Dr. Jim Conroy and Ms. Basia Alexander are expert Nature Communicators and Tree Whisperers® who have dedicated their lives to restoring inner functionality and climate resilience to stressed trees and plants of all kinds as well as to teaching people how to Partner with Nature in a Nature-centric way. People experience an Eco UpShift in heart, mind, and Spirit while becoming empowered stewards of their beloved trees and sacred Gaia.
Their BioBalia Institute School offers courses in a globally unique approach people use in their own backyards or local parks to find inner quiet and to restore the inner functionality and climate responsiveness of trees, plants, crops, herbs, ocean-based plants, gardens, and forests. People learn to come from the plant’s point of view, use collaborative consciousness, and co-create as equals with the consciousness and Life Force of plants. The goal is to bring forth a livable planet. “BioBalia” means biology in balance—a whole greater than the sum of its parts.
