Lost your place? Find your way.
I’m Dr. Corinna J. Moebius, a wisdom weaver and guide with over 20 years of experience creating transformative, place-related learning journeys. I work with people experiencing solastalgia—despair over unwelcome changes to the environment, including losses of home caused by climate and social events.
My approach blends eco-social awareness and spirituality, holistic mind-body-place methods, critical pedagogy, and the arts. Through a process of learning (and unlearning), I help clients nurture a new sense of self and home, restore community connection, and sustain resilient hope.
Start Your Healing Journey Now
Fires, winds, and waters are racing across our landscapes; social and political shifts are fracturing communities. Where is your place in this world? How do you find your way? Who do you become?
You do not have to take this journey alone.
Find Home Again—Wherever You Are
A holistic mind-body-place approach can help you cope with solastalgia.
I help clients navigate solastalgia—the distress caused when our home environment changes due to climate events, gentrification, political shifts, or other reasons. I’m not a psychologist, social worker, or traditional life coach. Instead, draw on 35 years studying people-place relationships and working with diverse communities facing changes to beloved homes and places.
Here are core elements of my approach:
Weaving Wisdom
As a transdisciplinary thinker, or wisdom weaver, I gather, share and integrate deep knowledge from various sources, including ancestral wisdom, cultural traditions and diverse community perspectives. I also draw on my in-depth knowledge and training in the following subject areas:
- cultural anthropology (people and culture)
- racial geographies and racial ecologies (challenges the naturalness of social divisions and explores non-dominant ways of knowing and relating to the environment)
- eco-spirituality
- permaculture and regenerative economics
- expressive arts and storytelling
This holistic perspective helps me guide you towards “out of the box” insights and meaningful actions, helping you both learn and unlearn.
Eco-Social Self
Traditional coaching is heavily influenced by psychology and an individualistic and Western approach to the self. I help you unlearn thinking about self that divorces us from our relationships with Earth, spirit and community. Cultivating an eco-social self is part of the healing process.
Holistic Mind-Body-Place
Instead of acknowledging just the connection between mind and body, I help dismantle the divide between “nature” and “culture” that led to the mind-body divide in the first place. My work moves you beyond thinking of nature as separate and the environment as passive and waiting. Instead, it helps you re-integrate mind, body and place.
Eco-Spirituality
Eco-spirituality is embedded in indigenous belief systems that honor human relationships with the Living Earth and understand humans as integral to the natural world and not separate from it. I incorporate place rituals in my teaching and healing journeys–rituals that honor spirits of place and land and home. My own worldview is deeply informed by my practice of eco-spirituality my learning from elders in these traditions over a period of forty years.
Creative Expression
Singing, dancing, art-making, storytelling–these are gifts that help us create a space for communion and healing, whether alone or with others.
Critical Pedagogies and Deep Adaptation
As part of a Deep Adaptation movement, I think ecological collapse is now inevitable, but that we can still move together through a process of resilience, relinquishment, restoration and reconciliation.
Workshops
In February 2025, I’m offering a day-long, condensed version of my in-person workshop series, Eco-Spiritual Home: Finding Home Wherever You Are.
The full series will follow in Spring 2025 in beautiful Amherst, Massachusetts.
Courses
I’m launching an online course in 2025. Eco-Spiritual Home: Finding Home Wherever You Are complements my in-person workshop series by the same name, diving deeper into cultivating a sense of home and belonging during change.
Consulting/Coaching
I offer consulting services on place-based programs that uncover silenced histories, heal community divides, and boost local economies.
I also provide coaching and coaching walks for individuals navigating life decisions related to place—helping them find clarity and confidence in uncertain times.
Talks & Walks
Stay tuned for upcoming speaking engagements and walks/ walking tours on topics like solastalgia, home, geomancy, and “altared” landscapes.
I’m also available to speak for cities, organizations, and companies looking to integrate more place-conscious, eco-spiritual, or decolonial perspectives into their work.
I’m Dr. Corinna J. Moebius, an anthropologist-geographer, eco-philosopher, and teacher-coach for individuals and communities facing place loss and place change or solastalgia. I offer strategies grounded in cultural insights, ecological awareness, and spiritual connection to help people reconnect with home and land.
Drawing on decades of consulting, field research, and place-based teaching, II help clients re-ground and move toward a new sense of belonging. Whether through in-person workshops in New England, walks in Little Havana, or online courses, or my work centers on sustaining a deeper sense of home—wherever we find ourselves.
I am also co-author of A History of Little Havana, a people’s history of the storied Miami neighborhood where I lived for 15 years, and just completed a new book on the neighborhood (stay tuned!).
Corinna sees the forest, and each tree at the same time.
Group synthesis activities are very challenging. You need someone who can communicate to the group and to each individual, in multiple modalities.
Corinna has a deep, intuitive sense about different learning styles, interpersonal reactions to group activities, and creating space for individual co-learning and expression. She can communicate complex material in a form that everyone understands: via word, image, sound, motion, and silence.
Corinna is a coach who is deeply insightful, flexible, intuitive, and creative. She brings a bevy of experience across nature, business, academia, culture, arts, and the human spirit to offer a multi-faceted perspective at aligning a client’s goals with their body, mind, and heart.
Dr. Moebius’ research, personal experiences, candor and ease of which she disseminates facts,
policy and opinion makes her the perfect speaker.
She has invigorated me in a profound way!
I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Moebius’s workshop very much. She has inspired me to go back to my community and impact change.
My husband and I have been able to indulge in a great deal of travel and in those travels we’ve met some amazing tour guides. These are people who live and breathe the essence of their cities and neighborhoods. Corinna is such an individual.
Highly, highly recommend her tours!
