We're all Earthly Delights...by Nature!
We believe nature connection is at the heart of culture repair, and we're here for it!
Casey O'Leary
Speaker, Educator & Science Communicator
I am a sought-after public speaker who enthusiastically engages audiences about the wonders of the natural world and their roles within it. Dozens of inspiring presentations and classes to local, regional, and national audiences have offered the same hopeful message to attendees: You Are Natural. You belong here, and your choices matter. And just as exquisitely, you are merely one of a billion species on the planet, all of whom have intrinsic value and are doing equally amazing things as you!
I hold a Master's degree in Environmental Education and Science Communication and I recognize the value in offering inspired classes & presentations in both traditional and non-traditional settings. I am at home on the big stage as well as the local pub, and everything in between!
Forest Therapy Guide
I am a certified Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy. This unique practice, also called Forest Bathing, is a simple but profound way of coming into deeper relationship with the earth, and provides participants with many scientifically-documented health benefits. "Therapy" sessions are actually slow walks (or sits) which typically take place outside and span 1-3 hours in length. As a horticulturist, interacting with land this way has been incredibly valuable for my approach to land stewardship as well as for my sanity! I am exceited to share this impactful process with you!
Small-Business and Leadership Coach
After founding and running several successful, big-hearted, earth-centered small businesses, I love coaching other new entrepreneurs who want to do business in kinder, more regenerative ways than our cutthroat capitalist culture models.
About my business background:Fouder and former CEO of the Snake River Seed Cooperative, which works with over 50 farmers across the Intermountain West to grow a robust regional seedshed for the Intermountain West. Also, for 18 years, I was the owner-operator of Earthly Delights Farm, an urban farm in Boise, Idaho, which specialized in organic vegetable and seed production and offered on-farm internships and classes for the community. During that time, I also ran Earthly Delights Landscapes, which helped homeowners transform their yards into native plant, edible, and pollinator-friendly landscapes.
