Natural Self

October 5, 2024 - March 1st, 2025

Natural Self is an experiential group that aims to help young adults connect to themselves, each other, and the natural world. This program is led by psychotherapists Mac Wilson, MA, LPCC and Brian Danziger, MA, LPCC. The six-month group meets outdoors in Boulder, Colorado once a month for four hours per session. It is tailored for young adults ready to embark on a journey of intentional self-realization, and each meeting facilitates a transition toward a more purposeful and harmonious existence.

what to expect

Each monthly meeting will center around either a group-based or individual nature-based experiential activity, followed by a debriefing session. Experiential activities are carefully designed with the intention of fostering introspection, appreciation, or change regarding the roles we choose to embody in our lives. While these gatherings focus on personal growth, it's essential to highlight that they will also incorporate elements of play and enjoyment.
