-
Do you want to be more playful, expressive, and sensual, but find yourself taking life too seriously and feeling guarded and closed-down?
-
Do you desire to live a sober, connected life, but find yourself self-medicating and numbing?
-
Do you want a deeper connection with your intuition, but find yourself caught up in making logical decisions?
-
Do you long for more passion and fulfillment in your work, but feel you’ve hit a plateau of surface-level success or are in need of a career transition?

Do you desire to live a life full of adventure in nature, but find yourself looking for a guide to show you the way?

Hi, I'm Cristina Schooler
I created Gaia’s Compass to recreate the neighborhood campfire transformation some of us experienced as children.
After climbing the corporate ladder and numbing with alcohol at night, I found myself desperately longing to return to a much simpler and nature-based way of living.
I took off on a back-country trip to Alaska by myself, and my mission found me while I was there. Gaia’s Compass and my entire company, The Rooted Method, was born from that one trip.

With a combination of authentic relating, somatic experiencing, and teaching,
Gaia’s Compass reconnects you with female companionship

She shares her own journeys that I could connect to, and if you EVER need an ACTUAL JUDGMENT FREE space, Gaia’s compass is THE PLACE"

in Past Rounds of Gaia’s Compass
Kelsey Wick
Middle School Teacher
“Being in this group a second time provided space for me to continue to practice the tools that are important to me: language, breathwork for regulation, and boundaries. Gathering in this way, with guides and peers, has changed my view of the world. I am grateful to access friendship, laughter, trust and inner safety with greater ease than ever before.”
Kayla Shearheart
Executive Assistant
“Gaia's Compass was like a journey back home to myself. It helped me unravel the stories I was telling myself unconsciously, and allowed me to reclaim them in a conscious way.
At the end of the 3 months, I felt like I was finally able to find complete joy in the present, and really connect with myself and other women, while also feeling the endless possibilities for the future.”
Amanda Ortiz
Software Engineer
“At the beginning of Gaia’s Compass I was feeling lost and overly logical in my life , and constantly feeling like I was always looking through a window at my goals and dreams. Before, I was very logical about decisions, and now I am more intuitive, and connected with myself. I am doing more things for me and what feels right for me”
Ellie Skotchdopole
Creative Entrepreneur
“By the end, I had reconnected with my intuition that has helped me plant HUGE SEEDS in my life – ones that are still unfolding today. It is hard to describe the magic that happens inside this group experience. I felt empowered and confident to dream bigger and begin work towards those dreams.”
Vickie Valdez
Graphic Designer
“I consider myself an intuitive person and have been making decisions by my internal compass, but generally speaking my inclination is to intellectualize most things. Thus I was my own worst critic. When I started to turn down the volume in my head and listen to the messages in my body, a whole new dialogue emerged. Trust lives on a body level, and I trust myself and my path when I access it.”
Jodi Meisenheimer
“The experience of Gaia's Compass opened my heart and mind to the possibility of personal growth and community-centered living that I had almost given up on. The group experience allowed a a truly safe space for me to be witnessed and, in turn, cultivate a love of witnessing and encouraging other women.”
M O R E A B O U T C R I S T I N A
Hi, again. I’m Cristina. I told you a bit about my journey a few minutes ago. I wonder if you could relate to any part of it?
Well, since that one trip to Alaska, my life has never been the same. Once you get the call to the wild, you typically never return to conventional society the way you experienced it before. Maybe you’re feeling that call now?
What really excites me is guiding groups of diverse women. When I was in Alaska by myself, I had the thought, “I wonder what this would be like with a group?”
Shortly after that, I held my first group retreat in Big Bend. The goal was to get people back to natural systems, confidence and campfire conversations.
“Get people into nature and the community, and the healing will happen itself,” I thought to myself. And guess what? It worked.
I’ve done my best to duplicate that feeling inside all of my online and in-person offerings. Even my online programs have tons of resources and guidance to get you back out into the wild.
So whether you found yourself here because you’re sober-curious, because you’re looking for a group of like-minded women who want the same things, because you want to remember how to dance and to play again, or any other reason you could possibly have landed on this page…
I just want to say…
I’m deeply honored to tune into the opportunity of being your guide inside my next round of Gaia’s Compass.
Cristina Schooler is the founder of the Rewild Festival. She has trained in group leadership at the National Outdoor Leadership School. She is grounded with over 100 hours of practical nature therapy guiding with individuals and groups in outdoor settings. She is a certified Master trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, certified behavior coach and trained in Hypnosis and Timeline Therapy. She is trained in the Wim Hof Fundamentals of breathing and circular breathing and is a certified personal trainer with an emphasis on body mechanics. Cristina has been leading group environments since she graduated college in 2013.
She thinks life becomes more energized as we truly show up for ourselves and aren’t afraid to be our fullest expressions in group environments.
And so her purpose is to help women tune into their inner worlds and the laws of nature to reshape their outer lives, and to embrace who they are in all different moments around all different types of people with an ethos of wildness that is in all of us. That’s how we create prosperity and abundance for ourselves. Because when we step into more of who we really are, we see that life flows through us, instead of feeling batted around by rough seas.
ABOUT GAIA's COMPASS GUARDIAN, ALICIA (ao.dailyritual)
Alicia has participated in 3 rounds of Gaia’s Compass and has been our program Guardian for 2 years now.
Her biggest takeaway from the program was the profound ripple effect that brave containers of women have on our lives.
She is incredibly excited about the magic and transformation that’s available for us through conscious connection and the coregulation of our nervous systems.
Alicia is a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Coach trained in Eriksonian Hypnosis, Timeline Therapy, and transformational grammar. With yoga & permaculture ethics in mind, she is armed with over 400 hours of certified study in yoga, meditation, trauma, and racial consciousness. With a professional background in sales & marketing, she is aligned with her highest purpose while supporting the rise of our collective consciousness.
Will you join us inside the next round of
Gaia's Compass, Wild Woman?
Will you come together with a group of like-minded women who want the same things instead of feeling separate, alone, or isolated?
Will you slow down, take a break from the screens, and exit the hustle-and-grind reality?
Will you remember how to dance, laugh, and play again and stop taking life so seriously?
Will you remember just how good it really feels to be inside this animal body, and stop numbing yourself from your experience?
Will you sink into the intuition that lives deep within your belly and third-eye, and let go of that overly-heady way of being?
Will you access your deepest passion and receive your greatest fulfillment in your work, and stop chasing shallow, surface-level success or opportunities that aren’t a full fuck yes?
Will you let Cristina and Alicia be your guides back to a more natural, and simple way of life?
Because there’s a point in all of our lives where the old ways stop working.
Maybe you find yourself at that point right now. Most of the women inside of Gaia’s Compass come from that place.
And the journey back to your True North starts with one call.

Graphic Designer
“Cristina's guidance is gentle and encouraging, which is exactly what I needed at this point in my life right now. She is receptive, conscientious, and can weave through the flow of the group to lead, receive, or pivot as needed. She is a masterful facilitator and I always appreciate her instruction and insights.”
Rachel Wright
“[Gaia’s Compass] helped me tap into and nurture my inner self in ways I didn't know were possible. Cristina is a powerful presence with the beautiful ability to create and hold space for transformative breathwork and visualization journeys.
Because of [Gaia’s Compass], I am in tune with my physical and emotional bodies in a vastly deeper capacity than before, which has opened so many doors for me, both tangible and energetically. Her confidence, knowledge, power, and true communal nature created shifts for me that have profoundly changed my life, opened me up from a space of self guarded-ness to the power of community, and, the cherry on top, allowed me to tap into the joy of dancing again.
I am so grateful for Cristina and [Gaia’s Compass].”
