Amanda Kenyon

Amanda Kenyon is a nature therapy and meditation guide, woman, voice for the land, belly dancer, accountant, cook, sister, volunteer, builder of stone walls, hiker of high peaks and a humble human learning every day from all the beings of this shared planet Earth. She is a community member amongst the housed and unhoused people living on the unceded homeland of the Elnu Abenaki people, in the place called Wantastegok, “the river where something is lost”, at the confluence of the Wantastekw/West and Kwenitekw/Connecticut Rivers, known as Brattleboro, Vermont. Amanda guides mindfulness and sensory-based nature experiences that promote holistic well-being and strengthen our relationship with nature, ourselves, and other humans. Her forest immersion experiences and nature therapy sessions are rooted in the Japanese tradition of shinrin-yoku–forest bathing, and are powerful tools for finding presence, connection and wellness in one's life. Amanda is certified by The Forest Therapy School and is also Wilderness First Aid trained. Her business is called Landkind Guide in recognition of our kinship with all beings---mankind as well as the more-than-human beings who we share this land with.
