Who we are
Liz
Liz has spent more than two decades co-guiding with her husband Carlos in a wilderness setting. On this journey together, she studied ancient healing and protective arts for almost twenty years at Riverview Martial Arts School. There she became part of the RMA teaching and wilderness staff in 2007. The team worked with school districts throughout the Midcoast region of Maine. Liz also helped co-found the first Wellness Center at Bomb Diggity Arts in Portland, ME, making it one of the first Wellness Center's for adults with developmental disabilities in New England. There she implemented leadership programs, Taiji/Qigong classes, Nature Connection and Forest Therapy for adults of all abilities. In 2019, she and her husband co-founded Mountain Pass Wellness LLC. She is a certified teacher of authentic Taiji Qigong Shibashi, Tai Chi, Forest Therapy Guide, an Artist and a lifelong student of Nature.
Carlos
He was born in Puerto Rico and moved to the states when he was 10 years old. Served in the Marine Corps and he is privileged to have spent the last 30 years leading, teaching and mentoring youths and adults in nature education, martial arts, and forest therapy programs on the lands, mountains and waterways of Maine. He is a founding member of Mountain Pass Wellness LLC in Brunswick, Maine; certified to teach authentic Taiji Qigong Shibashi, Tai Chi, Forest Bathing and Nature Connection.
He has long felt and benefitted from the effective healing and supportive energy that Nature and Qigong offer. This relationship has helped to shape his vision and fuels his passion to create and hold a sacred space where people can learn to connect to the land, themselves, and each other.
He feels that there is no better way or place to feel at peace and connect with our ecological self. No better way to repair relationships with others, time, and the more than human world. And no better way to recharge and boost our bodies operating systems and improve your quality of life.
His love of nature and Qigong and all they to offer is matched and fueled by both his wife and partner, Elizabeth and his son Marcus.
