ABOUT MARNIE

As a certified Mindfulness Teacher, Marnie shares not only her own experience and insight gained from learning to 

Live Into Mindfulness, she also weaves in the depth of knowledge shared by the many incredible teachers she has studied with over the years. She embraces the notion of "beginner's mind" which keeps her courses accessible for new students and relevant for experienced practitioners.

​

Having spent two decades as an educator in a diverse array of settings,

local and international, teaching everything from A-Z; children & adults, arithmetic to spelunking (yes, she even taught cave ecology), she's found a practice that awakens her whole being! An avid lover of the outdoors, Marnie volunteers as a naturalist,  invested multiple years as a Search & Rescue volunteer, and is also Wilderness First Aid/CPR certified.

She currently is living and working on the occupied ancestral lands of the Pueblo People in New Mexico and is building a relationship with land she and her husband are stewarding in SW Colorado. 

​

Always pursuing passion, Marnie is a budding home herbalist and Ayurvedic cook, learning to imbue plant intelligence into her relationship with her environment. It is this desire to learn and connect and to share what's in the heart with others that makes this work Marnie's heart's work.

Today's modern life often leaves us feeling isolated, while society tends to  invoke division, with social media- our main source of connection through the pandemic -has turned up the volume of the inner critic. Marnie has learned to navigate this terrain of her own inner life by turning to the foundations of mindfulness and nature-based wisdom practices. 

​

It is her holistic, heart-centered, embodiment of mindfulness and her spiritual connection & deep love of the wild world that shines forth in her approach to leading workshops, retreats and mentoring. She hopes to bring a mutual sense of reciprocity to her work where others (human and beyond human) feel noticed and cared for.
