Wilderness Vigil: A rites of passage Ceremony for all ages

We are here as guides, offering tools you may find useful as you walk – and perhaps redefine – your path through life.

The teacher is nature – the mirror and the wisdom-holder for us all.

We offer to create and hold space, and build a strong, steady container through which you will journey through a three-stage process:

• Severance: a letting go, a shedding of the shape or ‘skin’ that no longer fits.
• Threshold: a time to pause, to contemplate, to transform, and ask, Who am I now?
• Incorporation: literally “taking into the body”; the act of bringing your insight, vision, and gifts back into the world to best serve your community.

At its heart, this ceremony is a deep journey into relationship: with place, with self, and with the wisdom of the collective unconscious and our spiritual nature.

It is a rite of passage: a movement from one life stage to the next; a moment of release, followed by the beginning of something new.

We offer an experience to  guide you through a 6 day process including solo time in nature, conversation, mentorship and engaging practices to help you find clarity on the direction you want to take your life and how to walk your unique dream back into the world.

he invitation is to spend 2 days and nights in solitude, fasting, with only yourself and the more-than-human world for company, held and mirrored by the unspeakable magnificence of Country.

We’ll support your preparation, gathering online for 2–3 Zoom meetings before the time on Country.

Then, we’ll spend 6 days together on Country – from 16 to 21 November – holding this ancient rite that has helped people navigate life transitions for as long as humans have existed.

Finally, we’ll gather again on Zoom to reflect, and integrate what it means to return to a world that may not have changed with you. Incorporation begins – grounding your experience into the life you now step back into.
