About Sacred Wander
Nature is always trying to speak to us. Giving us signs as to how our life can unfold, trying to nudge us in the right direction. However, often times, we are distracted & get caught up in our day to day lives, drama stories and personal traumas that we fall short in recognizing these subtle signs, losing sight of a direction that is most beneficial & fulfilling to us. The Sacred Wander is an action & movement (like a union & dance) between you and the natural world. It's about listening to your heart, trusting your intuition & surrendering to the ebb & flow of life. To comfortably sit in your truth (natural & knowing), navigating along your authentic desired path with your internal compass at hand... always pointing in the direction towards your goals, dreams, growth & freedom. Here, we offer you the tools, wisdom, inspiration & guidance to help you lead your life with contentment and fulfillment. By helping you to reconnect to nature, you will be able to navigate through life easefully while having richer, deeper experiences and feeling nourished mentally, physically, spiritually & emotionally.

About Janice
"For over two decades, I have studied different types of healing & energetic modalities and practiced various styles of meditation, qigong & yoga. Since 2008, my focus has been learning root & alchemical practices of self awakening from many ancient traditions directly with my teachers Mugen Roshi & Dao Shi of Primordial Alchemist. The Taoist Arts are my focal point for which the foundation of my knowledge & sharing stems from; cultivating & embodying practices of living simply and in deep connection to nature. This includes 14 years of learning the skillful art of tea making called Gongfu Tea (traditionally & alchemically). After spending many years as a Sr. Project Coordinator & Financial Researcher for a multi-million dollar I.T. Company, I left corporate America for good to follow my life purpose and be of more service to others by helping them live a happier, purposeful and more fulfilling life. I opened up a thriving holistic wellness center in Portland, Oregon as well as coordinated & hosted meditation retreats domestically & internationally. Aside from Sacred Wander offerings, I help people bring their dreams into reality as a Business Consultant and inspire others through my photography & writings.
