Natural from Brazil and with a background in outdoor education, counselling, martial arts, yoga and mindfulness, and studies and experience with many philosophical and spiritual traditions, Nelson Eulalio has dedicated most of his time to the wonders and mysteries of nature and the human psyche. He has worked with adults and children of all ages in school camps ruining centre-based activities (canoeing, rock climbing, high ropes, archery, team initiatives, etc) and as an expedition leader (bushwalking and multiday camping with teenagers). As the founder of Wild & Wise Tribe, his mission is to help adults and children to find a more intimate relationship with nature and facilitate nature-based transformation.

My name is Nelson Eulalio and I was born in Brazil and moved to Australia in 2011. My spiritual journey started very early in life, and by 12 years old I was already reading authors such as F. Nietzsche, C. G. Jung, H. P. Blavatsky, G. I. Gurdjieff, and others. (I was lucky to find all of that and more in my father’s library.) When I was 14 years old, I had my first experience with mother Ayahuasca, which opened my mind to extraordinary reality. (Nelson Eulalio)

From there, I became even more interested in the mysteries of life, human nature, and the spirit. Chasing the realms of archetypes and the soul of things, in my early 20s I eventually started my professional journey in creative and marketing, running a design studio, as a graphic designer and branding specialist, while still chasing the meanings behind the mysteries of life.  (Nelson Eulalio)

My journey into spirituality led me to join and study different schools of mystery (Gnosticism, Sufism, Shintoism, Indigenous metaphysics, etc.) and the Budo (martial arts). A few years ago, after coming back from a sabbatical in India where I did a Yoga Teaching Training, I decided to change my creative profession into formally working with outdoor education and refine it into nature-based therapy. Since then, I have earned a degree in counselling and have also pursued further qualifications/studies in rites of passage, survival skills, indigenous wisdom, regenerative leadership, and youth mentoring.  (Nelson Eulalio)
