Restoring Relationship
“Life is an ecological balance, which encompasses everything.“
The Nature Studies Conservatory (NSC): Center for Healing, Education, and Applied Research is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization/public charity and a comprehensive resource dedicated to cultivating altruism, relationship development, environmental stewardship, transformative learning/activism, and community restoration for the healing of planet and humanity. The Conservatory provides heart-centered programs, education, services, and resources to holistically nourish the spirit, optimize health and wellbeing, improve the quality of life, heal emotional pain/trauma, and offer assistance in achieving one’s full potential. Our emphasis of assisting underserved/disadvantaged communities, who are disproportionately BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), is for personal-collective empowerment and sustainable/regenerative, socio-economic, and environmental revitalization. Affordable offerings are provided to increase accessibility and support personal-collective work to heal, develop, and grow/expand experiencing freedom to live fully from heart-centered inner truth, creative purpose, and prosperity.
We also facilitate community groups to address factors that contribute to beliefs, behaviors, and unresolved emotional wounding and trauma that undermine altruistic connection and relationship. Through our endeavors, we aspire to unify humanity in activism and stewardship of one another and the Earth.
Sustainable Culture
We are Spirit….
We are not human beings in search of a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings emersed in a human experience.” ~ Dr. Wayne Dyer
The Harmony Project was initiated to help nurture regenerative, altruistic connection and interpersonal/transpersonal relationship via our connection and relationship with Nature. The project’s model includes natural cycles and rhythms as well as Nature’s inherent relationships and flows drawing from ancient, Ancestral-Indigenous, and Eastern wisdoms; healing technologies; wellbeing self-practices; and relational/folk/ethno-botany. Inner relationship and personal healing work are developed and supported to engender altruistic interactions and community.
This intention informs our Nature Design: Holistic Health, Healing, and Environment approach to restoring relationship/community and contributing to the renewal of humanity. Holistic health and healing address our experience as Spirit embodied and discovering deeper awareness of Self and the true nature of our existence. This includes creating balance and maintaining fluidity (natural ebb and flow) of our energy, emotions, states of consciousness, inner-external environment, and the navigation of everyday experiences and challenges. Workshops, classes, 1:1 and group sessions, and nature-immersion retreats support personal healing work for rematriation, reclamation, and re-storying of individual, ancestral/family, and collective narrative and experiences.
The Harmony Project consists of:
- Natural Design: Restorative Living & Sacred Space Curation
- Heart Journeys: A Path to Personal-Collective Healing
- Culture of Sustainability (COS) Collaborative, Nature Immersions, Applied Research, & Leadership Program
- Living Sanctuary Intentional Healing Community

Healing as Collective Growth & Development
“We grow together.” ~ Plant Wisdom
For a cut to heal, the tissue must grow and develop…
As we learn about ourselves and our environment, it changes how we see and experience the world; it changes our relationship with self, others, and Nature, the Earth. Relationship anchors our humanity; it is the foundation of identity and community development. The quality of our relationships affects health and wellbeing; art/design, science, and tech advancement; and social, cultural, and consciousness evolution.
