This contemporary embodiment of the ancient vision quest is a dynamic wilderness rite for men and women who are seeking greater clarity regarding life purpose and meaning, and/or
undergoing the healing and empowerment of a major life transition.
|
|
| |
This is our popular five-day experiential plunge into the wild depths of Soulcraft; a synergistic set of nature-based practices designed to evoke the life-shifting experience of
soul encounter.
|
|
| |
These courses are designed for those who have previously vision-fasted or have experienced other soul-oriented work (need not be with AVI) as well as for wilderness-initiation guides,
soulcraft trainees, psychotherapists, educators, and health professionals.
|
|
| |
Our new programs and those that extend soulcraft into particular areas of interest. |
|
| |
Programs that deepen and broaden our sensory, emotional, and imaginal intimacy with the wild Earth. We discover ourselves by exploring the world that
makes possible our lives. |
|
| |
Using the 8-stage model of human growth developed by Bill Plotkin, these programs help you clarify your next steps in soulful personal development,
and help parents, educators, wilderness guides, and therapists align their work with both nature and soul. |
|
| |
Programs that help us approach true elderhood – the final quarter of life in which we join the Council of Elders and learn to care for the soul
of the greater, more-than-human community. |
|
| |
Programs designed to initiate and catalyze the journey toward soul, true adulthood, leadership, and an authentic life. |
|
| |
The Soulcraft Apprenticeship and Initiation Program (SAIP) is designed for those ready to apprentice themselves to their souls and to make a commitment to learning, employing, and
co-developing a contemporary, Western, nature-based path to soul encounter and soul initiation.
|
|
| |
These one-at-a-time apprenticeships are for those who seek training in Animas soulcentric approach to guiding vision quests. Your Quest Apprenticeship can, at any later time, become
part of your Soulcraft Apprenticeship and Initiation Program (see above) should you decide to enroll in the latter.
