Facilitating experiences in which participants are able to deepen, strengthen, and nourish love for one's self, community, and the natural world- this is the vision of Aspen Roots Collective, PLLC.
Aspen Roots Collective is grounded both in the therapeutic world of counseling and holistic health as well as in an adventure and nature loving approach to life. Blending wellness retreats with adventure travel, ARC is a unique addition to both fields. Facilitators are a mix of trained clinicians, experienced outdoor educators, and adventure guides, resulting in retreats that combine the ruggedness of outdoor play with the renewal of slowing, reflecting, and nurturing.
Based in Asheville, North Carolina, retreats and workshops are offered in the mountains of Western North Carolina, as well as locations far and wide: Baja, Mexico; Bariloche, Argentina; Birmingham, Alabama; Elijay, Georgia; Vancouver Island, Brittish Colombia and the list grows….
Aspen Roots serve as an inspiring metaphor for the support, love, and growth that we find when in connection with our community and the natural world. The roots of the aspen tree not only dig into the soil to gather nutrients and provide grounding stability... they also serve as underground branches, reaching out and up to sprout into new trees, growing the grove and uniting acres of trees into one living and breathing organism. We at Aspen Roots Collective, PLLC seek to nurture such connections in the groups that we lead in retreats around the world.
