this technique.

While the practice culminates in the creation of a nature altar, what’s embedded in each step are fundamental therapeutic skills such as creativity, wonder, reciprocity, praise, presence, playfulness and non-attachment..
