Original Beauty. Action. Revolution.
Living School of Great Welcome
The Great Welcome is the deeply loving, animate heart of Earth, in which you are held, belong, and are a vital part.
The Great Welcome not only holds you, it lives through you, is always available, and is unerringly tuned to your becoming.
Life experienced directly and dimensionally – as Nature, Soul, Spirit, and Psyche – is innately de-colonizing and health-bringing.
By engaging a variety of Ecosomatic tools, ritual, dreamwork, and relating skills, as well as guiding and supporting others into direct experiences of ‘ourselves as Earth’, we connect to an ancient, original aliveness, rhythm, and inherent dignity.
When we are re-membered by the animate world, which includes and illuminates our wild and loving hearts, then we know what to do with our lives, and we know how to act. Those actions themselves are our Soul work, the living and revolutionary intention of Earth.

Registration is open. You may now enroll in this course as a yearlong, by individual module, in-person, or remote. The first two modules will be held on Ute and Diné, ancestral and unceded territory in and around Mancos, CO, USA. We’re found nestled between Mesa Verde National Park to the Southwest, and The San Juan National Forest and La Plata Mountains to the North.
“Grow a nervous system to feel the beauty, then feed the beauty you feel with your life.”
—Martin Prechtel
Hi we are Jonah and Luna, a couple with a heart for Earth, our more than human relatives, mystery, healing, culture, art, music, and so much more! When we began courting as partners, we were living separately in Montana and Northern California. We quickly started to see and feel our mutual passions and what brings us to life weaving into their own expressions. Guided by Earth and Spirit, deep listening and a lot of faith, we made the jump and moved to southwestern Colorado together.
As time together progressed, life found us with new commitments,matrimony,offerings, ideas, writings, our individual work weaving with new but familiar lands to us.
We witnessed ourselves being molded into something deeper, something wider, something wilder.
We began to feel the nudges and whispers of a vision much bigger than us. Something we have both separately dreamed of for many years began to turn into tugs and clarity, and a sense of being compelled to dream into and be dreamed by this vision…
And that’s how the moment for breathing life into Living School of Great Welcome arrived!
The work we have been doing individually until now has been deeply fulfilling and will continue to be part of our offerings as we now weave those offerings together in the form of a school!
Big thank you to clients who made it clear they were looking to deepen and study with us, friends and community through the years who have stoked our fire and encouraged us to teach, and to the help we received creating an online presence. Gratitude to Mother Earth, the true authority and creator of all we make, one who dreams us as we do our best to use these hands and hearts to honor Her.
Blessings & Gratitude,
Luna y Jonah
