Following over two decades studying the body in motion, I am returning to my roots, to my embodied connection to the wild. In 2019, I completed the Somatic Ecopsychology and Wilderness Quest Apprentice Program with Amy Beisemeyer, MFT and Dave Talamo, MFT, of TerraSoma Ecopsychology Training Institute. I am a certified Wilderness First Responder through the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), and continue my studies in Earth based practices, holistic coaching, and Hakomi mindfulness-centered somatic therapeutic skills. Now, I dedicate myself to humbly walk beside others on their healing path as they awaken to their interconnectedness with the land, the waters, and all beings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bf3d4610d6f1042ecd25f/1617101395589-FK6TPVD5P243PU0G01SV/Erin-Collage.jpg Home OLD - HELLO & WELCOME I’m Erin, I am a wilderness rites of passage guide, deeply informed by the healing power of nature and the wisdom of the body. Growing up in Virginia, I had the gift of spending time by the Chesapeake Bay, playing in the sand and watching crabs. Among the woods and creeks of the Appalachian Mountains, my Grandmother taught me respect for native plants and elusive wildlife. My time in nature was full of wonder and curiosity, and these moments sank deep into my bones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bf3d4610d6f1042ecd25f/1614610736523-WEVX3YR4DUX9P2HNGSBO/Work-with-me-2.jpg Home OLD - One on One Nature Centered Guiding. Like the cycles of the seasons, our lives continuously move through periods of growth, change, release, death, and rebirth. Engaging with the wisdom and power of the natural world offers a unique opportunity to meet life’s challenges and transitions with nature’s enormous capacity to hold all that is alive within us. Ecotherapy is for you if… You are called to deepen your connection to the natural world and seek how to do so with support. You wish to slow down your inner mind chatter and bring your system into a state of calm. You want to bring your life’s questions and challenges to receive insight and reflection. You wish to mark a significant transition in your life (birth, death, marriage, parenting, coming of age, retiring) in a meaningful way. These unique sessions incorporate Hakomi, mindfulness and movement practices, song, Earth-based ritual, and integrative art practices. I invite you to set up a complementary discovery call below to learn more. Sessions take place in person, on the land, and over video conference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bf3d4610d6f1042ecd25f/1615128838781-ABZN7LPEYQF2DA8FHGQ8/Work-with-me1.jpg Home OLD - Seasonal Nature Day Longs. Nature daylongs are an invitation for you to step away from the hectic rhythms of your life and the chaos of the world to discover the slower, quieter rhythms of the land. Together, we will hike short distances, engage in mindfulness, movement, song, and council sharing practices to connect to ourselves and one another. There will be time for you to wander with intentionality in nature and create your own sacred ritual, known as solo time. Nature daylongs are a wonderful time to honor a transition in your life, to seek insight or support with specific questions or challenges, and to reflect on what gifts you are integrating from the season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bf3d4610d6f1042ecd25f/1614610710497-8QK4MJV6LBUCDD48BS9T/Work-with-me3.jpg Home OLD - Custom Rites of Passage Ceremonies. Are you embarking on a new journey in your life, and are seeking a meaningful way to celebrate a milestone? Are you welcoming a new baby into your life, and wishing for a unique way to recognize this moment? Are you at a turning point, looking for guidance and clarity? Do you feel loss and grief, and long for a container to hold it with you? Marking the major turning points in life, known as a rite of passage, is an ancient and pan-global tradition that brings deeper meaning and insight to these transformative moments. You as an individual, couple, family, or a small group will spend time together and individually in nature, co-creating an experience honoring this important moment in your lives. This custom program is personalized and takes place on the lands of the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. https://www.erincarper.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2025-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bf3d4610d6f1042ecd25f/0be05993-94bb-46de-821a-50fd8da85f76/KarahC.Photo.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bf3d4610d6f1042ecd25f/1616411574171-MCCXO9QTMGDA02UU9KEE/Erin-Margaret-Testimonial.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bf3d4610d6f1042ecd25f/1616411480084-2GV579MFFINP7YSTFIHT/Erin-Testimonial.png Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bf3d4610d6f1042ecd25f/1616411530966-SGXWD91NCCJLEHQ9ICAZ/Erin-Miki-Testimonial.png Testimonials https://www.erincarper.com/home daily 1.0 2025-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bf3d4610d6f1042ecd25f/4f6dd2a5-871c-4c43-b7da-e725af7854d9/erin-carper-eco-somatic-bay-area-7.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bf3d4610d6f1042ecd25f/a1cad814-06f1-4249-a478-fe31205a00e5/erin-carper-eco-somatic-bay-area-8.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bf3d4610d6f1042ecd25f/48ed80f8-402f-4920-9584-182dd960f14b/erin-carper-eco-somatic-bay-area-11.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bf3d4610d6f1042ecd25f/a1c2a2a4-6133-4fde-8b4c-7137a2f85eb1/erin-carper-eco-somatic-bay-area-6.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bf3d4610d6f1042ecd25f/90d19bd5-ce41-4780-bfbc-e4629f48eaec/erin-carper-eco-somatic-bay-area-5.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bf3d4610d6f1042ecd25f/9dd678a0-6c70-4ed1-b2f2-a3c1b30fba6e/erin-carper-eco-somatic-bay-area.jpg https://www.erincarper.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602bf3d4610d6f1042ecd25f/6a5d03c8-4274-4cf8-acd4-326cb5ce2a52/erin-carper-eco-somatic-bay-area-9.jpg
