- Depression, Anxiety and Emotional Well-Being

How Drew works
Mindfulness and meditation
Attention trained before the journey, so the session has something steady to return to when it intensifies.
Clinical and evidence-based
Grounded in licensed clinical practice and the psychotherapy research the trials were built on.
Nature-based practice
The outdoors used deliberately: walking, sitting and integrating in the landscape rather than only indoors.
Trauma
Trauma-informed work, including complex and developmental trauma carried over years.

Drew was incredible. Deeply safe container — Cadillac of experience, so well taken care of.

The safety and depth of the container Drew created allowed for a safe experience I hadn’t seen before. I was able to have a big experience and feel safe and healthy with it. I am forever grateful for the authenticity, talent, and integrity with which he and the team offer this work.

The staff were Sentinels. Protecting our container enabled me to fully trust and surrender to my journey. This week was one of the most powerful experiences of my life. Drew and the rest of the staff created a safe and sacred space to experience a profound journey.

This was easily the most profound experience of my life, and I’ve had some good experiences. Drew and the team did a flawless job building and sustaining the most beautiful container I’ve ever been part of. I’m grateful for every moment. I forged connections that will last a lifetime.
AnonymousPrivate session
Working with Drew as my facilitator was truly life-changing for me. His presence is extraordinary, and the depth with which he held my experience, my pain, my spirit, and my humanity is something I have never before experienced. He is truly gifted at this work and gave me the safety I needed to release the shame I have carried for my entire life up to this point. I feel such gratitude for how he held that space, organized the entire process, and met me at my most vulnerable. Drew is a gift and a highly skilled facilitator; truly a rare soul and healing presence in this world.
