There is a growing awakening in our time —

A quiet but powerful call to live with greater meaning, purpose, and soul. More and more, people are yearning to live in deeper alignment with their true nature — to feel alive, connected, and in service to something larger than themselves.

At this pivotal moment in human history, that longing is both personal and collective. Beneath the surface of our busy, distracted culture is a hunger — not just to heal, but to grow. To become fully human. Courageous. Wildly alive. To show up in the world as a unique expression of wholeness, and to pollinate the world with our one-of-a-kind gifts.

And yet, contemporary society has strayed far from the path of soul. We are often cut off from the deeper currents that guide psychological and spiritual maturity. The dominant culture encourages numbness over feeling, distraction over depth, conformity over authenticity. In this climate, many of us quietly suffer — sensing loss, confusion, and a slow unraveling.

But the longing remains — clear and insistent. We are meant for more than survival. Each of us is meant to enhance the web of life. To live in harmony with the Earth, and offer back the beauty we are here to bring.

Nature-based Body, Art & Soul

offers a loving, wise, and timely response to this longing. Rooted in both ancestral and contemporary practices, this work invites you into a process of self-healing, soulful deepening, and the cultivation of innate human wholeness. It is not simply about mending what's broken — it's about maturing into the fullness of who you are, and stepping into a life more centered in soul. Over time, this path shapes us into visionaries — people with the depth, artistry, and courage to reimagine ourselves and participate in the transformation of our wounded world.

TO LIVE A MORE SOUL ROOTED LIFE means to move beyond an out-dated psychological emphasis focused primarily on wounds and symptoms to seek out the more numinous gifts we all bear that lie trapped beneath the torment of old ideals, bounded by beliefs that no longer serve, relegated to shadows cast by fear, humiliation and shame. It is in nature-based settings that we do the retrieval work where encounters with astonishing beings and wild experiences mirror back to us more of our soul’s story, the one we carry with us our whole lives but may well have forgotten.

REACHING DOWN toward the depths of soul, we become consciously aware of the particular storied threads we must gather up in order to lovingly weave our gifts into being and make more visible our true natures. Learn vital nature- and arts-based practices designed to invite the kind of psycho-spiritual maturity that summons your deepest held wild-hearted passions found at the confluence of the sensuous body, the emotional heart, the reflective mind and the wild soul.

Through this work, you will learn to:

• Awaken and embody your innate human wholeness — summoning the deeper Self that already lives within you.

• Identify, befriend, and integrate fragmented parts of yourself — revealing the gifts hidden within your wounds and shadows.

• Enter into deeper communion with the living world — restoring relationship with nature as a mirror and guide.

• Expand your ecological identity — understanding your unique place in the greater story of life.

• Engage practices that open the gates to soul — through imagination, dreams, reflection, memory, and vision.

• Remember where you truly belong — not just socially or geographically, but cosmologically.

• Participate in what Thomas Berry calls The Dream of the Earth — becoming an agent of renewal in a time of great turning.
