"Trailheads To Healing" examines the root causes of injustices in our communities, challenges you to be present with your full story to heal yourself and others, and readies you to contribute to a more just future balanced with nature.
The current challenges of our times are causing us to reevaluate our place and purpose in life. As industries and infrastructures of hierarchy actively crumble, we’re left with stepping back and really grasping what our future will be like. As social change professionals we’re relieved that the time has come to address injustices at their core. As socially conscious nature-lovers we know the challenges mean forging a path to do the work in ways that will bring us back into balance with nature. Amidst this prime time of social change, the journey of deep and complex healing can feel arduous and consuming.
Where do I start? How can I, as one individual, affect change when what I’m up against feels enormous? How do I balance the unraveling that’s happening in the world around me with the demands of my work as a leader?
Sometimes we need to start with simple and intentional awareness.
Awareness of what’s present and exactly what needs healing in order to
continue on as a change agent.
Trailheads To Healing is a 4-month program designed for professionals dedicated to social change seeking a deeper awareness of their identities as they move around a world in the midst of social, racial, and environmental transformation. This space is designed to find exactly “what” needs healing as a trailhead to a more intentional journey towards your true purpose.
In an intimate community of socially conscious nature lovers, we’ll cultivate more of your capacity as a leader in personal growth topics like
- developing a more empowered identity
- relating to the land; colonization and mental wellness
- practicing self love and compassion
- moving from scarcity to abundance
- designing sustainable liberatory practices
Trailheads to Healing will challenge you to look at your own landscape of mental and physical awareness to connect you to your true purpose & passion for social justice. The exploration through your life’s peaks and valleys and the stories deeply embedded in your DNA and family history are all pieces of the puzzle that can amplify your leadership identity. Intentional design empowers the individual to affect change in whole communities.

As a Fierce Leader Dedicated to Social Justice...

During the 4 months of us building and growing together, you may discover new things about who you are. Perhaps things you never thought were possible.

"Raynelle's approach is unique and powerful, because of the way she grounds her approach in the sacred wisdom of the Earth. I have gone very deep in my work with her, both personally and professionally, because of the way she creates a safe, brave and creative space. I highly recommend her healing hikes, workshops and coaching for individuals and groups who are looking for deep connections with nature, themselves and each other. It's profound what opens up, gets called in and released as a result of working with Raynelle!"

"From individualized attention to navigating tensions of group dynamics, she makes everyone feel seen and heard. She takes her time to meet people where they are at, and walks along side them to uncover their own powers within themselves. In my own personal journey to healing, she has connected me back to myself, rerooted me in the earth, and reminded me of my ancestors. She will move you too, if you are intentional with what you're seeking."
-Kayla Tolentino, Philanthropy Professional
“Those who choose to walk on love’s path are well served if they have a guide. That guide can enable us to overcome fear if we trust that they will not lead us astray or abandon us along the way”
