Nature-based Chaplain, Somatic Nature Therapy Institute

As a nature-based chaplain, my role is to support folks in exploring questions of meaning, purpose, identity, values, and belonging—especially as they arise through relationship with the natural world. I offer nature-based chaplaincy as a practice of deep listening and co-creation with the more-than-human world and support individuals in exploring their connection to nature as a source of meaning, resilience, and belonging. My work at SNTI includes holding space for rites of passage, community offerings and working one-on-one to support spiritual exploration in relationship with land, weather, seasons, plants, and animals in both wild and domesticated spaces.
