Finding Solace in the Maryland Forest

Thorpewood is a nature-based mental health and socio-emotional learning center. They have programs ranging from wellbeing for unhoused teens to grief retreats. The natural environment and animal-based therapeutic practices show the importance of human connection to nature.

A Peaceful Place

Nestled in the forests of the Catoctin Mountains, the natural beauty surrounding Thorpewood is a great place for self reflection and healing.

Critters of All Shapes and Sizes

The gentle buzz of pollinators flying, the cool breeze on a hot summer day, the vibrant colors of flowers. These, among other sensations, put the mind at ease and remind us of an inner peace that is possible.
