Workshops
Nature offers one of the most effective
means of soul discovery, but there are many paths to
soul exploration and embodiment, some ancient and
others modern. A few of the common practices include:
breathwork, movement arts, bodywork, singing and
voice, drumming, dreamwork, depth psychology, creative
art process, journaling, poetry, personal ceremony,
solitude and extended silence, somatic tracking,
shamanic journeys, wandering, deep imagery, vision
quests, ceremonial sweats, fasting, story telling,
chanting, hallucinogens, and more.
Soul Quests workshops are aimed primarily at men (of all sexual orientations) and are designed to be experiential, focusing on a very embodied approach to soul, creativity, and personal transformation. Through individual and group activity, ceremony and heart-centered council, along with somatic experiences and time in Nature, we create opportunity for soul waves to ripple through the bodymind. Even with this short, weekend dive into the depths, an individual can sense how soul arises as a longing in his body and that the bodymind offers a largely untapped but powerful avenue for deepening into a sensual connection with life.
The soulful journey is, by its very nature, individual and often solitary. Being part of a group offers the profound opportunity to be fully witnessed and supported on one's personal quest. Many of us are longing for a sense of community, a deeper sense of connection with the world around us. As men, regardless of sexual identity, the options can feel especially limited. A Soul Quests workshop offers the opportunity to join others also looking to build a tribe of soulful, conscious, embodied individuals striving to evolve as open-hearted men.
Workshops are held at fully catered retreats in rural countryside settings (UK) or on the edge of wilderness (USA). Not only does this minimize distraction and allow one to step outside his normal life for perspective, it allows participants to drink deeply of wild beauty and offers the opportunity for reflection in nature... and thus deeper soul work. Participants are encouraged to bring comfortable clothes that allow for freedom and ease of movement, as well as clothing and gear for being outdoors.
Workshops typically begin early evening on Friday and run through lunch on Sunday. A deposit is required to hold your space in the group, with full payment due three weeks before the event commences.
