Caitlin Wild

Caitlin Wild is a wilderness guide, musician and facilitator of Wild Soul awakenings. A student of wild lands, her soul-calling is to be a bridge between humans and Nature. She has led both traditional and experimental wilderness workshops internationally and has devoted her life to re-membering us humans back to our wild soul. Using the modalities of Hakomi, EcoTherapy, sacred ritual, psychology, plant medicines and internal family systems (IFS), she lovingly slices through the illusions we humans hold of separation from the web of life. When we access and embody the truth of our earthly inter-being and open the door to the well of strength and resilience of the more-than-human web, wholeness spontaneously arises.

Caitlin holds these offerings with great respect and responsibility. Being born into an immense global initiation beckons us to evolve our internal and external systems towards liberation for all. This invitation calls us to wake-up to our greatest purpose and live into this initiation with courage, gentleness and tenacity. As the youngest ones at the earth party, it is essential that we return to the wisdom of our more-than-human elders and ancestors, expanding our capacity to be in right-relationship to and with the earth.
