DEEP BELONGING in This Great Turning: 6-Week Interactive Experience
This is a 6-week experience for people longing to cultivate their ecological self, embody their wholeness, and deepen their belonging to place and purpose as we intentionally meet this moment of intersecting ecological and social crises.
Are you ready to step more fully into your wild purpose as we intentionally meet this moment of intersecting crises?
It’s no secret we are living through seismic cultural and ecological shifts, a time of both vast uncertainty and radical possibility. It has been called The Great Turning/Great Unraveling and has about it the feel of a grand rite-of-passage. It is a collective initiation calling us to deepen our belonging to the other-than-human world, compost old oppressive forms and ways of being, and inhabit your niche in the ecosystem of healing and justice.
Over 6 weeks, we’ll explore through conversation in circle, sense and somatic exercises, soul work and integration activities, poetry, 1:1 consultations, and a private Facebook group. A core component of this course is the opportunity for a supported solo night or extended day quest on-the-land ceremony through the framework of wilderness rite-of-passage.
When: Tuesdays, October 27-December 1 (Online)
Time: 5:00-6:30pm PST
Cost: Early bear $247 (Regular price $297)
Class limited to 8 people to ensure an intimate group
2 scholarships available for BBIPOC.

“This course is a deep-dive across 6 weeks. Ryan’s skill and generosity of spirit has guided me through a variety of themes and practices that have been both thought-provoking and empowering. I’ve valued this time immensely, and the abundant materials provided will keep me moving through this journey for a long time to come. I’ve developed a richer relationship with my Urban Wild environment in very unexpected ways, and for that I am so very grateful.” —Claire (UK Fall 2019)
