Welcome - I’m Ryan Joseph, an artist, retreat host, and behavioral therapist who believes in the deep healing power of nature, creativity, and human connection.

Born and raised in Canada, I now divide my time between there and the beauty and magic of Peru. My journey has taken many paths where my difficulties led to profound experiences that deeply transformed my life. Through the wisdom of a Buddhist monk and my time in the Andes and Amazon, I’ve come to understand wellness in a whole new way.

Nature is my wellness. It’s where I remember who I am to the core. And it’s from this space that now inspires me to create my work and guide others.

Art has been my companion through it all — a tool for reflection, healing, and integration. I create nature-inspired pieces that tell stories of resilience, remembrance, and the deep connection between the Earth and our well-being. Through my art, I offer something back to the land and the people who have helped shape me, and I invite others to see nature not just as scenery, but as medicine.

I’m a mental health advocate at heart, passionate about making healing more human, accessible and removing the stigmas associated with it. Hosting retreats in Peru is one of the ways I give back — creating safe, grounded spaces for others to reconnect with themselves, their stories, and the earth to transform their lives in the same way I have.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and learn more about who I am and the work that I do. If something here resonates - whether through my art, the retreats, or the connection with nature, I invite you to reach out, explore and share with others who can also benefit. I am very grateful to share my journey with you and hope you are creating your very own nature narratives!

With love,

Ryan Joseph
