About Wanderhome
We wander outward to
return home to ourselves.
Wanderhome is a continuing education and retreat space for therapists and healers who want their learning to feel alive again. We offer experiential trainings, retreats, and community spaces that blend science and soul.
Where research meets ritual
Traditional continuing education often asks therapists to sit still, consume information, and return to practice unchanged. But healing, and good clinical work, is layered. It moves through body, breath, mind, intuition, and environment. It requires integration, not just insight.
Wanderhome was created for clinicians who are tired of disembodied CE. For those who know awareness is powerful, but embodiment changes the work.
Trauma-informed and culturally aware
Grounded in evidence, honoring lineage
Paced for a range of nervous systems
Deeply relational and community-centered
How Wanderhome Came to Be
After years of leading The Body Compassion Project retreat and training clinicians in somatic, ancestral, and spiritual integration, it became clear there was a deeper hunger in our field: for learning that honors the nervous system, for community that feels like belonging, for professional spaces where you can be brilliant and human, and for growth that includes laughter, creativity, and lived experience.
Wanderhome was born as an answer to that hunger.
The name reflects the heart of the work: we wander outward, to retreat, to explore, to experiment, in order to return home to ourselves.

Each offering is built around three core pillars:
Meet the Founder
Kanjana Hartshorne
LCSW, C-IAYT, CCFP, Reiki Master
Kanjana takes therapy beyond the couch and into the world through nature, movement, art, ritual, and energy work. As a licensed psychotherapist with an MSW from the University of Pennsylvania, IAYT certified yoga therapist, and Reiki Master, she brings over 16 years of experience as a clinical social worker to everything she creates.
She helps clients and clinicians alike recognize that while insight and the therapeutic relationship can be deeply healing, many people also find transformation through the body, breath, and creative or spiritual practices that align with their beliefs and values.
Her path has been anything but conventional. She studied Reiki and meditation at a Rinzai Zen temple in Japan and has studied yoga for decades, weaving contemplative traditions into her clinical work with a deep respect for lineage and cultural context. Her specialties include medical trauma, chronic illness, body shame, attachment wounds, and the intersection of nervous system science and identity.

Known for her quirky, experiential teaching style, Kanjana invites participants to show up exactly as they are and explore healing as both a science and an art: evidence-based, embodied, and even a little bit magical.
She is known for creating spaces that are:
Because good clinical work doesn't come from perfection. It comes from integration.
The Event
Why The Somatic Sampler?
The Somatic Sampler grew out of a conversation Kanjana kept having with therapists: "I want to get trained in something somatic, but I don't know which modality is right for me." The training landscape is overwhelming. There are dozens of certifications, each requiring significant time and financial investment, and most therapists have no way to experience them before committing.
The Somatic Sampler is the answer. A two-part event that lets therapists explore multiple somatic and holistic modalities in their own body before choosing where to invest. The virtual CE panel brings expert clinicians together to discuss their approaches side by side. The in-person summit in the Poconos takes it further with experiential workshops where you practice, not just listen.
This is the event Kanjana wished someone had built years ago. So she's building it through Wanderhome, with the same values that guide everything she creates: accessibility, embodiment, community, and a deep belief that therapists deserve continuing education that honors their full humanity.
