DEEP BELONGING IN THE GREAT TURNING
Wild Nature Heart’s flagship course: A 6-week experience for people hearing the call to cultivate their ecospirituality, deepen their decolonial journey, and practice belonging to place and purpose as we intentionally meet this collective initiation of intersecting ecological/social crises and opportunity. (Next one starts February 2026)

WRITE YOUR WILD RIVER: A Poetry and Nature Connection Playshop
This 6-week workshop explores the play/craft of creative writing through an embodied, earth-centered, liberatory lens, and simultaneously, explore our embodied, earthy, multi-faceted selves through the exploration of poetry. (Next one starts February 15, 2026)

WRITE AGAINST EMPIRE (next one, February 8)
This is a evening gathering for people carrying grief, rage, confusion, clarity, and imagination in a time of imperial violence, lies, and psychic exhaustion. Together we’ll write from the body and heart—not to perform despair, aestheticize suffering, or draft polite appeals to power, but to metabolize what is happening and let language become a tool of orientation, refusal, and possibility.

EARTH INTIMACIES: APPRENTICING TO LIFE
Earth Intimacies is a 6-week interactive course dedicated to intentionally re-inhabiting the animate web of life. We will deepen our ecospiritual intimacies by tending sacred relationships with the other-than-human world (including Water, Moon, Lichen, Mycelium, Feathered Friends, Soundscapes, Emergence, and more), practice cultivating belonging and honoring longings, and proliferate imaginal buds for what is emerging in this Great Turning.(Next cohort starts February 2026)

WITHIN THE CAVE SOMETHING PULSES (runs most years December-January)
A 6-week interactive experience to slow down, apprentice to the season of darkness, and dive deep into the caverns of our Whole Self in order to discover what emerges in the fruitful darkness. (Next one starts Saturday, December 20, 2025)

🐉NEW: BECOMING BEAUTIFUL BARBARIANS
A community of practice and inquiry igniting imagination for composting and dreaming beyond Empire (8 Saturdays – start date SUMMER 2026)

WILD NATURE HEART MINI-COURSE – A Self-Paced Season of Deepening (Start anytime from anywhere)
A self-paced mini-adventure that guides you through easy-to-implement earth practices, concepts, and poetry that help you drop deeper into your body and your inner and outer wild nature. Engage in various activities that help you reconnect, feel alive, have fun, engage your senses, be inspired, reground, and reconnect to your rhythm and the rhythms of nature. Hosted on Teachable.

FALLING OFF THE MAP: TRICKSTER PRACTICE IN THE GREAT COMPOSTING
An 8-week interactive experience dedicated to proliferating imaginal buds beyond the inherited coordinates of Modernity, through an animist, ecospiritual, liberatory lens. The course is structured around experimenting in an embodied way with 12-ish trickster values/practices/images. (Next one TBD)
