## Resource

With several decades of experience in outdoor education, therapy, teaching, mentoring and rites of passage guiding, Katie Asmus, MA, BMP, LPC, incorporates present-moment awareness, relationship to the natural world, body-mind connection and ceremonial practices to support people in more deeply and compassionately connecting to themselves, others and the earth. She believes strongly in the power of spending time in nature as a way to deeply listen inward, and has a long history of creating, practicing and facilitating personally meaningful, culturally relevant ceremonies and rites of passage. Katie also has had a 30-plus-year career working with therapy and coaching clients and over 20 years teaching wilderness therapy, adventure therapy, ecotherapy and somatic therapy at a graduate level. Currently, Katie directs and facilitates rites of passage trainings and experiences, sees therapy and coaching clients, guest teaches and trains therapists and healers through The Somatic Nature Therapy Institute in Colorado, though she also has online offerings. She is known for saying that “Inner work is world peace work.” https://www.somaticnaturetherapy.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/somatic-nature-therapy-institute https://www.instagram.com/somaticnaturetherapy/ https://www.facebook.com/somaticnaturetherapy https://www.youtube.com/@infosomaticnaturetherapy https://www.tiktok.com/@snti_boulder https://www.pinterest.com/somaticnaturetherapyinstitute/nature-therapy/
