Inner Trailcraft

Inner Trailcraft sits between Field Notes and the deeper work.

Where Field Notes captures moments like blackberries and fog, a horse charging on the trail, six days off and the quiet return. Inner Trailcraft explores the patterns underneath. The survival strategies and signals we learned to ignore. Adaptations that once protected us but now cost too much.

These aren't stories, they're frameworks. Reflections on what it means to live in a body shaped by trauma, chronic illness, and years of pushing through.

This is for anyone who recognizes these patterns but rarely sees them named.

Before There Were Practices

Fieldcraft for a Body with Nowhere Safe to Land: How a kid found nervous system survival tools in the woods. Breath, stillness, and presence under pressure.

Trauma–Illness Connection

Your Body Isn't Broken, It's Adapted: How survival strategies leave marks — physical, emotional, systemic. A framework for seeing what your body has been doing all along.

Signals We Ignore

Discomfort, Pain, and the Body That Learned Survival: The blur between boundary signals and growth signals. Reflections on pushing through, overriding, and learning to listen.

When Practices Change

Adapting Rituals for Real Life: What persists when everything else has to change. Micro-rituals, presence, and what your body asks of you now.
