Reconnecting To Our Nature

What Reconnecting To Our Nature does

Reconnecting To Our Nature is a privately held, founder-operated nature-based coaching and rites of passage practice established in 2020 and headquartered at 343 West Drake Rd, Suite 200, Fort Collins, Colorado. It serves individuals, couples, families, and groups in Northern Colorado seeking personal growth, grief processing, life transitions, and reconnection to nature through outdoor and ritual-based experiences. The offering portfolio spans one-on-one nature-based coaching, cowry shell divination in the Dagara tradition, mentoring for healers and guides, women's wellness programs (cycle syncing, fitness classes, mother/daughter rites), seasonal day-long immersion programs, multi-day Vision Fast wilderness ceremonies, men's grief ritual weekends, a 12-week community grief program built on Francis Weller's work, self-paced online courses (Life in Grief, Elemental Masculinity, Cycles and Passages of Life), and the "My Life is the Medicine" podcast.

Revenue is generated entirely through service delivery and program tuition. Pricing is unit-based and pay-as-you-go across short coaching sessions ($130-$200), extended and full-day sessions ($300-$650, plus a $120-per-hour divination rate), seasonal day programs ($150 with $40 deposits), women's fitness and movement classes, and online courses priced at $99-$100. A sliding-scale and scholarship policy is in place. Distribution is direct-to-consumer, augmented by a community-led growth model in which small groups (capped at 9-10 participants) drive organic referrals through a documented testimonial base. Marketing relies on the blog, email newsletter, Facebook organic presence, podcast distribution, and aligned referral partnerships with organizations including the School of Lost Borders, Wilderness Guides Council, 8 Shields, Men's Leadership Alliance, Mankind Project, Youth Passageways, and Inner Life Adventures. The two named facilitators are Chuck Hancock (M.Ed., Licensed Professional Counselor, Wilderness First Responder, EMDR-trained, with indigenous ceremony apprenticeships) and Kelly Hancock (NASM-certified Personal Trainer and educator running the women's wellness track); there is no underlying software platform, app, or AI component - the business is human-facilitation intensive by design.

Others

• Mankind Project: International men's-work organization referenced as a referral partner; offers New Warrior Training Adventure and ongoing men's groups that intersect with the company's Men's Grief Ritual Weekend and men's coaching offerings.
• Men's Leadership Alliance: Community connection and referral partner focused on men's leadership and personal development; aligned mission and overlapping audience for men's grief and brotherhood programs.

Broad incumbents

• Open Sky Wilderness Therapy: Licensed wilderness therapy program for adolescents and young adults; shares the nature-as-therapeutic-container thesis but operates as a clinical treatment program rather than a rites-of-passage facilitation practice.
• Outward Bound: Large established wilderness education organization where Chuck Hancock previously worked; offers overlapping outdoor and team-building experiences but at much broader scale and without the ceremonial / therapeutic depth.

Direct peers

• School of Lost Borders: Founded wilderness rites-of-passage organization from which Chuck Hancock trained; offers multi-day Vision Fast and initiation programs in the same lineage as Reconnecting To Our Nature, serving overlapping audiences seeking nature-based ceremonial experiences.
• Youth Passageways: National network supporting youth and young-adult rites of passage; directly comparable for the company's Vision Quest / Rites of Passage offering targeting transitioning adults and young adults.
• Animas Valley Institute: Wilderness-based rites-of-passage and vision quest provider offering guided solo fasts and community container work — directly comparable offerings in nature-based ceremonial coaching.
• 8 Shields: Nature-based mentoring and connection organization with a similar mission and audience; referenced as a community connection for referrals and shared methodology around nature-connection practices.
• Inner Life Adventures: Chuck Hancock's separate LPC therapy practice; operates in an adjacent nature-based coaching space and shares the same founder audience and methodology, serving as both a peer and a referral source.

Emerging players

• Heroic Hearts Project: Connects military veterans with nature-based therapeutic experiences including ayahuasca and vision quests — overlaps with the company's grief/veteran-adjacent work but with a more specialized clinical-population focus.
