Re-Wild in Alaska

Go Back to the Beginning

Humans aren't meant to be "civilized." When we get too far away from our animal nature, we forget our roots.

As we go to the untouched beauty of Nature, let yourself re-wild. Remember who you are. Surround yourself with the big sky and let your soul sing.

Explore Your Roots

Consider this an inner world journey as well as an outer world one.

Most days we will be outdoors. Allow your imagination to go into places that perhaps we’ve not visited since we were children.

During our time together, should any ancestral wounds arise, your facilitator, Laura Giles, is available to help process them. If the group desires, she can even cultivate rituals to aid in this process.
