Rule of thumb: Never give your homebrew features that are like official features, but more powerful.
Case in point, your lvl 6 "Nature's Wrath." You have a monk temporarily wild shaping better than druids who are the best at wild shaping. Where moon druids get to wild shape into beasts with 1/3 the CR of their druid lvl, you're letting a monk wild shape into a beast tha has 1/2 the CR of his lvl. (And no, neither the fact that this is 1/day instead of 2/rest, nor that the CR will never scale any higher, can balance it out.)
Archetype features generally play better as passives, at-will abilities, or as new uses for the classes' spendable resources... not so much as 1/day novas.
(You might be able to get away with allowing 1/short rest wild shapes into low CR beasts or even a particular CR 1 beast, but not a whopping CR 3, even if it's only 1/day.)
But don't take this review too hard; homebrews are usually OP
