Welcome to Living Soil Institute

Living Soil Institute exists to regenerate our depleted selves, earth, and communities by offering embodied experiences and a paradigm of a healing, meaningful, and connected Life.

Our world is grown from a field of relationships. From our food systems to our physical health, we make impressions on each other through our individual and collective choices.

We bloom when we feel safe, supported, and inspired. We heal when our lives have meaning and our hearts are open and at peace.

The dominant world paradigm tells us we are meant to go it alone, to live in our heads, to take what we want, and to distrust anything we don’t understand. We are a global culture that has been separated from our roots, our communities, and our healing ceremonies.

But when we look at the way Life functions, we see that it is so much more than a machine running on our will alone.

 

   Our Offerings

Living Soil Advocacy and Training

Growing living soil by  practicing regenerative agriculture is one of the fastest ways to draw down carbon and reverse climate change. Through workshops, trainings, and presentations, LSI is here to facilitate learning about this powerful healing opportunity for our earth.

Life Purpose Coaching

Imagine a life that is full of joy and purpose. A life where you trust yourself and your inner wisdom…a life where you are supported in being the Full You and take action to bring your visions into reality.

Communications/Community Engagement

Telling stories is how humans have communicated, created change, and passed on wisdom since time immemorial. If you have struggled to find your story and share it in campaigns, causes, or creative projects, or you want support clarifying your themes and outlets for telling it, LSI can help.

Hand Analysis

Hand Analysis is the body’s blueprint for your life purpose. If you have wondered what you are here to do, who your greatest teachers are, and how to work in partnership with your talents and shadows, this is for you.

Yoga and Meditation

Yoga is a practice of embodying our true purpose and nature. More than movement or physical postures, yoga offers somatic healing  that yields a deeply meaningful life while creating balance in mind, body, and spirit. Through weaving yogic principles and ways into your daily life, you will experience greater health, clarity, and well-being.

Reiki

Reiki is universal healing energy that flows through the facilitator to the recipient. Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive experience that activates and supports your body’s innate self-healing. It can be done through a series of hand placements on the body or remotely.

Services Philosophy

We want all people to have access to the medicine they need. We live in a world where healing experiences are often priced out of reach for many people who need them. All of our services have either a sliding scale option or a barter/trade option. If you feel called to thrive with us, we will find a way to make it work. We are happy to speak candidly about needs we have or ideas you have about what to exchange in barter, so please share your skills and offerings!

We’ll only send you tips, treats, and helpful reflections to nurture your best self. Your info stays safe with us and no one else.

“Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us.”

– Robin Wall Kimmerer

“You are not Atlas carrying the world on your shoulder. It is good to remember that the planet is carrying you.”

– Vandana Shiva

To have caused and witnessed suffering and loss of life means grief is eagerly awaiting your decision as to what direction it will take in your destiny: to make more life or to make more death and violence, internally or externally. The best decision is that all grief be turned into life-promoting grief-based beauty and usefulness. The willingness for violence-shattered soldiers to heal others makes their malady into medicine.

– Martin Prechtel
