How It Works:

Meet at a local park

with access to bathrooms and hiking trails.

Enjoy a brief grounding practice

in the comfort of The Land Inside van.

Check in

taking time to share what is alive in you

& what you wish to focus on.

Choose your medicine

You may prefer to stay sheltered in the van or go outside,

be active or rest,

use your voice, or create with your hands…

Meet the moment

and what your system needs.

I’ve lived through several personal healing processes through the course of my life so far. Through my experience, as well as through the passages I’ve witnessed with clients, I have come to identify two essential elements for the healing journey:

  1. Being seen, heard and understood by an empathic other, and

  2. Embodying compassion toward one’s self.

These elements shift the experience of the hurt one from a place of disconnection to a place of connection, from contraction to expansion, from fixity to flow.

If you are hurting and reading this, know that present within you right now are the sprouts of self compassion. The very act of seeking an empathic other is an act of self compassion. May you sense some goodness, right now, knowing this.

I encourage you to reach out.” - Wren
