One Wild Heart Guides: Our  Wild Heart Revival facilitators have more than 30 combined years of  experience in wilderness guiding and collectively embody a diverse array  of wisdom and skills in nature-based therapies; spiritual mentoring;  ecology and applied conservation work; wilderness survival; yoga and  meditation; subtle body dynamics; wildlife tracking; and deep listening.

Melissa Reed-Eckert is founder of Wild Heart Revival and the visionary for both One Wild Heart and Women Rising Wild transformational retreats with wolves. She is a fourth generation healer  and wilderness guide. She has lived closely with wild canids since  childhood and has over 20 years experience as a wildlife biologist  specializing in studies of rare and endangered mammals. Melissa  is a seasoned tracker, medicine weaver, ritualist, and mystic with deep  and intimate ties to nature. Melissa is our fire tender and wild nature  spirit guide at One Wild Heart.

In 2019, Melissa will be joined by Ilyas El-Amin,  a spiritualist who expresses himself as an Islamic Mystic. He is a  father, husband, spiritual mentor, veteran, and social worker who has  dedicated his life to studying and embodying the teachings of ascended  masters. Through these studies he has learned to connect to the divine  nature existing within all of creation and to live in faith in humanity.  Ilyas’s mission as a bearer of light is to help others develop  awareness of their own divine nature or God Consciousness within. As a  social worker, Ilyas is helping underserved and marginalized individuals  and families experiencing homelessness to establish stability, support  and self-sufficiency in their lives. At One Wild Heart Ilyas will  support our conscious remembering and reconnection to the One Wild Heart  residing within All.
