This yearlong course begins in August 2025 and concludes in the summer of 2026 with a “practicum” and an optional on-land gathering: You will have guided and supported space to develop specific capacities and hone your own facilitation skills to deepen your own wild soul work, and leadership in a specific context of vocation, such as eco-psychology, Wild Church leadership, spiritual direction, pastoral leadership, nature-based soul work, organizational development and much more.
 
Deep in the dream-realm of myth and poetic imagination lies visionary treasure waiting to be uncovered, like something of inestimable value hidden in the icy layers of deep time. This treasure is one's unique image, a 'seed' of psycho-spiritual becoming, a greater night, an emergence dreamed of stars and dust, woven in the living waters of myth and the stories of ancestors, vibrating in the songs and patterns of the Earth. Most adults in a patho-adolescent society such as ours, teetering as it is on the brink of unprecedented destruction, never discover this visionary treasure, perhaps unaware of its presence, perhaps not knowing where or how to discover it. Yet we are all born to encounter this "truth at the center of the image" we were born with, in the words of poet David Whyte. Jesus speaks of "treasure hidden in the field" of the soul. And this mythic kingdom we seek, when we do find, leaves us disturbed, even troubled. After a thorough journey of descent and dismemberment we return astonished, we marvel. We will enter ancient and indigenous streams of Celtic, Hebrew, and Earth-based myth. Journey with saints, mystics, poets and shamans through the sacred mytho-sphere of the Deep World.
