ReWilding Immersion: A nature-based exploration of Bill Plotkin's Wild Mind model

Based on Bill Plotkin’s work,Wild Mind: A Field Guide to the Human Psyche, this 6-day intensive is an experiential exploration of our human psyche, its capacity to strengthen inner ressources while being in deep relationship with the natural world.

Gatherings will be held on multiple areas of a gorgeous land, and invitations to wanders on the land will be given. Art, movement, deep imagination will be part of integrating the experiences made on the land. This retreat is deeply transformative and informative.

It is for people who:
– are looking for more authentic relationships with self and others
– want to fall in love or refall in love with the natural world
– feel at a crossroad, or more stuck than they wish for, or excited to open new doors
– want a pause, an introspective time
– need to reflect, grieve, or find missing parts of themselves
– want to learn about an amazing model for wholing/healing

In this intensive, we will work with Bill Plotkin’s Nature-Based Map of the Human Psyche. We will access what we call the four facets of the Self, or dimensions of human wholeness, as well as the four sets of fragmented or wounded personalities that are formed early in life. We will uncover the depths and potentials that our psyche holds, cultivate them and integrate them into our life.

This is a camping retreat, and is fully catered. Please bring your own gear.

Bill Plotkin is the founder of Animas Valley Institute, and author of Soulcraft: Crossing into the Mysteries of Nature and Psych & Wild Mind: A Field Guide to the Human Psyche. This intensive will use practices and models directly taught by Bill to Stéphanie and Sarah, while adding aspects of healing and land connection practices that the retreat teachers have been developing over their years as guides and therapists, including relationship to Ancestors and community.
