Re-wilding School

4/16/2019

0 Comments

 
OK, nature has spoken.  Nature has said that it is time to get back to work, teaching others what I have learned over the past 2 years reconnecting, restoring, and re-wilding in the woods.

Here are the details:
  • Re-wilding School will open in Fall 2019.
  • This is a 4-week pilgrimage into the soul of your life.  A Personal Identity Recovery (aka SPIRITUAL) practice done in nature, with nature.
  • Your truth is holy.  Your deepest truth is the holiest thing about you.
  • If something is true in the woods, it is true.  Period.  
  • Listening to, and honoring this truth, in nature, results in healing.  All people are capable of self-healing. 
  • Self-healing consists of restoring integrity.  In this context, integrity means wholeness.
  • Restoring wholeness results in experiences of bliss.  Feelings of bliss are how you know you are on the right track.
  • Re-storing and re-orienting our lives around our deepest truths is a spiritual practice.  The purpose of this class is to share the blueprint that I followed.  Your destination and truth will be unique and specific to you, but this path may support you in reaching it.
  • When we feel better on the inside, we make better choices on the outside.  Healing ourselves is how we heal the world.

The natural world, the forest, the woods, is our original, and ultimate, mother.  The mother of us all.  There is no better place to heal ourselves, our wounded feminine, our mother wounds, or any painful part of ourselves, than in the woods.

This is what I have spent the past 2 years doing: listening to my deepest truth, following the revealed path, restoring my integrity/wholeness, trusting my deepest self (re-wilding!), developing simple healing practices, and experiencing regular phases of bliss.  Oneness.  Unity.  Beauty.  Whatever name speaks to you, the underlying feeling is, in my experience, the meaning of life.  And it is possible to claim and create it for yourself in your life.

Nature is a deeply spiritual experience.  This is a spiritual practice.  This is not a "one and done" experience of bliss, it is a roadmap for an ongoing practice of turning away from the messages of the culture into the deepest truths within our hearts, and from there experiencing embodied moments of bliss with the Great Creator.  There will be healing practices included, as well as recommended readings and time in the woods.  Approximately 5-10 hours per week is recommended.

This type of growth feels unnatural at first.  Just becomes it feels unnatural does not make it wrong or strange, it simply makes it unfamiliar.  This changes with more exposure, as the unfamiliar becomes familiar.  Eventually the practices become necessary, and nothing is as important as living in integrity with your deepest truth.  

We are all capable of self-healing.  This is the most empowering part - an individual path to knowing your truth. It transcends a circumstance, a question, an opportunity, it is a deep-seated joy in living this life.  There is no need for an external healer, or guru, or interface to the Divine.  It is all within you, all the time.  You can access it any time.  And, this is not about "raising your vibration," "choosing love," or any other mantra.  It is not aspirational in any way, it is simply about touching the Divine that is already within you. 

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.  ~Rumi
