"The natural world needs us to notice its beauty. It is a mirror reflecting our sacredness back to us."
-Bill Plotkin
The Wild
Our Living Teacher
As children a lot of us aren't taught to be ourselves, we are taught to fit in, and in many cases this helps us survive. However, often this means that we turn away from the more sensitive, intuitive, childlike wonder, and imaginative parts of ourselves. In doing so we disconnect from the emotional and spiritual parts of us that hold the information about who we truly are and our larger purpose. We disconnect from our inborn gifts, talents, and uniqueness we are meant to share with the world. This often results in feelings of loneliness, emptiness, stuckness, anger, and sadness as adults.
The Wild isn’t about ignoring consequences or acting recklessly out of selfishness. Instead, it’s about tuning into the underlying natural wisdom that exists in all life. It’s the force that all living things come from and eventually return to. Embracing this allows us to live more genuinely, feel connected, and fully experience our lives.
This Wild is the very essence of who we are as humans and is the thread linking us to everything around us. Yet, many of us are unaware of this truth or choose to deny it. This disconnection from our Wild nature is at the root of much of our modern-day suffering—appearing as anxiety, depression, chronic illness, poverty, deforestation, loneliness, extinction, abuse, and violence. Coping skills and tools can help with immediate discomfort, but for true, sustainable healing and change, we need to reclaim our wholeness. This means reconnecting with our identity as a member of nature and recognizing ourselves as an integral part of it.
This is where Reclaiming The Wild comes in. With somatic, Nature, and emotion-based therapeutic methods you will be guided to transform your deeper wounds, fears, and worries from something that holds you back to something that opens up potential for connection, self-love, and joy.
Please reach out today if this resonates with you. You are not alone in feeling this way and you don't have to wander these woods alone.
"There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature—the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter."
-Rachel Carson
