Do you know that time spent in nature is one of the best ways to inspire creativity? By taking our writing practice outdoors, we sharpen our senses, take creative cues from unexpected places, and allow for the “relaxation response” to kick in.

By engaging in the practices below, we remember that writing is waaaay more than a mental activity; it’s an embodied practice. To become better writers we need to get our bodies involved. 

  • Forest Therapy (forest bathing, shinrin-yoku) invites us to fully embrace the present moment through a series of sensory invitations.

    It asks us to slow down, pay attention and relate to our bodies and our surroundings.

    It's a wellness practice that everyone, writers especially, should engage in.

  • A yoga rewilded practice remembers that yoga’s roots are in the forest and opens the way to Consciousness through relationship with the natural world. It intentionally applies yogic principles within, alongside, and centered upon nature.

    Yoga Rewilded brings us back into relationship with our bodies and the earth we live upon. It centers and grounds us, providing a welcoming foundation from which to cultivate a writing practice (and life in general!).

What they’re saying,

  • Lisa M.

    “Kristy’s rewilding walks immerse you in nature's gentleness and beauty. They offer an opportunity to disconnect, calm yourself, and quiet reflection. It is an exercise in self-care, and we all deserve some self-love. I look forward to the next outing!”

  • Betty S.

    “I ‘rewilded’ twice with Kristy – Spring & Fall. Kristy’s guidance was great. She provided opportunities for us to experience nature in our own ways and in some new ways.

    I really enjoyed reflecting and meditating in nature, surrounded by the kindred energies of nature, Kristy and of the group. I leave her gatherings feeling peacefully energized. I highly recommend the experience.”

  • Joanna B.

    “Kristy led two outdoor yoga sessions that I was lucky enough to attend. She created such a relaxing environment, supported a wide range of yoga abilities within the class and she ended class with a sound therapy experience. I have never felt more relaxed and centered as I did after those sessions.

    Kristy incorporates quotes and mantras to support one’s growth on and off the yoga mat. I will definitely reach out to Kristy again to lead a future yoga session for my friends and family.”

  • Suzanne H.

    “I’m a long-time yogi, but this was my first time practicing outside. I loved it. I’m hooked. Looking forward to the next one!”

  • Gwen F.
