A connection with Nature is a Connection to Humanity.
As people, we can become more rather than have more. My ultimate goal is for you to be a reflection of a healed Earth.
In short, we can grow consciousness about the community of life by helping and connecting.
Tori's Talks
Transformative Volunteerism
for Terrestrial Sciences
Volunteering for Nature has its perks: You can gain experience for a job, meet fantastic people, learn more—the list continues!
However, how do we get people to express their care? How do we get community involvement in nature projects?
Together, we'll learn about the successes and hardships of volunteering.
The solution can transform any nature volunteer event into a heart-to-Earth Grassroots effort.
In other words, learn more, motivate volunteers, and fill your heart space for the love of nature.
This talk is great for grassroots, community engagement, science, and communication events or themes.

Hello, I'm Tori Manley, an environmental activist of 15 years.
The Energy of Nature felt like my first language. Being among nature feels well- Natural! Being barefoot, climbing trees, swimming, being in nature can bring joy and peace. That peace and joy is is so important to function, connect and live a full life.
As humans, nature is important for our physical, spiritual, emotional and social well being.
When we are in alignment with nature as individuals or as a collective society, we are aligned with ourselves.
Basically, when nature is in flow, we are in flow.
I believe that
The Earth going through unsustainable development. This is a direct reflection of the state of humanity. When we are working against nature, we work against ourselves.
My ultimate mission is to learn more about cultivating belonging in the community and help people develop a relationship with nature, and help create spaces for healing.
