Rewilding Intensive: A nature-based exploration of the landscape of the human psyche

Based on Bill Plotkin’s work,Wild Mind: A Field Guide to the Human Psyche, this 4-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 space on this gorgeous land and in the round wooden sanctuary building, and invitations to wanders on the land will be given. Art, movement, deep imagination will be part of integrating the experiences from the land. This retreat is deeply transformative and informative.

It is for people who:
– want more authentic relationships with self and others;
– feel at a crossroad, or more stuck than they wish for, or excited to open new doors
– want to fall in love or refall in love with the natural world
– 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.

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.
