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. 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. Her interest in the Amazon Herb Company came about in a fun way. While attending a networking party for healers, Nisa tried some of the Amazon Herb Co. organic chocolate balls and the Treasure Tea, offered to her by a woman named Carolyn. Then Nisa “saw” a large tree trunk growing out of Carolyn’s head. She offered to sing her a song about this tree, Carolyn agreed, and the trees and plants of the Amazon sang through Nisa thanking Carolyn for being part of this company which gives 10% of its profits to buy up land in the Amazon Rainforest for preservation, and has helped many indigenous tribes to own their own land or create park land where the tribes may live. |
