Build communities people want to be part of.
Participation · Belonging · Leadership
Research, program design, and community development for sport, recreation, and community organizations.
Participation is about more than showing up.
Getting people through the door—or onto the trail, bike, field, court, or water, is only the beginning.
People stay when they feel welcomed. When there’s room for different abilities and experiences. When relationships form. When they begin to feel that this is their community, too.
Strong community leadership helps create those conditions.
Participation, belonging, and leadership reinforce one another. Strong communities need all three

Testimonials
"We used all our senses to connect with and appreciate the natural world where our only distractions were the birds and rustling branches.
It was an opportunity to leave all daily distractions behind for a few hours and just concentrate on the natural world and all that it offers us in a healing, comforting way."
Cheryl Hartwick
"This experience gives me the permission to slow down my mind and body which allows me to connect with nature, which creates healing. I love the sense of community that Forest Therapy brings with like minded people when we come together with the talking stick to share our personal experience if we like, with no judgement. Just everyone holding space for one another."
