Meet Your Guide
Hello, I'm Joni Wood-Martin, a seventh-generation Texan with deep roots in both the land and the transformative journey of human experience. For over 25 years, I've guided individuals and organizations through processes of discovery, story-stitching, meaningful connection, leadership, authentic purpose, and healing. My approach blends ancestral wisdom traditions with modern understanding, drawing from my own journey of personal reinvention, grief, and spiritual awakening.
My professional background spans human services, nonprofit leadership, community building, and facilitating transformation in individuals, communities, and organizations. However, what truly qualifies me to guide these retreats is having walked these paths myself—navigating life transitions, honoring losses, and learning to trust my own inner wisdom when external voices grew too loud.
I offer workshops and retreats to Individuals and Organizations - feel free to reach out with any questions you may have! Email me!
Cultural Alchemy & Rewild Retreats Overview
Overview
We offer transformative experiences through two distinct but complementary programs: Cultural Alchemy for organizations and Rewild Retreats for individuals. Both are designed to reconnect participants with their authentic wild nature, transform narratives, and ignite passion.
Our Vision
Our vision is to facilitate authentic, transformative experiences for both organizations and individuals. Through the joyful rediscovery of our untamed essence, we move from passively participating in the story of our lives and work to becoming intentional storytellers by reexamining, reframing, and reclaiming our narratives. This allows us to cultivate resilience, wholeness, and deeper connection to ourselves, our communities, and our world.
Our Approach
What is the song of your soul? What's your passion? We are not always aware or conscious of the stories we believe—about ourselves, our work, our organizations—but they shape the reality we live in. One of the most tragic things in life is to never claim the narrative of our story, instead relegating ourselves to the story someone else wrote.
Perhaps we are told the story that who we are is not good enough. Or that if we were only different/better/smarter, we would have love/acceptance/belonging. But what if we told a different story? What if we allowed ourselves to dream together and to believe for a moment that we are here for a reason, that we have a unique and meaningful contribution for the world?
Cultural Alchemy
