About

Anne Murphy

It was a ceremony with ritual and something in me was ignited.

I later became a Camp Counselor and Wilderness guide, leading adolescents through the wilderness, exploring uneven terrain, unspeakable beauty, unexpected weather, the highs of summiting a mountain and the lows of waking up to a cold rainy day and trying to start a fire. Nature provided a perfect container for us to step out of the ordinary and into a sacred relationship with ourselves and nature.

For me, I am still a wilderness guide. Walking with people during times of unspeakable joys, tragic and unforeseen challenges, known endings and wildly anticipated beginnings.

I bring strength, beauty, and balance to the work that I do so that people can feel completely supported through their experience. The sacred thread pulling me through each day is the belief that when we come to understand what is ‘ours to do’ we claim strand that connects us all to the sacred web of life.

I live close to the riverbanks of the Mississippi in St. Paul, Minnesota, with my dear husband, two teenage children, and our dog Luna. Music, nature and relationships are my allies. I play the guitar and sing every day. I prefer hugs to handshakes. I enjoy a good lake swim. I love laughing until I cry.
