dc.description.abstract | I examine the role of facilitated wilderness experiences in shaping my understanding of self in relation to people and the other-than-human world through a critical qualitative approach using auto-ethnography to engage reflexively with my own experiences and to draw out the importance of those experiences in shaping my self-story and way of being. This thesis weaves a critical analysis of the literature with three narratives of my experiences with facilitated wilderness programs, including a vision quest coordinated by Animas Valley Institute. A unifying theme
that emerged through the research is my ongoing quest for self-knowledge and the means of finding a more authentic way of being in the world. The thesis concludes with a look at the key
elements of transformative facilitated wilderness experiences. | en_US |
