This group is for adults and young adults looking to deepen their connection with nature as a source of healing, grounding, and self-discovery. It is for those who enjoy being outdoors and are seeking a unique therapeutic experience beyond the four walls of an office.This group is designed for adults and young adults who are feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected from themselves. It’s a supportive space for anyone needing a reset—to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what truly matters. Whether you're navigating stress, life transitions, or simply craving more balance, this group is here to help you prioritize your well-being and reclaim your energy.

Consistent attendance is encouraged to get the most out of this experience, but attending every session is not required. It is not required that you are in individual therapy, though it is encouraged that you have outside support of some kind to process any discoveries that may arise.

Participants are responsible for transporting themselves to the various locations, providing themselves water, and dressing appropriately for the weather and for gentle movement on trails.

Each 2-hour session is a guided journey into nature. We will gather at a designated trailhead or park area and begin with a brief check-in and a grounding exercise to help us arrive fully in the space. The core of our time will be spent doing a gentle, structured activity designed to engage your senses and deepen your connection with the environment. This might include a silent mindful walk, a sensory awareness meditation, or creating transient art with natural materials.

Following the main activity, we will come together for a group sharing circle. This is an opportunity (always optional) to share your experience, witness the experiences of others, and explore the personal meanings or metaphors that arose for you. We will close our session with a final check-out, ensuring you feel grounded before you depart.

TBD, based on interest. Reach out to us to discuss scheduling.
