ABOUT THE WILDERNESS WITHIN 

Learn how to navigate your internal world with Rachel Fairhurst

FOLLOW YOUR HEART, IT KNOWS THE WAY

Recovery from trauma begins with connection, self-regulation, consistency, and discipline. We believe that you are the solution, and education is your guide to achieving recovery and self-mastery. Since trauma often stems from relationships, true healing must also occur through relationships—with yourself, others, the environment, and the world around you. Together, we can foster growth, transformation, and holistic healing on every level."

"Navigating the Wilderness Within: Healing Trauma Through Insight and Connection."

Our vision is to establish a nature-based trauma recovery through education center—a sanctuary where educational resources and restorative experiences in the natural world come together to support healing and empowerment. This space will serve as a dedicated hub for trauma recovery education, where individuals can learn skills to heal, grow, and thrive.

We believe that recovery through education should be accessible to all. True healing begins within, as each person takes responsibility for their internal landscape. Mastery over one’s inner world is achieved through teaching, shared practices, and intentional self-discovery, enabling individuals to reclaim control of their healing journey and cultivate a resilient, empowered future.

Our approach is rooted in the integration of earth-based wisdom, Indigenous traditions, and clinical practices. We recognize that trauma recovery is not one-size-fits-all. By combining evidence-based methods with spiritual and shamanic frameworks, we create a model that addresses the whole person—body, mind, emotions and spirit.

We aim not to foster dependence on external systems but to inspire self-reliance through shared knowledge, practical guidance, and community learning. By equipping individuals with the skills and tools they need, we empower them to shape their own path forward, transforming adversity into an opportunity for growth and connection.

This vision also acknowledges the profound connection between humans and the natural world. In the wilderness, we find not only a reflection of our inner struggles but also the tools for healing. Through this nature-centered approach, we offer restorative experiences that reconnect individuals with the earth and their true selves, creating a harmonious balance between external and internal worlds.

"You hold the key to your own healing and transformation. You are the one who can lead yourself home, all the journey requires is the right knowledge, the clarity to apply it, and the conscious awareness to take each step forward."
