​

InHabit is our new offering rooted in Gestalt and a creative, evolutionary, eco-therapeutic and eco-somatic cosmology. Inhabit means ‘to live in or occupy’. Sometimes this refers to a place or habitat. Yet this VERB is also a birthright of body and consciousness. All animals fully inhabit their being in coherence with their environment and all other life forms. We (western culture) humans are the only beings to vacate and mistrust our animal body and our evolutionary wisdom, and often for good reason.  Yet beneath our socializations, traumas, attachment fracturing, emotional wounding, and system contractions, something is waiting for us to remember and return. 

Fritz Perls, one of the originators of Gestalt therapy, commonly said: "Get out of your mind and into your senses!".  As human animals, the inhabitation of our senses and body is an antidote to a racing or frantic mind. We can't just think our way out of invasive thoughts and behaviors; we need to re-inhabit our whole, relational self.

When we engage ourselves or clients in eco-somatics, we not only address the fragmentations, protective strategies, and childhood wounds. We also:

• Activate powers and capacities left dormant in development
• Remember, through embodiment, the intuition and stillness beneath protections
• Inhabit evolutionary, human, and ecological wholeness. Well, at least we begin to.

InHabit Ecotherapy and Eco-somatics are not other techniques like EMDR, DBR, CPT, IFS, etc... They are a worldview; and they are invitations to deeper relationship and to inhabitation. If embodied, it is an expression of our original functioning and nature. It is the ground underneath wholistic therapy. 

The current fields of psychotherapy, somatics, coaching... suffer from eco-amnesia. They rarely if ever acknowledge ecology, biology, evolutionary deep time, eco-ancestors, etc...  These aspects of our being are a foundation for whole system and frequency healing, and I am committed to bringing them into healing spaces.  

InHabit offers a new map... a way of assessing clients energetically and developmentally; a way growing clients diverse capacities while helping them heal from cultural systems that de-generate. This map follows developmental rites of passage, energy centers, primal nervous system layers, and gift and shadow expressions of protective patterns.  This map will also support you in sharpening your instinct, intuition, and out-of-the-box intervention creations.  Time includes lecture, discussion, reflection, embodiment, ritual, and practice.  

This training is home-grown; professional but not clinical; casual but not lazy; deep but not dry; fun but not frivolous. InHabit is a high-quality beginning or continuation of learning and exploring for ecotherapy seekers. It offers practical and unique teachings and experiments for yourself and clients. This workshop can be useful for helpers working in outpatient and traditional therapy settings with individuals or groups in urban, suburban, park, and front-country locations.

The workshop will take place on-line, at our mountain ranch outside of Golden, CO, and at a local natural area close to Denver and foothills.  We will be both indoors and outdoors. 

​The land of our Rewilding Ranch is situated on a mountainside atop Lookout Mountain. Surrounded by a conifer forest, we often attract the locals and bring them into our work. You may see deer, elk, coyotes, raptors, many songbirds and blackbirds, bunnies, squirrels and chipmunks.

"Stepping into the world of ecotherapy with Kimberly was a place of wonder and connection that filled my soul and inspired my mind. Kimberly embodies the methods she teaches; her expressions of presence and groundedness reveal pathways into the raw truth of being. I left the training in greater contact with my intuition, and I am equipped with resources and interventions that support following it, for myself and my work as a clinician". – Holly M., CO therapist

"I looked for this training because I wanted to know on a practical level how to tap into the natural state of my/our beings as we learn to relate to others and the world around us. Now I have an intimate understanding of how to do this with myself and clients. This training was a coming home to my natural, connected self. I learned concrete tools through experiential learning outside, and integrating the learning via writing and processing everything together with Kimberly in a variety of beautiful outdoor and indoor settings. She is a powerful gentle force that has inspired me in so many ways in my work and life. After less than a week I’ve been able to use the eco therapy experiments and concepts in sessions with clients, even over telehealth. It has created a radical shift in the ways that I see things and my work with clients and I highly recommend investing in this training, regardless of your prior experience with the natural world." -Jennifer H., New York therapist

"​Attending Kimberly’s Ecotherapy training was a calling I am so glad I listened to. Immersed in nature and attunement- we learned, unlearned, slowed down, and were invited to remember what we already know. I left with the gift of my senses heightened, instinct in tune, and applications that have already been a hit with my clients." – Sara C., CO therapist

---

"What impacted me most was the emphasis on being, here and now. I learned how to be present in nature, then how to be present with Self in an embodied way. This shift in being is a lesson I will carry with me as I embark on a career as a soulful mental health counselor." -Ann E., CO therapist

I appreciate your advice, presence, and teachings. You helped me go deeper into what resonates for me as well as learn other secrets to being a great therapist." -Merideth G., CO therapist
