Finding Inner Ground
Nature Therapy Days on the Land
Slow down, breathe deep, and connect to the earth around you
How can tending a fire teach you about your inner vision? How might moving across a rugged landscape reflect back to you your own edges? What opens up when you invite nature in to support the questions you hold about your life?
Nature Therapy:
The research has been done, and the results are in: spending time in nature is healing! (but did we really need science to convince us?) Time outdoors regulates the nervous system, reduces stress, and eases symptoms of anxiety and depression. It’s proven to help with ADHD, AND it even enhances creativity. But there’s something more: we are part of the natural world, whether we acknowledge it or not. When we spend intentional time connecting with nature, it will reflect back to us who we are: our strength, cycles, stillness, wildness, messiness, hunger, and beauty. Nature reminds us of our belonging and can return us to our Inner Ground. See below for details:

About your guide
Carly has spent the last 15 years in a long-term relationship with nature. From her ecological studies at Fleming College, to her time teaching survival skills to kids, all the way through to her stint running back-country camps for teen girls, nature has housed her work and her heart. After all, they say if you want to learn about secure attachment—-go to nature! Carly has studied nature-based community building and rites of passage through the Art of Mentoring, and brings this influence to her current work as an Integrative Counsellor and Somatic Group Facilitator. Whatever the work she is doing, Carly strives to bring a radical acceptance to those participating. When not running programs, Carly can be found taking dips in wild bodies of water, writing emo poetry, and going on road trips!
