Journey Back to Eden and Learn How to Design your Life in Harmony with the Earth.
How is Nature designed? What can Earth herself teach us when we have eyes to see, ears to listen, and hearts to feel?
The patterns that we find in the natural world are secret whispers of Earth’s hidden intelligence. The intricate veins in leaves, the winding course of rivers, the migration path of birds, the spots on a leopard’s back… all can teach us surprising things about how we can design our human systems and habitats in ways that are symbiotic and regenerative for our planet.

MEET YOUR TEACHER, MEHTA MAYAH
A woman of the wild, Mayah grew up on sixty acres of Canadian woodland and spent her early years running through fields, building forts in the forest, tending to her father’s gardens, and saving tadpoles from shrinking puddles in late spring. Her deep sensitivity to the energy of the natural world allowed her to develop telepathic communication with the plants and creatures around her. After completing a Permaculture Design Certification program in 2016, she understood what her experiences as a child were showing her- that there is a way of allowing Earth to speak directly to us, guide us, inhabit our minds and lead us towards a higher evolution as symbiotic stewards of the planet.
For over 7 years, Mayah has traveled through Central America, Europe and the Middle East visiting, working, learning and teaching in various ecological and community projects, both urban and land-based. She is also a Quantum Energy Healer and Astrologer and works with sacred plant medicines.
She now teaches Nature’s Design with her own galactic shamanic twist, with an intention to help awaken others to the magick of being a human synchronized in Mind, Body, Heart and Soul with Earth.
