Part of the Outfitting the PA Wilds series
The Pennsylvania Wilds is vast and beautiful, and it invites us into that space to explore and to become our most authentic selves. Deep Green Journey, a specialized field guide based in Williamsport along the I-80 Frontier landscape of the PA Wilds, offers to “create space in the Wild to find healing, wholeness and delight.”
Guide Beth Jones is trained as a Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and has been leading backpack trips for over 20 years in the mountains of Central PA.
Deep Green Journey exists to create space in the natural world for people to discover sacred healing, connection, and creativity within themselves, their community and their understanding of what Beth refers to as a “Divine Presence.” Deep Green Journey offers forest therapy walks, backpacking trips and retreat opportunities to individuals and groups, always drawing upon nature’s wisdom as a conduit for learning.
Beth says an important part of her work is to connect with individuals who are limited in their ability to access the natural world, for any reason, so that all may discover the gift of space and time in the wild. Perfect for those just beginning to explore the natural world, she can accommodate any skill level. All food and equipment is also provided, making it as simple as possible to enjoy nature and reconnect.
Beth guides participants to slow down and experience the forest by slowing down and noticing the deep beauty found with every step, every breath.
Deep Green Journey is a Field Guide member in the Experience Makers category of the Wilds Cooperative of Pennsylvania. Learn more about Deep Green Journey and leave them a review or recommendation on their WCO profile.
