Wild Soul: Programs

You’re not alone in this. Join the next cohort.

 
 

This is a journey of descent to soul, the shape hidden in your own depths.

 
 

Perhaps there is a call on your life that you know very little about. Perhaps you feel something wants to be born, but you’re not sure of what it wants, or what may be asked of you, or what might need to change. Perhaps this call is your own soul knocking on the doors of your current waking life.  

To say “yes” is to descend.

 
 
 

Who is it for?

These programs are for those interested deepening their own unique conversation with soul, a kind of depth descent, and for those who feel blocked in their own spiritual life. If you’re having a “mid-life crisis,” even if you’re not in mid-life, I see this an opportunity given by the soul, rather than a problem. If you have questions about your life’s purpose, beyond or beneath what you do for a living, then you’ll find a home in these courses. If something about your spirituality is not making sense, you will find a safe (enough) place to explore these questions. If you feel like you’re at a crossroads and are unsure of what’s next, these intensives are designed to help. 

What topics and type of work do we cover?

In my Wild Soul programs we study spiritual maps, read stories and articles, invite honest dialogue, engage in dreamwork, and encourage nature-based practices. These programs combine my years of experience leading spiritual Pilgrimages to Israel, my pastoral work, my teaching experience, and my ongoing guide training at Animas Valley Institute in nature-based, soul-oriented programs. 

 

THE DETAILS

SESSION LENGTH

You will journey with other women and men as we explore the mysteries of soul-oriented work. Over the course of each program, we hope to deepen together your own relationship with Mystery and get clearer about living the largest story you’re capable of living.

Understanding your dreams: An online course

Understanding Your Dreams

January 7-28, 2024, Online Program

Dreams have been an incredibly important part of my own spiritual life for the last 10 years, as well as my guide training. I’ve come to see how dreams stand between what we know and what we do not know. This 4 week program is designed to facilitate a deeper understanding of dreams, and how they can influence our growth and development. Whether you remember your dreams, or forget them in morning, this course will awaken a conversation with your own hidden dream world. Join me Sundays in January. Please apply below.

Cost: $300. If you financial limitations, let me know in the application.

Time: Sundays at 3pm Eastern on Zoom

 
 

Exploring the sacred masculine

October 27-30, 2022

Exploring the Sacred Masculine (Past Program)

October 27-30, 2022, Michigan

This program is designed to facilitate a deeper conversation between the sacred masculine and our wounds, hangups, misunderstandings, shame, reluctance, passivity, and power games of the modern male experience. There are very few opportunities to have this sort of sacred and missing conversation. Join me and a few other men for an intense, life-giving, and challenging few days in the woods, not too far from Grand Rapids Michigan. Please apply below.

The cost is about $600, depending on accommodations (I’ll explain once you apply, the details have yet to be finalized). If you financial limitations, let me know in the application

Location: Private and Public Land, Big Rapids, MI

 Wild Soul Programs help you pay careful attention to places of crisis, calling, spiritual blocks, questions, breakdowns, and breakthroughs.

I look forward to our conversations about wholeness, our wounded parts, divine whispers, and the clues sent up from the soul. The ultimate aim of this relationship is to help you dive into the realm of your own soul, your unique place in the world, and to deepen your own relationship with the Transcendent. The great conversation with soul, with the voice beneath your voice, is where meaning, purpose, and even a sense of destiny is found. It’s from this place of soul we are best able to generatively serve the world and to be in relationship with the Divine, or God, or the Mystery.
