Experience
Guide. Mentor.
Beginning as soon as I could wander, I felt 'called' to nature. I felt part of the land as I crawled under and over branches, threw tiny stones and rocks to water, stacked mud, built tiny homes, laid out under the stars at night, and spoke to the many beings who shared the land. It would be my honor to support the well-being of you or your group through nature therapy invitations.
