Krista Nelson

Krista Nelson—Lenapei Lixsewakani Wintemakwi (Lenape language teacher) and Kikehwèt Hitkwike (Healer Among the Trees)—is an ecotherapist, grief guide, and practitioner of earth-based medicine. Krista invites people into ran intimate relationship with nature through gratitude rituals, grief walks, and a practice of reciprocity she calls Nature as Lover. Her signature Creek Drinking ritual allows us to take sips of water with our ears and show appreciation by making music with and for water.

Krista's books include, My Secret Barack: Crowning the King about her experience attending the first presidential inauguration of Barack Obama, Create Your Dream Life in 6 Steps or Less a self development bundle —reading book, workbook, and journal; and a collection of nature-based self development guides drenched in photographs from the Wissahickon Valley Park. Krista's intention is to bring the experience of being immersed in nature to those who do not have access and those who enjoy bringing nature into their laps. There's one nature-based book for every month.
