Amarin Dawn
Calgary, Canada

I am Amarin Dawn, Mother, Grandmother, Lover, tree hugger, animal activist, and a mentor for Inter-Being. I am deeply grateful for a rich and busy life. I value my Days spent Inspiring nature connection through an environmental not-for-profit ‘Experience Journeys’ dreamed into being with my life partner. I relish my plant-based cheffing at “The Heart”, a vegan cafe founded with my eldest daughter. And, most importantly, I love hugging trees with my Grandson.

I am sometimes fearful, furious, and heartbroken for our planet. I am grateful for the contemplative nature connection practices that invite me back to remembering I am love and in this, intricately woven into this web of life.

I savor laying in mossy beds. I cry when the Red Wing blackbirds arrive in the Spring. I am most at home in my tent in forests and mountain meadows. Trees are my therapists. Birdsong my favorite genre. I am Fiercely in love with this planet and all life it supports. My aspiration is that my actions inspire others to care for this planet, so deeply in need of our compassionate attention,

There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground; there are a thousand ways to go home again. ~ Rumi
