Grief lives in the body. So does healing. Grief Training Through Backpacking is a six-day intensive that takes mental health professionals deep into the wilderness to study grief through movement, nature, and shared experience.

This training combines rigorous theoretical learning with embodied practice. By day, you will hike through varied terrain while engaging in facilitated discussions on grief theory, bereavement support models, and the unique role nature plays in metabolizing loss. By evening, you will sit around the fire and explore how outdoor settings invite the kind of slow, somatic processing that office-based therapy cannot always reach.
