Meaning * Purpose * Connection * In Relationship to the World

We provide coaching, mentoring, innovative programming, and facilitation of your existing group or organization in Fort Collins and the surrounding foothills and wilderness of Northern Colorado. Serving all genders, from childhood to elderhood. There are many paths to get reconnected. We invite you to find yours.

We are an inclusive circle of people who gather to guide each other and others in reconnecting to our human nature in our body, mind, and what is outside of us and remembering our relationship, place, and purpose in the natural world.

Foundations of our work

Nature is all around us. We are nature. Even the systems you think are most disconnected from nature that have been created by humans are connected to nature, because they were created by humans, who are part of nature and were often inspired by nature. Our aim is to illuminate and harness this wisdom and connection to nature to create community, belonging, and personal empowerment for growth. We do this through exploring and practicing in the wilderness, as well as the nature that is all around us in our cities.

You have everything you need already to make the next step. Finding the steps after that will come after you have taken that first step. Our role is that of guide, assisting you in reconnecting to that wisdom that is inside you and all around you in your world. We do this in two primary ways:

Individual one-on-one mentoring and coaching

Mentoring and coaching is different than therapy as it aims to help you know your whole self and all the parts of you more deeply, and how to empower you to utilize your full being in the world. Your whole self includes your gifts, talents, strengths as well as your shadows and limitations. Knowing yourself fully and knowing your purpose, mission, and vision is is essential for being successful, effective, allowing you to show up fully engaged in the world.

Group Work, Retreats, Workshops, and Vision Fast Rites of Passage

Much of our work is done in a group container. Although groups can produce anxiety in some people, especially those of us that are more introverted, the power of community to amplify hearing and seeing yourself in others helps us in so many ways. Though hyper-connected with the internet and smart phones, most of us feel some sort of loneliness or isolation. This is best remedied in community of well facilitated space. Connecting, understanding, and sharing our diversity and similarities is healing.

Our programs are primarily experiential. There is some instruction on practices, safety, and teachings/philosophy, but the emphasis is on you having your own experience and your own re-connection. In this interplay of intentional mindfulness in both isolation and connection of community that happens in vision fast, day long retreats, and other programs we can find our own meaning, purpose, community, and place in the world.
