Power of Nature: A Child’s Poem

After losing her mother when she was a young teenager, Natalie Matias discovered breathwork through qi gong. “I first started to understand that lesson of life that nothing is forever; to pause in that stillness was the first roots of building self-compassion,” she says. “To lose the loss of the love of the mother creates this space for resilience to build and cultivate this self-love, this oneness and universal love that you can connect to.” Natalie’s dedication to community building and connection has led her to lead meditation and mindfulness classes and workshops globally. She’s also the co-founder of an intimate local meditation group for women entrepreneurs and creatives, the Peace Warriors, which began in 2014. Natalie uses her skill sets to advocate for wellness and positive workplace cultures, working with entrepreneurs, professionals, and CEOs to lead conversations that embrace wellness both inside and outside the office. With a passion for neuroscience and a respect for nature and all human beings, Natalie is committed to offering a modern and practical approach to integrating mindfulness and meditation in order to discover vibrant living.
