The Story of Nisa Nature

Nisa Nature’s love and respect for nature began early with the good influence of her parents. Both were trained as botanists, and her father became a microbiologist. Nisa learned the names of the plants and animals that grew in Maryland and Pennsylvania, especially the birds that her father loved.

The Purpose of Nisa
Nature's Adventures

The purpose of Nisa Nature’s Adventures is to remind participants of their oneness with the natural world through joyful and creative experiences, thus encouraging the natural interest in caring for ourselves and our planet Earth in a balanced way.

When her family moved to Tennessee near the Smoky Mountains, her mother especially encouraged hikes into the mountains with their fragrant pines and cascading streams and waterfalls.

Nature inspired Nisa's first artistic love of poetry, which she majored in at Oberlin College, and later, in graduate school, nature inspired her dances. After graduating under the tutelage of Maida Withers at G.W.U., Nisa used her dance and music knowledge to perform in children’s theater, including the Adventure Theatre, Library Theatre, and the National Park Service. Meanwhile, she had gotten married, and began teaching her own three children about the special gifts of the animals and plants.

Nisa honors teachers from Sun Bear’s Native American teachers—Grandfather Bear Heart and Wind Daughter—whose vision quests, medicine wheels, allowed her and her family to experience deeper oneness with nature, eventually leading to the creation of her interactive children’s musical: Nisa Nature’s Adventures. She also thanks Mara Freeman, whose profound spiritual journey to the ancient Avalon sites in England sparked Nisa’s Nature Healing Songs to easily come through.

Utilizing all the senses, and thus increasing synapse connections in the brain, Nisa Nature facilitates movement, song, drumming, rattling, drawing, painting, journaling, and discussion so that each person can experience his/her unique connection with the Natural World. Nature facts, eco-tips, and indigenous traditions from the cultures of North and South America, and the ancient Vedic culture of India may inform each session. Themes may also be derived from the animal, plant, and mineral life of other places around the Earth, or on the nature of our solar system or galaxy.
