For over 23 years, Greg Wieting has helped leaders, changemakers, and visionaries heal developmental and complex trauma, PTSD, and the chronic illness and mental health challenges that emerge from them.
He practices The BodyTalk System, a comprehensive healthcare system, unique in its ability to restore coherence across body, mind, and spirit.
His work integrates advanced studies in trauma, PTSD, and neuroscience with somatic and mindfulness-based practices. It also includes training in systems theory, complex adaptive systems, epigenetics, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, and contemplative traditions.
Grounded in Advaita Vedanta and nondual inquiry, his approach addresses not only the resolution of physiological and psychological stress, but the deeper deconditioning of identity structures that organize perception, behavior, and power.
Shaped by indigenous healing traditions, consciousness studies, and liberation-focused facilitation, Wieting brings a precise understanding of how socialized trauma and systemic pressures shape physical, mental, and emotional health, leadership, and the capacity to act with clarity, courage, and consequence.
A self-taught visual artist, Wieting has been cultivating his painting practice in his San Francisco studio since the spring of 2024, elevating his work with the same rigor and insight he brings to his healing practice. His painting practice is another way of tracking rupture, reckoning, repair, and reclamation. His first exhibition was at The Clorox Building in Oakland, October 7, 2025 through January 7, 2026, curated by SLATE Contemporary.
Wieting is a faculty member with The Shift Network and has shared this work with institutions and communities he deeply respects, including The Institute of Noetic Sciences, The California Institute of Integral Studies, California Academy of Sciences, Hive Global Leaders, and The Breathe Network.
Wieting's work is inseparable from his commitment to liberation. He stands in solidarity with BIPOC, AAPI, Latinx, LGBTQIA+ communities, immigrants, refugees, and survivors of sexual assault and abuse.
I know what it's like to be trapped in your own body. Chronic pain, anxiety, depression, digestive dysfunction, frequent illness. They're not just physical. They're the imprint of trauma, unresolved grief, and patterns that limit human potential.
I've lived it.
I grew up with debilitating migraines, chronic pain, scoliosis, kyphosis, ear infections, and strep. Anxiety and depression followed, alongside digestive challenges. Life often felt like my body and mind were tied in knots, leaving me trapped in agony and despair.
Today, I stand nearly three inches taller, fully upright in my life. Chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and headaches are things of the past.
Healing complex and developmental trauma lets us stand in truth, power, freedom, and aliveness, becoming a generative force in the world. For over 20 years, I've helped thousands of clients do the same. Through that work, I came to understand that what makes healing complete is when we commit our own transformation to healing the conditions that contributed to our pain and the pain of others.
In this way, our own healing can shape consequence, meaning, and purpose, forging a legacy of coherence, clarity, and courage.
My career began with the Washington Wilderness Coalition in Seattle, first as a canvass director, then as a grassroots organizer, training and leading teams in high-stakes campaigns. I raised funds, mobilized communities, forged political alliances, built statewide volunteer networks, and created coalitions with national organizations such as the Sierra Club, The Nature Conservancy, and the Audubon Society.
This work culminated in the 2001 Roadless Rule, protecting nearly 60 million acres of public land, and in establishing the Wild Sky Wilderness, securing 2.6 million acres across the Cascade Range.
Those years taught me what leadership looks like under gravity: holding responsibility for something larger than oneself, acting in alignment with purpose, and navigating complexity with courage and clarity. We were protecting life, memory, and the sacred bond between people and the living world, a reckoning that still lives in me.
The lessons of that work continue to shape how I approach transformation today: leadership is inseparable from responsibility, vision, and integrity. The ability to act decisively in service of what truly matters is the foundation of any meaningful impact, whether in protecting wilderness, cultivating human potential, or guiding systems toward coherence.
Artist Statement
Wieting's paintings begin in breakage. Surface worked until it fractures, layered until what lies beneath insists on showing itself. What accumulates and what is taken away both leave a record, legible to the body before the mind arrives to name it.
How color holds or refuses. How what was covered becomes, through pressure, through time, the thing most present. What the surface does, the work does.
The wound and the witness occupy the same layer of paint. Not sequentially. Simultaneously. The work does not move from one to the other. It remains inside both.
What the viewer encounters is a field that has not closed. The question it holds is not asked in words. It is asked in the way the eye moves through what cannot be resolved: finding footing, losing it, finding it off-center.
