My guest Rachel Duthler, a wilderness therapy and play expert, has learned to embrace the adventure beautifully. Through her transformative journey from the Midwest to the West Coast, she discovered the profound healing power of nature and incorporated it into her therapy practices. Rachel enthusiastically opens up about her exciting wilderness adventures, and how these experiences have been a significant part of her and many others' healing process.
Ever wondered how spiritual and social justice circles intersect? Or perhaps you've questioned how spiritual bypassing impacts our communities? Rachel takes us on a deep dive into these complex issues, challenging us to think about our understanding of masculinity, femininity, and personality traits. Our conversation gets even more intriguing as we explore Jungian archetypes, social programming, and the critical role they play in shaping our behavior.
