Anima Terra: Yearlong Journey of Wild Descent and Soul Emergence
Advertisement

BEGINNING THIS APRIL!
This is a journey of soul initiation for women who feel the call from Earth and Soul to dive more deeply than ever before, to cross a one-way portal and fall back into the โ€œsource of everything,โ€ to dissolve and open to the Muse, to Mystery, to the mythopoetic underworld, to finally access their own ecological niche in Earthโ€™s dream.
GUIDES: Tracey Forest and Jonah Ruh Roberts
5 gatherings over a year's time (4 five-day and one 8-day with a vision fast) in the wilds of SW Vermont at Spirit Hollow.
DEAR SiSTeR ~
๐Ÿ— Have you reached a turning point in life where you feel a radical shift is occurring for you โ€“ like your orientation to everything is changing?
๐Ÿ— Do you feel an alluring call from your own depths โ€“ a call to roam the mysteries of the wild world?
๐Ÿ— Are you a woman who is beckoned โ€“ almost ravenously โ€“ to uncover your deepest life, a life that waits beyond the known?
๐Ÿ— Are you called to leave the โ€œvillageโ€ with a fierce longing to wander into the forest of Soul?
๐Ÿ— Is there a strong gravitational pull downward and inward toward something alluring, powerful, mythical, even dangerous?
๐Ÿ— Are your biggest questions no longer about social standing, jobs, relationship or career but rather about the Mystery that pulses softly at the very core of your life and about your soulโ€™s greatest desires?
๐Ÿ— Do you feel a longing-ache to seek your unique, yet-to-be-revealed gift for your people and for the greater Earth Community?
๐Ÿ— Are you ready to tear away the masks of the tame and domestic self and feel your pure wildness come through?
๐Ÿ— Do you feel like the life youโ€™ve been living is too small and that there is something more raw and real that is drawing you in โ€” something both terrifying and breathtakingly exciting?
๐Ÿ— Do you feel you must dissolve old identities and release attachments to what is holding you back from accessing and offering your greatest service to the World?
๐Ÿ— Are you ready to be challenged and encouraged by seasoned guides to look fearlessly in your own mirror with both love and ferocity?
If so, we have designed this yearlong immersion for you.

"I entered this journey with a painful longing for a deeper way of being, a deeper way of being in relationship with myself and life all around me, and a need for human community that aligned with this way of being. I was also filled with a deep-rooted fear that kept me from fulfilling this longing. During this journey, I uncovered the source of my fears, my core wounding, and through the deeply caring, consistent and wise guidance and camaraderie of KeyTurner and Raven, I learned how to lovingly transform and integrate my wounding, allowing me to uncover and live into the gifts hidden within that were so longing to be brought to life."
India Wild, 2023-2024 participant
This transformational journey is one of descent and return. The descent is into the underworld of Earth and psyche to let go of attachments to the roles and identities of a life that no longer feels like yours, so you can encounter the pure voice and true expression of your soul. Courageously releasing the cultural and personal mindsets that have bound you, you will cross many thresholds, confront your shadows, your fears, and your wounds as well as your light, passion and inspiration, and explore the edges of your grief and longing. In relationship with the clear reflections of nature, you can allow yourself to be radically reshaped by the elemental forces of wind and water, moon and sun, rocks and trees, owl and coyote, and return to your communities in wholeness, with your mythic soul now guiding your life.
Earth willing, during this yearlong journey, you will have a genuine soul encounter that shatters illusions and makes it impossible to stay small or to inhabit any world except the one to which you truly belong. The risk is you wonโ€™t be the same woman you used to be The reward is you will potentially be irreversibly changed into the one you were born to be. By gaining profound inspiration and vision for your life, you will return to your community with precious seeds and gifts that only you can offer the world.
By committing to this extended journey in a circle of sisterhood, you will be invited to cross more deeply into Mysteryโ€™s terrain than perhaps you ever have before. As the voices of the over-culture fade, and you leave behind the distractions of your daily life, you will finally come home to true belonging on Earth supported by loving guides and the wild ones in nature. By creating the space for your Soul to come through, you will finally partner with your ego to more fully live your sacred purpose into the world.
