Linds West Roberts

Linds Roberts (pronouns: they/them) has always lived life with an inclination toward ceremony, finding private spaces in nature to listen, to honor the seasons and the elements. They have explored the academic path as a librarian and professor, and are now returning to a call to embrace wilderness, to remember their own true nature, and to connect others with theirs.

After a year of personal sabbatical, including several months at a meditation retreat center outside San Diego, Linds has emerged from the chrysalis of retreat and deep listening inward as a storyteller, space holder, and facilitator. Linds connects with those whose stories have become lost inside of ourselves, and who are longing to rediscover our own inner wisdom, each other, and the natural world. Linds weaves practices in nature, mindfulness, play, storytelling, and justice together in classes, workshops, and one on one sessions.

Gather

Linds’ current projects are connected under the theme of gathering, with this purpose: to create space for deep, body-wise connection to ourselves, each other, and the planet.

What does it mean, ‘to gather’?

From Oxford Languages:

Gather
Verb
1. come together; assemble or accumulate.

2. bring together and take in from scattered places or sources. “we have gathered the information”

3. develop a high degree of. “the green movement is gathering pace”

4. infer, understand.

5. summon up (a mental or physical attribute such as one’s thoughts or strength) for a purpose.

6. draw and hold together (fabric or a part of a garment) by running thread through it.

These definitions suggest multiple meanings for the benefits of people coming together in nature and in community to reflect, grieve, celebrate, and remember who we are.

Gathering the Fruits of 2023!

Dear Friends and Family, When I reflect on the past year, I feel deep awe. I left my job at CU Boulder at the end of August 2022 and took this leap into rest and the uncertainty of play.  I have been so supported in this journey. From the skilled and creative local carpenters, plumber,…
