SUMMARY:Expressions of interest  for Wilderness Vigil : A Rite of Passage Ceremony for all ages - August 2026 enrolments close 1 march 2026
DESCRIPTION:We come together out on Country \nto humbly ask \nto come home to ourselves. \nBy reconnecting as humans to Nature\, \nwith our unique gifts\, \nto serve our communities. \n  \nWe are here as guides\, offering tools you may find useful as you walk – and perhaps redefine – your path through life. \nThe teacher is nature – the mirror and the wisdom-holder for us all. \nWe offer to create and hold space\, and build a strong\, steady container through which you will journey through a three-stage process: \n\nSeverance: a letting go\, a shedding of the shape or ‘skin’ that no longer fits.\nThreshold: a time to pause\, to contemplate\, to transform\, and ask\, Who am I now?\nIncorporation: literally “taking into the body”; the act of bringing your insight\, vision\, and gifts back into the world to best serve your community.\n\nAt 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. \nIt 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. \n  \nAre you wondering what direction to take your life?\nDo you feel there is more to life that your not quite seeing or what you dream of feels out of reach? \n  \nWe will create a space to disconnect from the “stories” and pathway we have been sold as a society\, to explore what is uniquely ours and how to connect with and remain in contact with our unique dreams. \n  \nSounds great but whats it all about? \nA lot of you might be asking…..”well this sounds great but what does it actually mean and what will it look like?” \nGreat question! here is a half honest half evasive answer……….. we want you to both know and not know at the same time. \nWe’ll support your preparation\, gathering online and in person   before the time on Country. \nThen\, we’ll spend 6 days together on Country in  August 2026 – holding this ancient rite that has helped people navigate life transitions for as long as humans have existed. \nThe invitation within those 6 days  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. \nFinally\, 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. \n  \nIf this sounds exciting and / or scary: then this is the program for you………………..  \n  \nThe cost for this program includes\,  precamp sessions to set individual intentions\, camping accommodation\,  venue\, resources\, fully facilitated 6 day process by 2 experienced guides  and supports and  post camp integration .  \nWe have multi levelled pricing and payment plans with easy reminders to allow you to pay in stages. sliding scale for this program is between $ 1200 and $ 1500   \n  \n**We highly encourage you to ask your community\, family and friends for support and they can leave a donation towards your spot directly with us.** \nIf you cannot afford the full rate please contact us we are working to find a few semi subsidised places for the camp.  \n  \nIf you are interested  and you know you are drawn to this  experience go to the expression of interest form  \n  \nProgram preparations commence in March 2026 so register now  to be part of this  and received detailed information onhow to enrol and emerse in this life changing   transition.  \n  \nif naturally questions and hesitations  arise and you want to  discuss if this is the right step for you give us a call.  \n  \nReijer – 0408 605 842 \n
