Discover more: Link in bio. #wildnatureheartchallenge MY NAME IS BELONGING They say the first step is admitting you have an addiction So here goes— my name is Mystery, I’ve been here a million times and Yes, I take heaping spoonfuls of galaxies when I should be sleeping I gulp in the seasons whenever I see one one sitting out on the table My name is Abundance, and I swallow fat Oceans calorie-dense forests and whole fields of lupine when I think no one is looking My name is Curiosity, and I look under rocks and climb through dark caves running my hands against the wet walls My name is Insatiable and I chew on entire mountain ranges just to get high I have no idea what they say about the second step, I wasn’t listening. I was too busy sitting on the edge of the cliff watching the sun retire and caressing the bark of the madrone tree My name is Belonging. #ryanvanlenning ——————————— 👣 DEEP BELONGING Course begins February 6.

INTO THE CAVE COURSE begins February 5. Calling in two more spelunkers of the soul to join this cohort. This is a 6-week interactive experience for people ready to take a deep dive into the cave of their Self in order to claim their power and wholeness. We go to the cave to embrace our own sacred. To find the Big Silence where we can hear ourselves—not the voice of society, not the voices of family and friends, but our own sovereign voice. We go to the cave for the descent into ourselves, to rest, confront and embrace the wounds and monsters, but also uncover the shimmering treasures to bring back as a gift to a world in need. We go to the cave, not to disappear, but return to the world and show up in our unique way. Over 6 weeks we explore through Online Gatherings, exercises and hard work in between the following topics: 🐻Deep Listening/Deep Belonging 🐻Knowing Yourself Like Guardian Oak 🐻Living the Seasons 🐻Sacred Apprenticeship 🐻Cultivating Wild Eros 🐻Allying Yourself with Bear Energy (Fierce Purpose, Groundedness, Hunting Your Wholeness, Power, Presence, and Protection, Unleashing Your Growl) 🐻Honoring the Darkness 🐻Shadow Work/Embracing the Monsters A key component of this experiences is having the opportunity to do a supported solo overnight or extended DayQuest on-the-land ceremony through the framework of wilderness rite-of-passage.
