Elliott’s Transformation: A Holistic Approach to Leadership and Well-being

“Matthew Kessi has developed a nature-forward coaching practice aimed at helping professionals maintain a centered and grounding leadership mindset. I recently participated in his 3-day Nature Retreat on the Olympic Peninsula, and the experience was truly profound. Matthew skillfully curated a curriculum that allowed me to embrace the beauty of nature while also guiding me to slow down and establish a deeper awareness of my surroundings.

His approach prioritizes the act of noticing the world around you, actively listening, and engaging in reflective practices, which facilitates the integration of numerous learnings. What surprised me the most was how seamlessly Matthew’s concepts became a part of my daily routines and management style. His advice and recommended habits enabled me to cultivate stronger connections with colleagues in the office and lead with a newfound sense of purpose and mindfulness, something I desperately needed after a particularly intense year at work.

If you find yourself struggling to balance the demands of modern life – whether in your work, personal life, or community involvement – I wholeheartedly recommend trying Matthew’s guided experience. It’s a holistic approach that encourages you to embrace nature, slow down, rediscover your inner self, and uncover the answers you seek. The insights that emerge through reflection in the natural world are not only empowering but incredibly tangible.

I am genuinely grateful for Matthew’s guidance and its impact on my life. He has contributed to numerous positive outcomes and significantly increased my capacity to handle change and manage stress. His guidance has the power to awaken your intuition, unlock your potential, and renew your sense of purpose.”

Catherines’s Calm: Learning how to let go and breathe

As I started my nature-forward immersion, I carried the obligations of my work and the responsibilities of being a mother, wife, and daughter; they were heavy. There was skepticism; how would I be able to let it all go and connect with nature? There was a shedding with every step, and soon I understood what Matthew meant by “talking to trees.” I am now practicing how to ground myself using nature when feeling overwhelmed. The reconnection between my soul and the Natural World strengthens, allowing me to breathe.

Brian’s Experience: A Transformative Journey Through Nature

“This past June, my partner and I joined Matthew in the coastal forests for the Kessi World – Olympic Peninsula 3-Day Nature Immersion retreat. The experience was unexpectedly powerful, nurturing introspection to address our distinct needs. While my partner focused on career challenges, I worked through residual grief after losing my mother. Despite similar exercises, Matthew’s innate ability as a spiritual guide led us to distinct and beneficial outcomes. This immersion retreat and the rejuvenating power of the natural world can benefit anyone at any life stage. Whether confronting career dilemmas or personal struggles, it provides a space for reflection and gratitude. Even those in a positive place can find solace and connection with our abundant planet.”

Scott’s healing: Feeling into the body

The experience Matthew created on our walk was extraordinary. Matthew helped deepen my level of presence and attunement to nature. He didn’t know it then, but his guidance helped me gain insights about some challenges in life. Toward the end of the walk, I noticed I was moving more freely in my body. I highly recommend a nature immersion experience with Matthew.
