I’m Madelyn Steen and I created softwildjoy as a way to build community around trauma-informed nature-based healing practices. Whether through workshops, events, or retreats, I hope to guide others to find their own softwildjoy in their lives.

Why “softwildjoy”? I aim for life to be a combination of soft ease, a bit of wild spontenaity, and joyful moments. My events are a reflection of this and I hope to see you there!
