At Wild with Wheels, we don’t follow the trend or use the latest buzz words if they don’t resonate with our ethos.
The word ‘containers’ is being used recently for wellness retreats, and ‘safe spaces’. However this word is triggering and trauma bonded.
Many have escaped persecution, war zones and regimes by hiding in containers…
Many have been traumatised in contained spaces when they have spoken out for freedom.
Containment doesn’t evoke the freedom that being out in nature provides. Wellbeing without walls.
Wild with Wheels never claim to be therapists. We facilitate and enable access to wild spaces, so that Mother Nature completes the healing process.
We encourage, and offer inclusive interactions through available senses to connect with the elements of plants, wildlife, earth, air and water.
Wellbeing isn’t something to contain. Growth comes through facing shadows, sharing experiences, allowing space for being seen and heard.
When you contain something, it is restricted, it doesn’t grow as nature intended, there’s no space for movement.
Many people with disabilities and chronic conditions are restricted everyday by being ‘contained’ by their physical/ neurological and muscular, digestive / emotional/ sensory/ neurodiverse limitations.
We therefore offer to Nurture and flow without containment. We suggest using ‘safe space’ or other terminology and descriptions which don’t trigger that feeling of being contained.
Nature is limitless, and we believe that experiencing freedom, space to move and breathe the fresh air, without walls allows for healing ❤️🩹
