This contemporary embodiment of the ancient vision quest
is a dynamic wilderness rite for men and women who are seeking
greater clarity regarding life purpose and meaning, and/or
undergoing the healing and empowerment of a major life transition.
|
|
| |
This is our popular five-day experiential plunge into the
wild depths of Soulcraft; a synergistic set of nature-based
practices designed to evoke the life-shifting experience
of soul encounter.
|
|
| |
These courses are designed for those who have previously
vision-fasted or have experienced other soul-oriented work
(need not be with AVI) as well as for wilderness-initiation
guides, soulcraft trainees, psychotherapists, educators,
and health professionals.
|
|
| |
Our new programs and those
that extend soulcraft into particular areas of interest. |
|
| |
Programs that deepen and
broaden our sensory, emotional, and imaginal intimacy with
the wild Earth. We discover ourselves by exploring the world
that makes possible our lives. |
|
| |
Using the 8-stage model
of human growth developed by Bill Plotkin, these programs
help you clarify your next steps in soulful personal development,
and help parents, educators, wilderness guides, and therapists
align their work with both nature and soul. |
|
| |
Programs that help us approach
true elderhood – the final quarter of life in which
we join the Council of Elders and learn to care for the soul
of the greater, more-than-human community. |
|
| |
Programs designed to initiate
and catalyze the journey toward soul, true adulthood, leadership,
and an authentic life. |
|
| |
The Soulcraft Apprenticeship and Initiation Program (SAIP)
is designed for those ready to apprentice themselves to
their souls and to make a commitment to learning, employing,
and co-developing a contemporary, Western, nature-based
path to soul encounter and soul initiation.
|
|
| |
These one-at-a-time apprenticeships are for those who seek
training in Animas soulcentric approach to guiding vision
quests. Your Quest Apprenticeship can, at any later time,
become part of your Soulcraft Apprenticeship and Initiation
Program (see above) should you decide to enroll in the latter.
