Healing Journeys Backpacking Expeditions
Healing Journeys is a joint program sponsored by Wetland Environmental Learning Projects Alabama (www.welpalabama.org) and Southern Changeworks (www.southernchangeworks.com). Brandon will be leading combat veterans and/or first responders on a four-day, three-night expedition into the picturesque Sipsey Wilderness of Northwest Alabama. The aim is to mix the serenity of the wilderness with proven and tangible techniques for coping with lingering negative effects of traumatic experiences encountered in the line of duty. The following four tools will be woven throughout the journey:
- The Wilderness itself
- Journaling
- Somatic Tools (eg. tapping techniques, breath-work, etc.)
- Mindfulness and Awareness Exercises
All food and camping equipment will be provided to participants for the duration of the journey.
