Walking Together On An Ecospiritual Liberatory Journey
“The day will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door….”
Throughout February, I’ll be talking to people who think a wilderness rite-of-passage program might be right for them.
At yesterday’s Wild Nature Heart Humboldt Gathering we dropped into our bodies, senses, souls, and stories of belonging in the Redwoods.
Last week, I (Ryan) continued to put Katie on the spot and asked, “If you had to summarize in a few words why wilderness rite-of-passage is important right now, what would you say?”
What does it mean to be an initiated adult? Here’s Katie’s answer when I posed the question.
Belonging. Letting go. Exploring roots. Community. Gratitude. Coming home to ourselves. Flow.
These are some of the themes that emerged in yesterday’s Deep Belonging to the World gathering.
This is for the crack that lets the light in, for trusting our wild heart bigness, for saying YES, we will feel the grief, we will mourn, because our wild nature hearts are in love with the world, and they are big enough to hold it all.
For NaNoWriMo2018, we challenged ourselves to write our Wild Nature Heart stories.

Conducting a self-ceremony on the land, I re-commissioned and re-directed my inner Loyal Soldiers. It is part of my work to continue deepening and balancing each facet of my psyche, and help others do the same.
