Something shifts when the session moves out of the office and amongst the trees... but a lot of therapists aren't use to working in this way.

ROOTED & ALIVE is an outdoor camp/conference/retreat and four days of exploring what healing can look like outdoors. Curated for practicing mental health professionals, our theme is Nature as Co-Therapist: Taking therapy outdoors.

Whether you're a therapist curious about taking your practice into the wild, a creative arts practitioner looking to expand your therapeutic repertoire, or simply someone drawn to being outdoors, you're welcome here.

Through dance therapy, art therapy, drama therapy and music therapy, forest bathing, somatic practice, and workshops on the land itself, we'll ask a simple question: what's possible when we invite our relationship with nature to run the session?

Come find out what the old trees already know. Join us now:

Book soon as there are limited spots available and registrations closes on August 24th.

Most people, including therapists themselves, think therapy happens in a room with four beige-painted walls, a closed door, and a ticking clock.
BUT... what happens when we step outside?

ROOTED is four days of exactly that. Dance, art, drama and music therapy. Forest bathing, somatic practice, and workshops on the land itself. We ask one simple question: what's possible when we invite our relationship with nature to run the session?

For therapists ready to take their practice past the office door, for creative arts practitioners, and for anyone who's ever felt more honest outdoors than in.

September 3 to 6, 2026. Spots are limited.
