"Erin's Rites of Passage Dayquest is a wonderful opportunity to connect with one's self and nature in ways subtle, deep, and sublime. She creates a space and framework where awareness and inquiry can take place.
The experience was enlightening and informative, and afforded me an opportunity to interact with nature in ways I had not previously considered or experienced.
Erin is playful and compassionate, caring and curious. These aspects of her come through and combine with her training, affording her the skill to hold space in a comfortable and confident way.
Her ability to deeply listen and quickly reflect my experience back to me at the end of the journey illuminated and highlighted my solo time out in nature, magnified and amplified what happened in a manner that was revelatory and affirming, making me feel seen and valued."

"Erin created a personalized day-quest for me in the weeks before I left the Bay Area, where I'd lived for 11 years, to move back to my hometown in Ohio. I wanted to intentionally connect with the land in Pacifica, where I was living, to say thank you for the time I had spent there and everything the place meant to me (it was where my husband and I had our first child, for one thing).
After a call where we discussed locations and explored my goals and intentions for the day-quest, Erin scouted a location for us to meet and gave me clear instructions for how to arrive and what to bring and expect. I loved how playful and co-creative our time together was (before and after my alone time on the land), getting to know the land, creating an altar, and exploring movement.
The time alone on the land was beautiful, restorative, and contemplative, and the return time with Erin helped me draw special insights and meaning from what I'd experienced.
Erin brings a sweet, loving, yet clear and strong energy to this work and I felt safe and cared for through every part of the experience."

“I recently participated in a Summer Solstice Dayquest, and my time under Erin’s guidance was spiritually rejuvenating. It was also a stunning reminder of how important it is to balance the demands of daily life with opportunities to take time out to focus solely on yourself without distractions in nature.
Erin created a safe environment in which I was able to address ingrained emotional and mental patterns in myself and press reset. She incorporated movement investigations that grounded me and allowed me the space to be alone with my thoughts.
The flow of the day included journaling, walking alone on the land, and sharing about our experiences with Erin and the other participants.
Walking alone on the land was an exercise in embracing skilled solitude, which helped me to access the clarity I was seeking. I look forward to many more opportunities to be in nature with Erin in the future.”
