Peter Wohl - Founder and Teacher

While living in Arizona for several years, Peter studied with an Indigenous American teacher. During that process, he had a transformative, nature connected spiritual experience. This inspired him to begin leading ecospiritual trips and immersive experiences when he returned to Maine in 1999. Over the past twenty five years, these have ranged from workshops at conferences and addiction recovery retreats around New England, to multi-day trips to locations like the North Maine Woods and Acadia National Park. He is a Registered Maine

Guide and has spent a large portion of his adult life outdoors.

A Zen Buddhist priest and teacher in the White Plum lineage, Peter is the guiding teacher for the Wild Fox sangha. Today he is engaged in a process of transforming Zen practice to stay highly relevant to the

needs of a world in chaos, where humans are struggling to stay grounded and to chart a path to sustainable survival.

Peter has been in the field of addiction treatment for over twenty-five years. He has a masters degree in Counseling Psychology and is a licensed alcohol and drug

counselor and certified clinical supervisor. Today he still works part time in the addiction treatment field, simultaneously devoting his attention to advancing

ecospirituality and ecospirituality-based addiction recovery, through the Path of the Wild Heart.

He is the author of Wild Mind, Wild Heart: Discover your true self in nature.
