SoulcraftTM

Soulcraft™ is a synergistic set of contemporary, nature-based practices designed to evoke the life-shifting experience of soul encounter and initiation. Collected and synthesized by Bill Plotkin, Ph.D., soulcraft practices spring from wilderness rites, depth psychology, ecopsychology, the poetic tradition, nature-based peoples, and the wild earth itself — to comprise a contemporary, Western, and nature-rooted path to self-discovery and initiation.

Soulcraft practices include:

· Soulcentric dreamwork

· Deep imagery

· The way of council

· Solitude and soul tasks in nature

· Tracking and skillful nature observation

· Conversations with the more-than-human world

· Self-designed ceremony

· Shadow work

· Sacred wound work

· Befriending the dark

· Soul poetry and expressive arts

· Ecstatic trance drumming and movement

and more!

 

For a thorough introduction to Soulcraft and the underworld journey, read Bill Plotkin’s book, Soulcraft: Crossing into the Mysteries of Nature and Psyche.

For a visionary, nature-aligned model of human development, describing the eight stages of human life and the essential role of wild nature in each, read Plotkin’s Nature and the Human Soul: Cultivating Wholeness and Community in a Fragmented World.

Both books are available at www.natureandthehumansoul.com.
