"Between two pine trees there is a door
leading to a new way of life."
“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.”
— John Muir
What if the clarity you need isn't found in your head, but in your feet? What if it’s not in the office but outdoors?
Sometimes a weekly session isn’t enough.
You find yourself somewhere in need of help — divorce, career upheaval, grieve, loss, a disillusionment with God, yourself, or your life. Perhaps you find yourself with an ache or internal crisis you can't quite name. The kind of turning point that demands more than fifty minutes in an office.
This is therapy in wilderness. An intensive format where embodied movement and the meets therapeutic depth work.
Eight hours instead of one.
Trail walking instead of sitting across from each other.
Not a hike with a therapist, but a contained transformation experience where leaving the ordinary world behind creates space for what needs attention.
You’ll begin your experience with some initial online meetings and prep work to get to know me as your guide and clarify your goals and hopes. Then we’ll meet up at a trailhead near Rainer or head out into the Olympic Peninsula, a little more than an hour from Tacoma (enough to get away from the noise that can distract us all from our hearts).
You can expect trail walks and times to talk on the move as well as moments to sit and give space to the deep places that need tending to.
Time for solitude and reflection. A guide who can help you walk the paths you’re been afraid to enter so you can find the treasure that you seek.
You bring your heart, questions, and walking stick; I’ll bring my over 10 years of guidance and work with men and we’ll discover together what past wants to teach you and set a course for hope, clarity and goodness for the future to come.
