“Words fail to describe the beauty, wholesomeness, and perspective-shifting experiences of my Wildtender program. I am now tied to a long lineage of pilgrims who humbly bow to the natural world, remembering my place as kin amongst a vast interconnected web of other human and other-than-human beings. ”
— Ariel, Wild Dharma | May, 2023
“Participating in the Wild Pilgrimage was a joyous, profound, and expansive experience. Climbing through the Big Sur backcountry with a precious cohort of kindred human beings, I was able to re-connect to my curious, playful, sensitive, and engaged animal-self. With the support of the intentional ways of moving through the land, facilitation of human and more-than-human connection, and the five days of space from our fast-paced modern world, I felt my nervous system reset in a way I was sure was no longer possible. I also laughed and loved harder than I have in a really long time.”
