If we cannot see them, how can we communicate with nature spirits?
Those of us who love nature find a sense of wonder and peace in our favorite places. Forest, river, meadow, ocean, mountain, desert—these places call to us to come back, again and again.
Coleen Douglas, trained as a scientist, began learning to listen to the more-than-human world and was surprised when she started receiving messages from the trees: “Once when I was called to lie on the forest floor, redwood tree sent a message to me through her roots and her network. Hands pressed against bare earth, I felt a tingling in my fingers, and this word appeared—Flow.”
Deeply curious, she decided to interview experienced nature communicators and share their wisdom. Coleen provides a step-by-step way to connect with nature and to open ourselves to receive messages. She offers 8 Timeless Principles for communicating with nature spirits, and experiential ways to put them into practice in our lives.
What if we all consciously allied ourselves with nature?
Nature spirits want to talk with us because we have a lot to do together to restore the natural world devastated by our human actions. Our collaboration with nature spirits is key as we, together, bring forth a new earth—one built upon respect and love for all, seen and unseen.
TESTIMONIAL
"I am delighted how Coleen’s book enhanced my experience with trees, plants and other nature beings. I frequently visit our surrounding redwood groves and beaches. Reading Coleen’s book helped me to see with different eyes.
I’m now much more aware of how to know trees and other forest beings. My first message from a tree was “Take your shoes off” reminding me that, when I go walking in the forest, doing it barefoot may add more intimacy to the experience. Thank you, Coleen."

INVITATION (excerpt from the book)
Once when I was called to lie on the forest floor, redwood tree sent a message to me through her roots and her network. Hands pressed against bare earth, I felt a tingling in my fingers, and this word appeared—Flow.
The tree is inviting us all
To open and allow ourselves to flow
Live life in the flow
Let love wash over us and seep inside
We are like the forest creek gurgling in our ears
Gather all the water drops
To flow together around barriers
Down to the lowest point
Into the sea
Into the arms of the mother of us all
Let go of resistance to the unknown
And just flow
Life is what we live right now
Moment to moment
Set your intention on love for all beings
And flow
I invite you to come into nature with me in a different way. Let nature’s beauty fill you with awe and wonder. Let nature spirits talk with you in a way you can understand. There’s so much possibility when we take guidance from nature to live our lives with new eyes, open hearts and curiosity.
What could we learn if we could talk directly with nature spirits?
This book is a guide for delving deeper. We’ll explore together the 8 Timeless Principles for communicating with nature spirits. Let’s go!
