New Free Year-Long Program Swaps New Year's Resolutions for Nature-Based Reconnection

ROXBURY, N.J. - EntSun -- While millions set New Year's resolutions destined to fail by February, ecotherapy innovator Dina Ely offers an alternative: a free, yearlong email series that invites people to slow down and learn from the natural world instead.

The Wild Year delivers twelve months of nature-inspired reflections and embodied practices designed to counter hustle-based wellness. Each monthly email introduces a living companion from the wild, such as a plant, animal, landscape, or natural pattern with simple, grounded practices readers can carry forward at their own pace.

"As I framed 2026 resolutions, I didn't want to talk about becoming better or fixing yourself," said Ely, a Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner and creator of the Whispering Wilds ecotherapy method. "I wanted to encourage well-being that's wildly free of calendars and countdowns and remind readers they're already part of nature, and what that means for their energy, resilience, and sense of belonging."

Unlike traditional wellness programs built around challenges or streaks, The Wild Year operates without deadlines or pressure to keep up. Participants can start anytime and move through the year at their own pace.

Each monthly email includes a short reflection, a micro-practice pairing nature's wisdom with journaling, somatics, creativity, or mindfulness, and more, and one small way to give back to the Earth. Topics explore what nature reveals about rest, timing, protection, connection, and resilience.

The program is designed for nature lovers tired of quick-fix wellness, anyone curious about ecotherapy or rewilding, and people seeking calm and depth without adding another item to their to-do list.

The Wild Year is available as a free email series at https://whisperingwilds.com/the-wild-year . The full collection is also available in a complete PDF ebook, Your Wild Year, on Gumroad for $6.

Ely is available for interviews about reconnecting with nature as an antidote to burnout, why conventional wellness approaches often fail, and how ecotherapy offers practical tools for everyday well-being.
