The Art of Wholeness: Developing Inner Resources for a Soul-Centric Life

Join Sarah Frizelle and Becky Traptow for an experiential nature-based exploration of your Wild Mind. Based on the work of Bill Plotkin, this series will focus on building wholeness while also deepening your connection to the world around you.

This work supports the unfolding of healthy human beings, a crucial task in our time of environmental crisis because without healthy human beings, we have no hope of responding to our planet or of affecting real change in a time of need.

The Art of Wholeness: Developing Inner Resources for a Soul-Centric Life

These re-wilding walks are in service of helping human beings become more grounded in their wholeness, to be more connected to Earth and to support growth and connection in community. The Art of Wholeness is based on the Wild Mind model as developed by Bill Plotkin and the Animas Valley Institute. This walk marks the beginning of a series of nature wanders that will coincide with the four seasons and will introduce you to and help you deepen into your Wild Mind.

This program is for you if…

• you are curious about your own wholeness,  
• you are a lover of nature,
• you are interested in doing your own healing and wholing work,
• you want to learn how nature can support your wholing and healing journey!

We seek to share these offerings with adults over 25 who are self-reflective, interested in their personal growth as well as interested in deepening their connection to self, others and the world they live in. This program is aimed at individuals who long to deepen into their own inner healing journey and are curious about how being in relationship to the earth in an intentional way, would support this unfolding. This is for people who want to take responsibility for themselves and for the planet they are blessed to live on. We use a trauma informed, parts therapy model.
