"The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door. if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If your yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door”
- Clarissa Estes, The Women Who Run With Wolves
Values
AuthenticityWild Wayfarer creates authentic containers and spaces by allowing Nature to be the guide. No sugar coating, no fluffy spirituality, no dogma.
Eco-CentricityWild Wayfarer takes an eco-centric & earth-based perspective in everything that we do. We believe that what we do to our environment, we do to ourselves. Reciprocity is at the core of every program, as is the deep longing to heal Earth and its inhabitants. This means listening, creating, and expressing from a place that is rooted in Nature.
We believe that what the world desperately needs right now is eco-centric imagination & creativity that supports ALL life on earth. Nature MirroringEvery single Wild Wayfarer offering is designed with nature's rhythm as the foundation. Seasonal & lunar cycles sit at the core of our programs.

EmbodimentWe prioritize offerings that go beyond words, books and explanations. We strive to create the containers, intentional spaces, tools, journeys and experiences that facilitate deep, experiential and embodied transformation.
LiberationWild Wayfarer is dedicated to liberating our creative, wild and true self. It is impossible to separate this individual task from the collective urgency to dismantle oppressive institutions in place that discriminate and limit human beings while oppressing and destroying the environment. We believe in environmental intersectionality: the inextricable link between injustices happening to marginalized people and the Earth. By advocating for the environment and wildness, we must also advocate for racial justice, women's rights, queer rights and marginalized communities by challenging the cultural norms and institutions that uphold the patterns of oppression and destruction.

I'm Jacqueline
I am a nature reconnection guide, ritual facilitator, educator, and singer songwriter whose niche is in helping people come into resonance with nature, our relationship with life, and the creative cycle.
The heart of my work through Wild Wayfarer is focused on harmonizing our lives and creative potential with nature's cycles and rhythms. Drawing from my professional history as a wilderness guide, horticultural therapy guide, yoga teacher, songwriter, performer and writer, I have built a vocation that weaves wildness and creative expression into the meaningful experiences that I craft for my community.

Have you ever noticed how a group of people listening to a live music performance can wordlessly attune to each other? How a few days spent in in the wilderness has a harmonizing effect, as your rhythms and nature's entrain with one another? How, when someone sings a lyric that really speaks to your experience, it resonates and hums inside of you, evoking feeling?
This is my path. If you are here, it might be yours too.
I graduated from Northern Arizona University with degrees in Environmental Studies and Outdoor Leadership & Education. I am a certified yoga teacher through the Kula Collective and apprenticed with Darcey Blue of Sacred Wildness and Shamana Flora in shamanic herbalism. I have studied with Kate Joyner of Dancing Serpent Mystery School, and am currently enrolled with the Institute of Authentic Tantra Education. I am a student of the wilderness, herbalism, deep imagination, the dream world, and Soulcraft through the Animas Valley Institute.
I am also a retired wilderness therapy, alpine mountaineering, rock climbing & backpacking guide who now applies my skills to the terrain of the wilderness within—which, in my opinion, is just as thrilling as scaling a cliff face.
I am a professional singer-songwriter and performer through both my solo project, Jacqueline Marie, and my band Sleep Stampede. I am, above all else, a creative woman who simply cannot help but to craft community gatherings, songs, and the occasional knitted beanie.

Creativity and eros are my unique paths to wildness. The process of unlearning the “right” way to sing, write and create is just my mirror to the dire need to unlearn the “right” way to be a human. My personal journey has—and continues to be—one that requires me to shake off the shackles that read “this is how to behave to be loved," stripping off the corset that says “this is how to look to belong,” and ripping the sock out of my mouth that says “this is how to sing.” This personal journey influences what I teach and offer here.
