Joy followed a whisper to a magical place in Malibu Canyon. Regardless of what challenges life offered, she found solace amidst the trees. The more she was fully present in nature, the more she felt at home. Through this process, she returned to the wonder of it all and simply being in awe.  She saw the resilience of the natural world and at the same time rediscovered her own innate resilience through harrowing circumstances.  As Joy continued her education, she began to explore and learn unique ways and healing practices that could be integrated in partnership with the wild. These practices have now become the  offerings through Rewild Tribe.
