SoulLight Ecotherapy

Get out of your head and into the trees.

SoulLight offers opportunities to slow down and connect with community and nature.

With nature-based offerings for all ages, SoulLight’s purpose is to gather people in community to revel in the magic of the trees, while building resilience for our times. By giving ourselves permission to slow down and listen, we make way for wisdom to spring forth— generating new potential for renewal, harmony, and connectedness in our lives and communities.

Outdoor Mentorship for Kids & Teens

SoulLight’s flagship outdoor mentorship program gathers kids and teens in supportive, small-group circles to connect with self, nature, and community. Sign up for a year of friendship and belonging in a close-knit group of mentors and peers who celebrate and love you for exactly who you are!

“I can’t begin to express how happy I am that my daughter was a part of this program! I was so touched I was brought to tears multiple times hearing her share about her experience. I see her light shining in a way I haven’t seen for a long time. She said things like, ‘I look forward to my days!’ and ‘I’m so happy!’ What a gift you and this group have given her… I am certain this experience has planted a seed for her that will continue to grow!”
