You were never meant to be this disconnected.

Not from your body.
Not from the land.
Not from your instincts.

But modern life is loud, bright, fast, and relentless. It pulls us out of rhythm and convinces us that’s normal. Over time, our nervous systems adapt to survive it, but that survival often looks like shutting down, tuning out, or losing trust in what we feel.

Ancient Memory is a slow return.
A reconnection practice rooted in science, sensory presence, and the real world around you.

Created by Laura Joki, Licensed Oregon Outdoor Guide, Certified Wilderness First Responder, and Whole Person Certified Coach, this work blends nervous system support, geological storytelling, and somatic intelligence to help people reawaken their perception and come back into relationship with what is real.

What We’re Doing Here

This is not coaching in the traditional sense. It’s not therapy. It’s not a spiritual bypass or a performance space. It’s a living, body-aware system of support that trusts your own capacity to feel, track, and reclaim yourself through direct contact with nature.

• Geological pattern recognition as a way to understand emotional and systemic patterns
• Polyvagal-aligned pacing that helps regulate instead of overwhelm
• Mythic story structure and environmental metaphor to explore identity and change
• Real outdoor experiences that offer feedback, clarity, and recalibration

We teach through rock, light, sound, weather, and body. Nothing is forced. Nothing is extracted. You decide what stays with you.

What’s Available Now

🌙 The Night Hike: Finding Yourself in the Dark
A guided outdoor experience designed to help you meet darkness with presence instead of fear. This gentle walk is built to support your nervous system, expand your sensory awareness, and invite you to feel differently—not because you’re broken, but because you’ve adapted to survive.

What’s Coming Soon

• Seasonal, multi-day retreats and immersive nature-based experiences
• At-home sensory kits and geology-rooted ritual tools
• Slow-learning digital offerings rooted in body-based science and place
• Collaborative programs with other nature-based practitioners and guides

If you feel a yes—or even a maybe—reach out.

There’s no funnel here, no pressure, no urgency. Just a grounded beginning.
