I love Back to Basics in Pine River! It’s an annual event and we get to see friends new and old. I especially love running into past clients who’ve tripped with me. All the smiles. 😊🤗🫂♥️

When wildlife steps onto our property, it isn’t “trespassing.” It’s surviving. 🌿
Every day, countless animals cross human land because we’ve claimed most of the Earth for ourselves.

The truth is: this planet was never meant to be ours alone. It’s a shared home—belonging to millions of other species, each struggling in their own way to adapt to a changing world. Sharing space with them may feel inconvenient sometimes, but it’s part of living on a shared planet. 🌍

Today, 95% of Earth’s land has been reshaped by cities, farms, and roads. Forests are cut, wetlands drained, grasslands paved over. The untouched wilderness left behind is far too little for all who once roamed freely.

That’s why we now see bears wandering into yards, coyotes pacing suburban streets, or deer grazing quietly in neighborhoods. They’re not invading. They’re not dangerous intruders. They’re simply searching—for food, for water, for a safe place to exist. 🐾

If we dream of a healthier Earth, we must learn to leave space not only for ourselves but for the wild hearts that keep this planet alive.

✨ Let’s bring compassion back into being human. ✨

Journey Inside...Outside™

Guiding Spirit Journeys incorporates facets of our natural world to connect you to your inner nature. Journey to remote wilderness and experience solitude, breathless landscapes and incredible challenges that grow you from the inside out.

Your guide, Melissa has experience with leading groups both young and the young at heart safely through the wilderness. Her love of nature and adventurous spirit make the perfect combination for a wilderness guide.

Choose from multiple Journeys that incorporate elements complimentary to nature such as yoga, journaling, meditation, hiking, healing, ceremony, and coaching to an already extraordinary experience of 5-10 days of wilderness immersion.

Group sizes are small and intimate due to the fragile nature of the wilderness environment. There are options to join one of the Journeys already scheduled and offered or gather your small group and create your own.
