ACCESSIBILITY
Wending Journeys fall into 3 categories:
I - indoor trips
II - camping trips
III - backpacking trips
Indoor trips (I) range from walking about 1-3 miles, often with optional alternatives camping trips (II) average 3-5 miles, and backpacking trips (III) tend to be around 4-10 miles per day.
All our trips include a wilderness first responder with extensive medical safety experience.
PHYSICAL
We intentionally scaffold lessons, use multiple teaching modalities, and anchor content through emotionally evocative storytelling.
Our focus on curriculum design allows for a easeful flow through content and we frequently receive feedback about the cogency of its presentation. Information is often transmitted Socratically so as to better build connections so be ready to get involved!
COGNATIVE
Wending Journeys is not therapy. But it is hosted by therapists and teachers so it often feels like “the best group therapy ever.” We work to intentionally create emotionally rich places to share, reflect, and grow.
We plan in lots of time for participants to process things and also encourage people to discern what they need and act on it. If you should need help, all facilitators are trained in mental health first aid.
