ETHOS & ETHICS

In a world that is stature driven, certificated-obsessed, accredit-obsessed, and constantly validation-seeking, Narah Wilder invites us on to a different path, one that is raw, wild, and more intimate. She dares us to shift away from these rigid academic hierarchies and to turn inward, into the depth of our own medicine. For her it is not the certificate that grants us the wisdom to hold space, to tend, or to guide; it is the courage to encounter ourselves in totality, the strength to descend into the marrow of our existence, and the integrity with which we hold, bear, and respond to life.

And how far we have de-colonised and re-indigenised ourselves.

Through Meta DNA & Ecological Bodywork, Narah's work is a living, breathing reflection of the wisdom of the body in relation to earth, spirit, and the unseen animistic forces which permeate all things. She believes that true medicine can't be commodified or taught, it can only be received in loving spaces through the stability and humility of our hands, the depth of our presence, and the love with which we inhabit our bodies and environments. Can our capacity to hold and tend to another really be adequately judged or measured in what certificates they hold ? Or could it be measured and felt by the seeker in the available depth of love, care and compassion they feel upon engaging with a practitioner?

Can you call home your instinct? 

Your discernment…

Are you connected to your gut, as god's messenger ?

Narah's guidance is experiential, eco-somatic, and rooted in remembrance. She does not consider what she does to be a teaching nor an offering of any formal type academic framework, it is through guidance from listening to your own breath, and the natural wisdom of the body that you learn to lead yourself with your community. Narah is just a guide. Yet her tending calls us home, to our hands, to our navels, our breath and our organs, to the mothering strength that lives in every one of us and knows how to care, love, nurture, hold, and tend. With humility, love, and acceptance for what is unseen, Narah calls others not to some bodywork mastery, but to an understanding of self, our humanity, our bodies and the reclamation of our place in our environments.

This is not a journey of achievement. 

There is no end.

No level 1,2,3, and no advanced version.

Only beginnings and continuance.

It is a journey of relentless and endless devotion.

Our heart-print on earth.

Clearly, we want to ascertain that when we go to an Osteopath, that they are actually trained in Osteopathy but people don’t come to Meta DNA & Ecological Bodywork for the manual therapy; they come here to be held in love and bring forth places that are yet unknown to them. 

For that Narah can’t offer you a certifiable background check……

You will have to feel her heart and see if it beats with you.

With Meta DNA & Ecological Bodywork, Narah's practice is a living exploration of the interrelated connection among body, earth, and spirit. It is a return to the primal ways, where learning is through lived experience, careful listening, witnessing and remembering our bodily wisdom. Responsibility, and accountability are her initiations. She does not travel this path alone; she is shaped by her elders, tested by her relationships, and held to her integrity by those who observe her. Without these relationships, healing for her is disconnected, cut loose from the very intent that gives it meaning, possibilities and authenticity

Tell me, have you ever been held in the sheerness of love and in the absolute presence of warmth? No course, program or accreditations certifiable on paper has ever shown Narah how to love ... .yet it is the frequency within that healing occurs.

Could we measure our space holders by their capacity to love and hold us?

Narah will love you fiercely and gently.

Who initiated Narah into the art of poetics and love?…

Who taught her how to hold humans in the poetic experiences of their bodies?

Who taught her how to re-enchant humans with their poetic bodies?

No one. 

That was carved out of her own deeply medicinal pathway.

It came forth as a gift, an instinct and a deep inner knowing.

It came after transmuting grief, in the aftermath of finding herself after being lost, it rose like curls of smoke out of the absolute destruction of the self smashed into nothing but mist.

Have you ever been held by the poetics of the body, its rhythms, its silences, its yet uninhabited knowing? 

Are there others? 

Narah wants to connect. 

She will only offer you her heart-work.

An offer of the possibilities you hold within by trusting again the bio-poetics of your body.

You decide. You lead here, always.

But this is not a place you get to; it is one into which you can only fall. It is a trust fall.

It is also a very ordinary, humble, lifelong relationship, a daily devotion of showing up in the mystery at the center of and around you. Narah's approach is that of devotion, to your own emergence, to the unseen within you, and to your deep ecological intelligence and your metamorphic movements. This path here is one of growing in community and being witnessed. It isn’t for the faint hearted. You will need to discover your earthen grit to bear being with your own ordinariness.

But it is a path of service and of great responsibility.

Therein lies something extraordinary, does it not?

It is remembering who we are, not by moving in accordance any given framework but by how we show up, again and again, with heart, with courage, and with the willingness to be shaped by those who truly see and love us.

You may not be satiated or satisfied by any of this. 

And thats okay too.

Although Narah’s heart beats for this, we can offer you the other version too.

You can get a sense for the spaces Narah has passed through - below.

No hiding the fact that over the past 20 years, Narah has stepped away from, distanced herself from, and even walked out of several trainings. (And for the record, she is 43, people often assume she’s much younger!) While she remains grateful for the lessons they provided, some of these experiences served as powerful teachers in how not to hold space and how not to lay hands on a body. For this reason, she chooses not to name and list them.

She is well aware that people often sift through a practitioner’s list of past trainings, searching for new ways to expand. She’s been there, done that and has learned the hard way that not all spaces are safe or integral, even if they are associated with someone we admire. Because of this, she only shares and stands behind the teachings that remain in deep integrity with her at this moment in time.

Please note: Narah will not be able to respond to messages inquiring whether a particular training is a good fit for you or asking her to comment on her experiences. She encourages you to trust your own discernment and intuition.
