Counselling Nature Connection Soulful Immersions
Connection-Based Healing
How incredible to live in a time when the stigma of the mental health conversation is fading? People are more versed than ever in the language of psychology and healing, and going to therapy is no longer something to be kept secret. Yet, this awareness doesn’t seem to be improving our overall well-being as a people. I believe that healing requires connection: to self and others, yes- but also to something bigger (nature, spirit, purpose). To feel a sense of belonging to the greater whole. That’s why authentic connection is at the heart of all that’s offered at Wilder Connections.

Nature Connection Therapy
Something potent can take place in our nervous systems and hearts when we spend time weaving threads of connection with the natural world from which we come. These sessions are designed to support you to work through the themes on your inner landscape using age-old practices of nature connection.

Nature Immersion
Even in the middle of the city of Toronto, the natural world is teaming over with conversation. Coyote, maple, red-tailed hawk, skunk cabbage- And yet sometimes, it takes leaving the known world for a while and venturing further from home to access deeper perspectives. Check out our upcoming retreats and canoe trips here.
-
Groups
Spring group: May-June 2025. In a radically accepting space we work together to unmask our authentic expressions. Held by the natural world, participants are invited to engage in practices of belonging to support a sense of connection to meet this changing world.
