Nature’s code for cultivating creativity

Inner Landscaping is a revolutionary approach to creativity, guiding you to reawaken your creativity by reimagining yourself as a thriving, adaptive ecosystem

Experience the indescribable

Inner Landscaping feels like riding a wave, tuning into the pulse of life and the hum of the universe. It’s like waking up and remembering something wonderful, lifting a veil to see the beauty that already exists.

Remember who you are and discover the abundant resources of your inner landscape. See yourself in the patterns of life, tune in to and dance with the rhythms of nature, uncover the treasure of your truth and harmonise your inner and outer worlds.

“I discovered that nature is the true authority on creativity — that I am nature, life is creative and I am creative. When I began to see life as a creative process, and looked to nature to find the patterns and rhythms of thriving ecosystems, I designed a system of inquiry to learn how to cultivate myself as a thriving ecosystem too.

Inner Landscaping helps to make sense of a world in which many old narratives no longer ring true. Trusting in nature and trusting in myself changed everything.”

The Inner Landscaping process is an ecosystem

Rituals

Rituals are the poetry of the Inner Landscaping ecosystem, where you learn to love and nourish yourself, as if tending to a precious garden. The first 4 rituals will help you to tune into and express your inner landscape, introducing you to your own inner guru. 4 more rituals inspire you to customise your own unique creative process.

Practices

The 12 practices are inspired by the principles of permaculture — an approach to gardening and agriculture that is informed by direct observation of nature and the wisdom of traditional cultures. Each practice begins by asking: if this principle is seen in all thriving ecosystems in nature, how can I cultivate it in my life, so I too can be a thriving ecosystem?

Embracing change

Living a creative life means embracing change — growing, adapting and evolving to become the best version of yourself, and to have a positive impact on your world.

Life is creative

Life is the emergent quality of the biological processes of growth, reproduction, adaptation and evolution. 

Nature is the creative controlling force of the universe — the source of all life, all creativity — you are nature. Your creativity is innate and links you to all life, everywhere.
