Ināya Healing Arts
My name is Caroline, known to some as Ināya.
My work is rooted in restoring ecological balance through authentic guardianship of our inner and outer nature.
I design processes and spaces for natural intelligence to flow freely, allowing for release, clarity, purpose and peace.
I AM here to share my teachings and services as an eco-therapist and transformation guide, expressing my own medicine journey through the science of yoga, visionary arts and nature connection.
I AM following my heart and essence - exploring the fertile forest of nature-conscious leadership, dedicated to nourish a community of equals wanting to live closer to nature and taking collective action on issues facing humanity today.
I offer guidance, pathfinding, herbal remedies and wholeness rituals, and facilitate for retreats and trainings that bring us deeper into a sense of magical awe of existence, natural peace and belonging.
Engage me for 1:1 guidance, therapies, design processes, consultancies and personalised rites of passage, way of council and vision quests.
"Only in the woods was all at rest within me,
my soul became still and full of power."
- Knut Hamsun, ‘Pan’
Norwegian Sage is a visual journal. A ritual fire. An unfolding conversation. An universe in the making. A dialogue between members of a tribe - a people ready for a new narrative.
There is a voice that has been whispering in my veins ever since I was a child, closely watching and guiding my spirit as I grew older. She is the voice of my ancestors, of the indigenous wisdom carried down in my genes through generations, and the compass I turn to when my balance is disturbed.
On my journey, I have studied humanitarian crises and peace processes in order to understand out human systems are constructed and broken down again by trauma, conflict and instability. As a diplomat for the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, working with some of the world’s most contracted peace processes, I found myself continuously faced with the challenges and dilemmas of our current development paradigms and global systems. I have immersed myself in the mad-made systems of government, bureaucracy and private corporate culture, and find myself returning to nature again and again..
Immersing in the wisdom of countries such as Nepal, Brazil, Japan, Morocco made me understand that the change we wanted to see in the world had to begin with nurturing a sustainable resilience in ourselves. That my own life had to be 'eco-logical', in accordance with nature's own rhythm, for me to experience presence and calm. My anchor is now with the deep feminine vibration of being and leading from a nature-conscious heartful presence. I envision a world of ecological balance, empowered presence and creative unfolding, where we are each other’s medicine and we take care of our living environment.
