Testimonials

“I participated in a creative, land based decision making workshop with Sarah West to support the development of a municipal climate action plan. It was the perfect collaborative, experiential learning opportunity for this. We worked independently to intentionally answer a question our group co-created together. Through Sarah we were given the tools to creatively engage with the natural world, we worked through our question in a unique way. Especially in my line of work, where I spent 99% of my time behind a computer it was an amazing opportunity to look at a challenging group question in a unique but important way, giving us the lens and space to reconnect with nature and remind me why I do the work that I do and why it is so meaningful to me.”
- Avery Deboer-Smith, Environmental Project Management Consultant
“Regardless of previous connection with the land or what they think they know about their work, themselves and their local environment, putting time and energy into a session like this will change their perspective and more deeply connect them with themselves, their colleagues and /or their local environment – and likely all three!
If there was a way to require work like this for people/teams engaged in environmental policy development, on a regular basis, we would make better policies and we would implement them more collaboratively and effectively.”
- City administrator & program manager who utilized creative, land based planning in engagement sessions informing policy development
“Sarah offered an incredibly rich and creative way to tackle what can be very dry and laborious subjects. I felt so engaged by the process and held by the facilitator. It was fun, productive and tapped into broader ways of knowing and understanding.”
- K.L. Kivi, Projects and Campaigns Co-ordinator, Autonomous Sinixt (speaking to a multi-stage strategic planning process)
“Sarah helped me connect the dots on personal issues and see how nature was reflecting back to me all these possibilities for healing and hope. At the conclusion of my training, I felt an enduring calm and deep trust in the land in which I live. I am so grateful for Sarah’s wisdom and compassion and I highly recommend working with her and exploring the many offerings of Earthen Vision.”

“Do it; you really have to experience it to understand it.”
