Hiking My Feelings
Our Mission
Hiking My Feelings began on a mountaintop east of San Diego, CA in 2018 – a mantra, battlecry, and most importantly a replacement to the eating and drinking that had once been go-to methods for handling the reverberating emotions of lived trauma.
Since that day, we’ve been on a mission to improve community health by creating opportunities for people to experience the healing power of nature.
What unites us? A deep desire for healing and a growing awareness that self love isn’t selfish.
Our Work
Our programs and events cultivate a judgement-free space where transformational healing is possible. We introduce people to mindfulness and the healing power of nature, and the results are lasting improvements to mental, physical and spiritual health.
This is more than learning how to set up a tent, this is wilderness wellness. Through guided self-discovery exercises, in-the-field education, physical movement, and storytelling, we heal and transform our relationship to self so we can show up more powerfully for our communities.
We know that when there are spaces where vulnerability is recognized as a strength and empathy is the norm, deep healing is possible. Everything we do is designed to support participants as they embark on this journey to blaze a trail to self-love.
Our Impact
Each healing act we take for ourselves ripples out to our community and planet. Daily we see the fallout of the mental, physical, and environmental crisis that defines our era, but we know there is another pathway forward.
When we give ourselves the opportunity to reflect and find inspiration in what we’ve experienced on our Trail of Life, we can get intentional about how we spend the rest of our time on this planet in these bodies – integrating the lessons learned into our personal lives and communities.
The results? Empowered individuals taking a stand for the wellbeing of their communities and planet.
