Somatic EcoPsychology and Wilderness Rite of Passage Program
Join Therapist, Ecotherapist, and Wilderness Guide, Dave Talamo from Wilderness Reflections, Oregon, in this one-time, unique Wilderness Guide Training program.
Blending the ancient ceremony of the wilderness solo (or ‘quest’) with contemporary advances in ecopsychology and mindfulness-based therapy, this is one-of-a-kind training that will teach you how to ally with Nature as you bring your people through major life transitions with meaning, joy, and connection.
With a curriculum informed by the ceremony of the wilderness solo, ecopsychology, Hakomi®, Somatic Experiencing®, and other therapies, we’ll teach you an array of practices that help people turn to wild Nature with the major changes, dilemmas, needs, and hopes of their lives.
Throughout our time together, we’ll form a community of peers that will nurture and support your personal growth and professional progress as a wilderness rites of passage guide.
