Essentials of Nature Connection Calls

Welcome all those who get psyched on tracks, birds, plants, trees and all things nature-oriented! You have found your people.

Join Jon Young, tracker, naturalist, master storyteller, visionary, and other nature geeks just like you, every Monday evening for a really fun and engaging, international session of “Story of the Day.”

Do you know why Jon is such an amazing tracker, naturalist, storyteller?

He tells the story of how he became so enlightened at many of his workshops and lectures. Do you know what story I am talking about?

Everyday between the ages of 8 and 15 Jon had a mentor who called him and artfully asked him a series of really unique questions. This would lead Jon to go out and search for the answers in nature the next day, and sometimes for years. This simple little routine is what caused Jon’s awareness to expand to places that many people never get to experience.

The Monday nature calls are our way of bringing this simple yet infinitely powerful routine into your life. You will expand in your ability to be:

• A naturally humble and helpful person that is essential to any community.
• A person with super-human-like awareness and instinct.
• Someone who has a powerful connection with the Great Mystery.
• One who attracts and causes outrageous bursts of deep belly laughter.
• A person who not only knows a lot of essential things about nature, but also experiences a rich depth of closeness with all their relations.

The Monday nature calls are so powerful in expanding your awareness, because instead of just one really intense nature freak hounding you with questions, like Jon had growing up, you get a whole community of them.

If you love nature, but you haven’t connected so much with people, well then, this call is for you.

These costs are not covered by NMCO tuition.

Skype is a great long-distance plan alternative with affordable domestic and international plans. Visit www.skype.com for more info. If you plan to use Skype or another VOIP, please invest in a headset to ensure a clear call for everyone. NOTE: Participants report having trouble dialing in using Google Voice (seems to work through Firefox but not Google Chrome and varies day to day).
