In just over 2 weeks - September 9th - the Purpose Discovery Program begins. It's a 3-month journey to help you step beyond the roles and routines of everyday life and discover the deeper story your Soul is here to live. Your particular way of loving this world.

Alongside the Core Faculty's guidance, you’ll be joined by a circle of remarkable teachers whose voices carry profound wisdom around Soul, purpose and the invitation of these times.

Through self-directed practices, nature-based processes, mentoring, and a supportive community, you’ll begin to weave the threads of your life into a clearer sense of direction and meaning. A life drenched in authenticity, service and soulful expression.

So much of what we're facing in the world comes down to relationship. With the Earth. With each other. With the truth of who we are.

Diné elder Pat McCabe names this as the root of many of the crises we find ourselves in, and points to what's possible. That when we come back into right relationship, the healing begins.

That's the conversation we're having on July 21st. It's FREE. Join us! Booking link in bio.

Unlike the reasoning mind, Imagination is available to us when the running commentary in our heads falls silent, when conditioned responses and thinking patterns are put to rest. And, especially, when we slow down.

What will you do to build the muscle of imagination today?

Join us on July 21st for what promises to be an important and inspiring conversation on Seeding a New Future with Pat McCabe, Woman Stands Shining. FREE and open to all.

You can feel things are changing in the world. And you want to be part of building what comes next, rather than bracing for it.

If that's true for you, you're not alone. Many of us sense that the old way of living is coming apart, and that something new is asking to be built in its place. The question is how to meet these times, and what is being asked of each of us.

In this gathering, Pat McCabe will share indigenous wisdom for these times. How to return to right relationship - with the Earth, each other, and our own true nature; and how to live in a way that is a blessing and benefit to all.

We hope to see you there.

Craig wrote Amphibious Soul after years of feeling exhausted and empty. He knew this wasn't our natural state. So he returned to the Cape and began diving into the kelp forest every single day, and slowly found his way back.

What he discovered is that we can all do this, wherever we live. Craig learned to track from San trackers in the Kalahari, then became the first person to track animals underwater in a kelp forest.

But his definition of tracking goes far beyond that. For Craig, a track is any clue left by any creature or plant, sand or rock. And his advice is simple: just start small. Seek out marks on plants, trees, rocks, or walls, wherever you are.

This is one of the things I'm most curious to explore with Craig on Saturday 30 May in a FREE online conversation. What does it actually look like to reclaim our wildness when we live far from the ocean and the kelp forest?

On May 30th, I'll be in conversation with Craig Foster about wildness, true belonging, and what becomes possible, individually, for our species, and for the world, when we remember we are nature? This is a rare opportunity to sit with one of the most compelling voices on wildness, belonging, and our relationship within the web of life.

Our bodies remember our true place of belonging long before our minds do. How long have you been away from home?

Do you ever feel an ache in the heart, a longing that you can't always put words to? It's the body recognising how long it's been away from home. We carry what I think of as a spiritual homesickness, a longing for a connection we know is real, but often don't know is missing.

We may mistake this longing as a need to belong somewhere else, as if home is somewhere we have yet to find. But our truest belonging has always been right here, in the living world, in the body of life itself. To be alive is to move with the heartbeat of the Earth, to feel the waters, winds, and seasons living and breathing through us.

We have never been separated, because we are nature.
