Author Talk: Raven Murphy
Raven Murphy—speaker, seasoned nature guide, and author of Shut Up and Listen—invites audiences to rediscover how nature can ease stress, spark clarity, and restore perspective. With her candid, funny, and heartfelt style, Raven blends storytelling with hands-on experiences that make every talk feel more like an adventure than a lecture—proving mindfulness doesn’t require gurus, yoga mats, or candles, just fresh air and an open mind.
Drawing on insights from her book—like “Nature’s Your Therapist—No Waiting Room Required” and “Branching Out in Style”—Raven shows how ordinary encounters outdoors carry extraordinary wisdom. Expect an engaging, campfire-style session that leaves you recharged, inspired, and ready to see both nature and yourself in a whole new way.
Signed copies of Raven’s books will be available for purchase following the event.
About the Author
Raven Murphy is a speaker, author, and nature guide who helps people slow down, laugh more, and reconnect with the outdoors. She’s the author of Shut Up and Listen: A No-BS Guide to Unlocking Nature’s Wisdom and its companion, The Winter Edition: Snow, Slush, and Sanity—books that mix humour and insight to make nature feel accessible to everyone.
Known for her candid and relatable approach, Raven shows that you don’t need to be an expert hiker or meditation master to benefit from nature’s calm. As she says, “When you give nature your attention, it gives you back calm, clarity, confidence, and a sense of belonging you can’t find anywhere else.”
When she’s not writing or speaking, Raven leads immersive walks, crafts nature-inspired music and meditations, and proves that nature has plenty to teach—if you’re ready to Shut Up and Listen. She makes her home on the shores of Georgian Bay, where nature remains her constant companion and greatest teacher.
