Why Shadow Work?

Within each of us lies a shadow—the unacknowledged parts of our psyche, shaped by past experiences, fears, and unspoken truths. This retreat is your invitation to turn inward with curiosity and compassion, shining a light on these hidden aspects of yourself. By embracing your shadow, you’ll unlock profound healing, deeper self-awareness, and a renewed sense of clarity and purpose.

Guided By Experience

For centuries, sailors needed a lodestar to guide them through the darkness of night. Now more than ever, people are searching for a brighter way—a different way. Without a map, it’s too easy to get lost, deluded, confused, and discouraged along the way. You need a guide who can give you the right direction, offer necessary encouragement, and help you avoid the clutches of the ego. Someone who has already traveled the paths, learned the byroads, and blazed trails that have never been walked before.

As an outdoor guide, backpacker, nature-based mentor, and storytelling goddess, I offer guidance for finding your true, authentic path through life. My mission is to open minds to new discoveries and inspire others to live their truest, most authentic lives. In doing so, I create a strong, compassionate, and loving environment that facilitates deep healing and sacred connection to Nature. Every person can open up, be real, and reimagine themselves while finding a new community of friends.

I humbly share my inspiring collection of ancient wisdom, personal stories, and the sage advice I’ve gained through my experience and reflection as an explorer, writer, coach, and facilitator. Sharing my deeply personal experience of how I overcame obstacles to accomplish my dreams, I’m here to guide you through your own bold adventure, ensuring that you feel safe, supported, and truly connected to the natural world around you.

As a seasoned nature mentor and international tour guide, I bring decades of hands-on experience in leading individuals through some of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes. Whether you’re new to the wilderness or a seasoned adventurer, I’m here to ensure you feel empowered and ready to take the first steps on your own quest for greater understanding and deep transformation.

This is an invitation to step out from your ordinary life and take the first steps on your own journey.
