The Ground Beneath Our Work is Almost Here! 🌿

It’s been quite the journey since 2015 when I first dreamed of writing this book. In between, life took me on a few detours (and even a couple of other books along the way!), but the heart of this project never faded. Now, I’m thrilled to say that my book, The Ground Beneath Our Work: Nature-Informed Therapy and Care for a World in Need, is finally becoming a reality.
I can’t wait to share this labor of love with all of you and explore how nature can truly support our mental health and well-being. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to release!

Alpine Healing Retreat

I've always dreamt of creating a retreat that brings people to the place that shaped me—the mountains, culture, and quiet rhythms of where I grew up💛

This is no ordinary retreat.
It’s local. It’s intimate. It’s like being welcomed into my family’s way of life.

You won’t just see the Alps—you’ll feel held by them.

You’ll experience the small traditions, the food, the village pathways, the mountain air. And most importantly, you’ll have the space to let the mountains speak into the direction of your life.

Our theme this year:
✨ Who do I want to be?
A deep, reflective journey into identity, resilience, and inner alignment—supported by breathtaking landscape and soulful community.

We only offer this experience every other year, and we are down to our final two spots.

If you feel the pull, the mountains may be calling you. 🏔️

We already know noise affects mental health—but what if over-talking is another kind of noise pollution? This reflection explores why we fill every pause and how nature gently teaches us to listen with more presence, curiosity, and care.

🌱Nature has always held us — quietly, patiently, without asking for anything in return.
Today, we get to say thank you.

🎄Because of this incredible community, we were able to give back in a real and meaningful way to a 15-year-old girl from the Lumbee tribe by providing her gifts based on her wish list this holiday season!🎄

👏Immense gratitude to everyone who showed up, supported, and believed in what we’re building together.

💚This is what healing in community looks like!

I had the incredible privilege of presenting at the Spirituality in Psychotherapy Summit today alongside so many thoughtful leaders and learners in the field. With over 500 attendees joining from around the world, it’s clear how deeply we are all yearning for something more than symptom relief…

🌿 We are longing for connection — to ourselves, to one another, and to the larger living world that holds us.

In my session, I explored how nature can restore our sense of belonging — not as metaphor or backdrop, but as a relationship.

Thank you to everyone who showed up with curiosity and openness. May we continue to weave spirituality and psychotherapy in a way that honors the whole human experience — heart, mind, body, and earth. 🌎💚

Center of Nature Informed Therapy wants to give gratitude to all of those involved and who support our mission. Sometimes it’s good to have a simple reminder for you to remember.

Teaching Ecotherapy this weekend at Hood College offered such a reminder:
when emerging counselors reconnect with nature, something shifts.

Students described the class as transformative and dreamed up innovative ways to weave nature into the places where healing is most needed—schools, hospitals, trauma centers.

Moments like these give me hope for the field. 🌱
