Opening the Channels: The Medicine of Nature
Anna O’Malley
We are living in times of great change. Many of us are holding a vision, carrying the seeds, and tending the soil of a regenerative future on this beautiful Earth. The Commonweal Garden is a place where the vision of this regenerative future has long been tended.
Join Anna O’Malley, physician-healer, lover of nature, and founder and director of Natura Institute for Ecology and Medicine, for an experience of the medicine available to us humans when we connect with land, nature, and our inner way of knowing.
We will open the channels through the senses and receive the invitation to drop into connection with the sentience here.
The profound beauty, wisdom, and abundant grace of the natural world is here in support of humans asking the sacred question: how may I be a better friend to this beautiful Earth? What is mine to do at this profound planetary moment? | Top photo: Anna O’Malley

Anna O’Malley, MD
Anna O’Malley is an Integrative Family and Community Medicine physician, a lover of Nature, and a mother of two incredible daughters. She founded and directs Natura Institute for Ecology and Medicine, a land-based program of Commonweal which lives in the Commonweal Garden, and is focused on inhabiting a regenerative vision for medicine and healing, in deep reciprocity with the natural world.
As a Bravewell Fellow graduated from the University of Arizona’s Program in Integrative Medicine, Anna is inspired to transform medicine. Her residency training at University of California, San Francisco at San Francisco General Hospital, her work within the California prison system, and her 15 years of primary care practice deepened her understanding of the social determinants of health, the beauty of the path of service, and the critical importance of inclusivity. She is animated by embodying the “healer in a village,” exploring innovative models applying Community as Medicine, and honoring the mysterious and beautiful cycles of Life.
