Hi, I’m Marisa.


My pursuit to create Grounding Source began while working in wilderness therapy as a senior field instructor in 2016, when I was able to see on a weekly basis that intention and ceremony have lasting change on individuals.

I believe that in connecting with the intimacy provided by the earth and solo wilderness experience, we learn deeper ways to maintain relationships with ourselves and with the ones around us. This interaction allows for a more authentic, non-judgmental view of ourselves.

Throughout my years working in a number of different wilderness environments, I have spent over 15,000 hours facilitating intentional wilderness experiences that have challenged myself and those around me. My mission is to help you witness the power of the wilderness.
