Immersive Workshops
Turning The Wheel
In a world that often fragments us from our wildness, this journey offers a return and an invitation to reinhabit the cycles of our human nature. Through the teachings of the Four Shields, (something lineage of SOLB) you will explore the cyclical, ever-changing terrain of your humanness. A calling out to deep memory that lives within all of us - we are not separate from nature. OR we are no different from the land on which we live.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This 5-day, 5-night nature-based ceremonial journey is a a communal gathering and solo exploration of the landscape of soul, psyche, and nature. For five days and nights, you will be fully immersed in a nature-based ceremonial container guided by the teachings of the Four Shields of Human Nature. Rooted at a communal basecamp, this journey weaves together group council, self-generated ceremony, and solo exploration on the land. Each day, you will venture alone on a medicine walk with one of the Four Shields, culminating in an optional solo night vigil. After your time with each Shield, you will return to basecamp to be witnessed and mirrored by guides and peers in story council.
Solo Medicine Walks with each of the Four Shields

ROLE OF THE GUIDES
As guides, we are not acting as ceremony leaders, but rather as creators and maintainers of the ceremonial container in which each participant will create their own ceremony. This journey is just as much guided as it is be co-created by each participant and the emergent properties of the group.
FOOD & GEAR
Participants will arrive with what they need to live self-sufficiently on the trail while providing (most) of their own food and gear. We will provide three communal meals (First Evening Dinner, Post-Fast Meal, and Closing Dinner). We are happy to help with food and gear suggestions (including rentals).
COMMUNITY & CONTAINER
This journey is designed for a small group of no more than 7 participants, creating an intimate community for trust, presence, and shared growth. We will ask for an enthusiastic commitment and a deposit so we can prepare most effectively.
