About the session
About the speaker
Mary Reynolds Thompson, CAPF, CJF, is an award-winning author and international speaker whose work lies at the fertile intersections of language, landscape, and imagination. A certified poetry and journal facilitator, she coined the term “wild language,” —a way of writing and creating co-crafted with the earth. Her work invites people to break free from domestication, reclaim their untamed inner truth, and rediscover the creative force that rises when we let nature speak through us. Drawing on the transformative power of landscape archetypes and nature metaphors, Mary shows how aligning with Earth awakens clarity, courage, and a wilder way of being. She believes that in a time of unraveling and renewal, the planet needs not only our care, but our full aliveness, passion, and imaginative engagement with the more-than-human world.
