Interview with Nathan Warren

The WholeHearted Healer

Aveen has a conversation with Nathan Warren about building conscious community in our world- through weekly gatherings in our homes, in our organizations and our nations.

Nathan is an earthling, a lover of life. He is a co-creator, along with his wife Amanda, with two beautiful children, Magnolia and Finn. He is a blue heart 💙, meaning he believes in love like a river, a wellspring, filled with the potential to flow out from each one of us into the world, bringing life to all that it touches, just as a river brings life to every valley it flows through.

Nathan is the co-founder of Heart River 💙, a nested valley community dreamed into existence in Oregon's coastal range mountains, just west of Philomath, and he is the co-creator of the Community of Love and Appreciation (COLA), an online community inspired by just 3 words “Love and Appreciation”, and woven together by a belief in the shared reality of life on earth. 🌱🌏

Nathan is the co-author of Conscious Community Theory, an organizational function theory that seeks to put all human designed systems, technologies, and processes in service to life on earth through the elevation of human awareness, and through the softening of human purpose. He is a grapegrower and winemaker and co-owner of Harris Bridge Vineyard, Winery and Distillery. He teaches Corporate Finance at the University level, where he asks students to wrestle with the sources and drivers of value within a living world. And, he is a Legal Information Officer with the State of Oregon where he works in support of the humanization of the correctional system through the Oregon Way.

Nathan loves moments immersed in water, in music and poetry, and in the presence of loves. He believes in realities like you, the forest, the ocean, gravity and sunlight, and he believes in ideas like original love and native intelligence. His daily practices are observing, understanding, and learning, and his vision is for a world that blooms into a partnership ecosystem, flowing love and appreciation for life in all directions at once. Nathan lives for sincere connection, and he invites you to reach out. He looks forward to meeting you soon.
