Transform Your Relationship With Nature
Wecome to the Inner Wilderness Institute
Welcome to the Inner Wilderness Institute, a nature-based counseling institute in the central Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. We’re hoping our program will appeal to your sense of adventure and celebrate the awe and mystery associated with living with and within the natural world.
Please read more about our upcoming workshops in the Harrisonburg and Staunton areas: Working Deeply with Nature to Explore Yourself and also Animals Connecting us to Our Deeper Selves.
Welcome to our Sacred Circle visitors!

We hope all of you who are visiting our blog from the Sacred Circle bookstore on-line community will find our programs relevant to your interests. The Sacred Circle, an independent bookstore located in historic downtown Staunton, offers a diverse selection of books, art, music, and fair-trade gift items representing the world’s great spiritual and cultural traditions.
Their shop has a cozy, intimate feel with the sweet but subtle smell of incense greeting customers as they enter and an eclectic selection of music playing in the background. Children are welcome to use our “kids’ table” and we even have all-natural dog treats for canine friends!
Go visit them if you are visiting the area.
Through their website, at www.MySacredCircle.com, you can be part of their “on-line community” — wherever you call home
