As a humane being, co-founding teacher of Monterey Bay Meditation Studio, climate-aware therapist, and licensed marriage and family therapist, Marianne Rowe, MS, LMFT, is dedicated to cultivating eco-systemic consciousness and living in-cahoots with Earth, Cosmos, and Life in all forms. Her sense of belonging and aliveness is sourced and deepened through walks, sits, and gazing with the Pacific Ocean, forest, night skies, along with evolutionary, envisioning conversations with beloved friends.

Marianne’s (evidently) insatiable love of learning has led her into certifications as a nature & forest therapy guide, eco-therapist, California naturalist, CA Climate Steward, and Authentic Relating facilitator, along with certifications in eco-psychology, climate stewardship and climate psychology. Much of her energy and inspiration is sourced in Deeptime perspective, community-building, and relationships of reverence and reciprocity with all living beings. She embodies multi-faceted bewonderment, spirited dedication, and a playful, sometimes peculiar, way-of-being in the world. For grounding and spaciousness, she is eternally grateful for daily meditation practice that she began in the last century.

Marianne’s current passions include co-creating and cultivating spaces for healing, transformation, and evolution through awareness and connection. She feels very blessed to be alive and active in this fertile and challenging time … especially with the company of the amazing Constellation that has come to light in Monterey Bay Meditation Studio.

Suggestion: Select 1 practice to engage at least 3x/day for a week (or 3). Notice what happens. Spoiler Alert: It really is like going to the gym — what-is-difficult-and-resisted-at-first is likely to shift into easier-after-a-while-of-consistent-practice.
