Rewilding - you might have heard this word a lot the last few years. I stepped into it about ten years ago when I also made the decision to fully commit to graduate school for Counseling/Jungian Psychology and to continue a feral path outside of school that could only be trusted, not fully seen.⁣
⁣
The concept of rewilding originates as an application to the natural world and is defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary as: “The planned reintroduction of a plant or animal species and especially a keystone species or apex predator into a habitat from which it has disappeared (as from hunting or habitat destruction) in an effort to increase biodiversity and restore the health of an ecosystem”. Well, spoiler alert, humans are THE apex predators on Mother Earth, and in many ways we have vacated ourselves and monocropped our souls, spirit and the ground we tread on.⁣
⁣
Last year I “released” my website attached to years of clinical and creative work and research and a lifetime of seeking and soaking up experiences, and I never posted it here, really. So I am now pointing to it, in hopes these conjurings and resources ignite a small spark of intrigue, a little healthy smoldering to connect. I share writing, resources, info about my practice and group facilitation and conversations around the imperativeness of our reanimation of the world. Let’s connect, please!

Jumping right in here, in a space I have scarcely left a trace in for years. I have gotten to build years of my therapeutic/healing arts work and facilitation naturally and quietly. I have something coming up I am hoping will reach the people it needs to right now.⁣
⁣
Beginning March 26, I am offering an eight-week online process group I created, born of my experiences in private practice, my own journey and immersing myself in a lot of spaces: Radical Somatics: Body As Map Process Group. This is for female-identifying folks who experience chronic and complex illnesses and varying experiences in the world from the sort of able-bodied norms. ⁣
⁣
The group is to ideally be experienced the entire eight weeks instead of just drop-ins; however, I invite you to either arrange a 15-minute chat with me prior to if you’d like a little more info and comfort in how it will unfurl and also invite drop-ins for a one-session cost to the first. Supposed “limitations”can lead to #wildness too, and that’s the space we’ll be in. 🫧

Women, you’ve been asking, and it’s finally here.

As we enter into a season of reaching for more joy, stillness, connection, and space, we open the doors to Cohort 7 of our Women & Wolves Immersive Program, an 8-week journey of transformation and empowerment, guided by the wisdom of wolves.

Through seven weeks of stories, rituals, and heartfelt connection, you’ll be invited to align with your inner rhythm and the wild teachings of the wolves. The journey culminates in a sacred day-long retreat on the land at Wolf Connection Sanctuary, walking beside the wolves, coming together with your pack in presence, reflecting in stillness, and gathering in firelight. Led by longtime pack members and therapeutic facilitators, Micha Thomas and Laurie Cousins.
 Virtual Circles begin Wednesdays, January 28 - March 11. Retreat Day held on Saturday, March 14, 2026, 12:00-8:00 pm.   ✨ Applications are now open, and limited spots are available. Tap the bio to apply. 
🌙 Laurie and Micha will be leading one info call and sharing the recording with anyone almost ready to take this divine leap. Details coming soon. Reach out to provide your info to join.

(I recorded this sick with the first sinus infection or something of that ilk that I can remember in years. What’s a little extra nasality? I also wanted to post a few weeks ago and keep waiting to do so to honor all that is transpiring in the world. But I think THIS is the way I also honor that). ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In what I would call sacred timing, as I never would have dreamed it would take this long to get back to my work a bit more publicly - my weREWILD website and platform was recently overhauled and now out in the world after many years of tinkering. One of my favorite healers and esoteric teachers once told me all the work I’ve been doing quietly, offline, is “world apprenticing”, and I am finally ready and aching to share it. And I know as I do this, the world and many of its inhabitants are aching immensely, in different ways. I hope we can meet in all forms of the ache and connection.⁣⁣
⁣
I hope these conjurings and resources ignite a small spark of intrigue, a little healthy smoldering to connect. This is not the final stage of the weREWILD, but I’m not interested in finality or even really destinations, especially now. All I know or perhaps ever will is how to try to walk others and myself through living and dying well, sharing what I learn and what is bestowed upon me during my journey. With love, Micha⁣⁣

Does it ever seem like we know how to live, like truly live, as kids, and slowly some of that joyful instinct drains? Take how we naturally want to stick our feet and hands in dirt as young ones. ⁣

I find earthing brings me back to that childlike place. Earthing (or grounding) is commonly seen as walking barefoot outside or sitting or sleeping outdoors where the Earth's electrons transfer from the ground into the body, depositing benefits such as better sleep and reduced pain...and joy! Other benefits include reduced inflammation, lessened stress, and all of the benefits that come from neutralizing free radicals. In our stories today, we're listing some of our favorite organizations involved with the importance of the Earth beneath our feet. Who else can we share?! taken in Arroyo Seco Trailhead by @we.rewild
