Human Development in Nature (4-Week Cohort)

This is a small, welcoming “lunchtime” series held outdoors. We’ll weave together experiential practices and foundational ideas from the Nature-Based Human Development Wheel *.

This course is insightful for any adult, parent or educator, interested in learning how humans can better grow and mature, as nature intends.

We will meet weekly for 4 consecutive Fridays at the same time and place, forming a steady and supportive learning community.

Each cycle is offered seasonally, and no prior experience is needed—only curiosity and willingness to participate.

Limited to 10 participants, 18 and older.

*Based on the 8-stages of psycho-spiritual maturation as presented in Nature and the Human Soul, by Bill Plotkin, PhD

Authentic Self - An Exploration of Innate Human Wholeness (8-Week Cohort)

This warm and supportive small-group series is based on Bill Plotkin’s Wild Mind framework. We gather over the course of two, 4-week sessions, to explore together an archetypal map of the psyche. Participants should be prepared to read or listen to Wild Mind: A Field Guide to the Human Psyche over the course of our gatherings.

Our time together is a space for adults to practice their innate human wholeness; which implies that we will also begin cultivating the capacity to care for our wounded and protective strategies.

Each session includes brief teaching, time in nature, gentle imaginal exploration, and a closing circle where sharing is always optional. The emphasis is on learning through both study and lived experience. Included in your cohort are two optional mentoring sessions, either in-person or online. Mentoring is designed to support and amplify what is emerging for you at any stage in your journey.

Limited to 10 participants, 18 and older.

In Person and Ongoing

The Way of Council

There comes a moment for many adults when the life that once carried them no longer does.

Sometimes it arrives quietly: a loss of meaning, a dull ache beneath success, a growing distance from one’s own vitality. Sometimes it comes as a rupture—around partnership, parenthood, vocation, health, or aging. What once felt solid begins to unravel. The strategies that worked in earlier adulthood no longer suffice.

This is not failure.
It is a threshold.

The Way of Council offers a sacred container for those moments—an intentional gathering where adults of any age are invited to meet what is stirring beneath the surface of their lives. Whether you are entering adulthood for the first time and sensing its fragility, or standing at a later crossroads asking who you are becoming now, this work welcomes you.

We gather in the spirit of council: slowing down, speaking honestly, listening deeply. Here, we are not asked to perform, fix, or impress. Instead, we practice presence—learning to stay with what is real as it moves through us. Grief, anger, longing, fear, creativity, and strength are all given room to breathe.

This is not therapy, though it can be deeply therapeutic. It is not self-improvement, though lives change. It is a community of embodied practice—where transformational energies are allowed to move, shape, and reorient us in the company of other men.

I come to this work not as someone who has perfected his life, but as a facilitator in service to something larger: the recovery of authenticity in the hearts of men and women. An expression of life rooted not in domination or withdrawal, but in integrity, humility, courage, and relationship—to self, to others, to the living world.

When we gather in this way, something ancient awakens. We remember that we are not meant to walk our initiations alone. We discover the relief of being witnessed without judgment, and the strength that comes from standing shoulder to shoulder with others navigating their own becoming.

If you feel the quiet pull of an inner threshold—if something in you knows it is time to listen more deeply—this council may be a place to begin.

Soul Collage

Soul Collage is a creative, imaginal experience that invites the inner world to speak through image, intuition, and the hands.

Each session opens with a short, conversational teaching (about 20–30 minutes) that explores a different facet of the psyche. The work is lightly held within the framework of the Wild Mind—a map of the psyche that honors multiple inner aspects and ways of knowing.

Sometimes we will employ guided imaginal journeying, allowing images, symbols, and inner figures to arise to support our goal of an intuitive collage-making practice, where we listen for what wants to take form rather than deciding in advance. No artistic skill is required; the emphasis is on presence, curiosity, and relationship with what emerges.

Soul Collage is not about self-improvement or fixing what’s broken. It is a practice of attending, befriending, and making visible what already lives within.

Materials are provided, and each session is held with care, confidentiality, and respect for each person’s unique inner landscape. No prior experience with art or imaginal work is needed.
