"Have you ever noticed how a walk in the woods or a day on the trail leaves you feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected? Wild Resilience training is the intentional practice of mindful self-discovery in nature for the purpose of both staying within our window of tolerance and learning to stretch it. It's a concept that arose through a collaboration between adventure athlete Rebecca Rusch and me, merging decades of expertise in outdoor performance and trauma recovery."
"Wild Resilience isn't about conquering mountains for the sake of achievement. It's about using the wild as a real-time laboratory for emotional growth, clarity, and self-trust. Whether you're a seasoned athlete attempting to achieve peak performance or simply curious about stretching your window of tolerance, this approach invites you to access deeper possibility-both in the wild and in your daily life."
Wild Resilience training is the intentional practice of mindful self-discovery in nature designed to keep people within their window of tolerance while teaching them to extend it. Nature restores unmet needs such as safety, joy, awe, and connection that modern routines often deplete. Mindful movement outdoors cultivates embodied resilience, clarity, and self-trust through real-time practice. Cycles of challenge and recovery in the wild foster sustainable growth and protect against burnout. Practical Wild Resilience tools support emotional regulation, expand the window of tolerance, and translate resilience built outdoors into everyday life and peak performance contexts.
