 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.
Your soul is your true self, those qualities that most deeply
define and express who you are and the unique gift that you
were born to bring to the world, a world so much in need of
the socially transforming contributions of initiated, actively
engaged adults. To encounter the soul is to discover the mystical
image you were born with, which reveals the path to your greatest
personal fulfillment as well as the essence of your true service
to society (the cross-cultural wisdom traditions say these
are one and the same). Soulcraft practices spring from nature-based
cultures, modern depth psychology, the poetic tradition, and
wilderness rites of passage—to comprise a truly contemporary
Western path to soul discovery and soul initiation. For a
full discussion, see Bill Plotkin's book Soulcraft:
Crossing Into the Mysteries of Nature and Psyche.
The Soulcraft Intensive is highly experiential and—well—intense.
We alternate between practices utilized in group, practices
explored in solitude in nature, and sharing and deepening
those experiences in small groups (5 to 7 people each). There
is a Soulcraft guide for each small group, providing you with
a fully individualized experience. What you discover through
one practice is carried into and amplified by what you learn
in the next. By the end of the intensive, you will understand
yourself and your place in the world from a more soul-oriented
perspective, be clearer about the gifts you were born to bring
to the world, and have new skills to enrich your life and
to defend the health of the more-than-human world.
The Soulcraft Intensives are held on the edge of wilderness
at exceptional retreat centers throughout the United States
and Europe.

- Soulcentric Dreamwork
- Deep Imagery Work with Animal Guides
