Our Mission

Nature and humanity have been deeply woven together, since before we had a name for either. The great outdoors presents a tranquil mirror, allowing us too see deep into our souls. The Green Spiral offers experiences that enrichen the body and mind for short or long durations. Our mission is to give you the space you need to have a profound connection with your intuition and self.

The Founder

Katie Jones: Self Cultivation Guide & Life Coach

Katie is a renaissance woman. Professionally trained in therapeutic modalities and wilderness outdoor education, she's spent a lot of time holding conversations around the campfire or solo hiking through new places. Her background blends experience as a therapeutic wilderness guide, adventure guide and outdoor education facilitator in both the United States and France. Currently she is an engineer and is always looking for new opportunities to expand her cup and learn something new. Being very inspired by nature, she uses it in her experiences to cultivate self resilience and peace with one's self. As someone who was shaped by nature as a young adult looking for peace within, she now sustains this bond as an adult and teaches others how to do so as well. She humbly offers her wide range of services to those who seek more from life.

What Is The Green Spiral?

Symbolizes a collective journey inward—a path of growth, evolution, and deeper connection with ourselves, communities and the natural world. It’s a call to become more mindful of how we live, interact with nature, and contribute to a healthier planet.
