Gratitude
I offer my deepest gratitude for all of my collaborators, teachers, family and friends who have supported me along my path.
Collaborators
Vanessa Eyen
Vanessa is passionate about sharing deep and meaningful experiences in the healing beauty of wild nature. Following her heart she has been led to co-create and guide rites of passage, educational, and adventure wilderness programs for 25 years. She also gives back to the community as a licensed psychotherapist currently as the founder and supervisor of two local school based counseling programs and the Center for Nature Based Therapy. The greatest joy and spiritual teacher in her life is the journey of motherhood with her son Sage.

Ecology of Leadership
For the past twenty years, I have been living on the homelands of the Coastal Miwok. I am greatly appreciative of their tending of this land for over 10,000 years and I humbly do my part to tend and care for this land, in honor of the next 7 generations. In recognition of these stolen lands and the work to return land to Native peoples, 10% of all money earned will be given to the Huukuiko, Inc. which is dedicated to supporting the Coast Miwok Tribal Council of Marin, the land's original caretakers (coastmiwokofmarin.org).

Sharon Siegler, LMFT (she/her) is a licensed Marriage and Family therapist living and practicing in Sebastopol, California. In her practice, Sharon supports her clients in getting to know themselves, recognizing their strengths, accepting their past, and exploring how it impacts who they are today. Sharon’s greatest resource is nature. It is a healing ground she loves to incorporate with her clients. Inviting nature to be the mirror and container for the therapeutic process has been mystical, magical, and very successful.
