Seeding the Heart of the Earth: Wholing and Self-Healing in a time of Unraveling
A Nature-Based Expressive Arts Developmental Path to Wholing and Self-Healing: Mind, Body, Spirit, and Soul.
What seeds are yours to plant in a time of unraveling?
How do you tend to your personal inner garden to cultivate new blooms?
What resources will help you water your inner storehouse when the well runs dry?
We will explore these questions and more during this nature-based, expressive arts intensive. In this program, you will have an opportunity to explore an eco-centric, psycho-spiritual approach to wholeness that develops all facets of the self: mind, body, spirit, and soul in relationship to the wild world. Within this model, based on the book, Wild Mind by Bill Plotkin, the human experience is de-centered in order to re-center the interconnected relationship between the human and more than human world. We will engage in deep imagery, dreamwork, and wild wanders on the land to support you in gaining deeper understanding of your unique facets of wholeness, as well as your inner protectors
that may have developed from past wounding. You’ll learn practices for wholing and self-healing that you can continue to work with long after this retreat.
