Description
“What if our primary human need and opportunity is not to endlessly attend to our emotional wounds and the eradication of perceived psychological disorders but rather to fathom and flesh out our natural human wholeness and to embody this integral bounty as a gift to others and our world?” — Bill Plotkin, Wild Mind
“What each of us practices at the scale of our individual lives is what is then possible for us at a large scale. I’m a microcosm of all the possible liberation, justice, pleasure and honesty in the universe, and I act accordingly.” – adrienne maree brown
The Problem: Disconnection
The range of symptoms that blanket the western world–depression, anxiety, addiction, distraction, grief—have their deeper source, in part, in the disconnection that pervades our lives: disconnection from each other, from the animate world and our more than human kin, disconnection from parts of ourselves we’ve exiled; and from the deeper sense of meaning and purpose at our core.
The Solution: Claim Your Wholeness and Wild Purpose
With wild nature as our ally, mirror, and co-creator, we help bring out and reconnect with the wholeness and vitality of what already exists.
We need wild nature to evoke our own wholeness, that we yearn for meaning and connection, and that each person carries a unique soul calling—and it is the task of each of us to dig it out, cultivate it, and then share it.
Through participation in custom 1-on-1 mentoring/ecotherapy sessions/creativity consultations that include a toybox of earth-rooted and soul-deepening practices and concepts, you will awaken and integrate the fullness of your body-heart-soul-spirit. Assisting you in your next, aligned steps forward.
We will explore the parts of your inner world and outer life that are aligned and not aligned, and what the next unfurling of your journey looks like. You will journey full circle through the four directions and seasons of human nature with the help and witnessing of a knowledgeable and compassionate guide. If local, each session includes time together and solo time on the land.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Each session is different, but all of our work together involves an initial bit of time to identify and clarify what is currently alive for you and the things that are calling within you to open up, lean into, and claim–with nature as your ally.
Your first sessions will be an opportunity to really tell YOUR heart story and have it deeply listened to (the story of your life…the story that has you on the edge of things…the story that has you hooked…the story of your deepest dream…tell THAT story).
Together we’ll co-create a map and a plan, personalized to you, for your following sessions.
What the package includes:
- An in-depth conversation with me at the beginning of your journey.
- You’ll write an intention letter prior to your first on-the-land mentoring session. This will be refined over time.
- Individual sessions virtually or if local, in a beautiful wild nature, including both council time and solo time
- Prompts, activities, and ideas for taking your work/play/creativity further between sessions.
- Surprises in the form of creations, tools, or poems that you can take away with you as ways of coming back to your learnings.
ENERGY EXCHANGE:
- A 1 hour session/consultation is $75-100
- A 2-hour session is $150-200
- A five-session package is $400

*NOTE: Nature-based mentoring is not Psychotherapy. I am a certified Ecotherapist through The Earthbody Institute and the work of Wild Nature Heart is a soul-rooted practice with nature as context and mirror, and one tool for self-growth and connection and is not meant to be psychotherapy.
