Dancing with Dream Maker Into the NightBody with Art and Soul - New Zealand February 25 - March 1, 2026.
Enter into a divine dance where our dreaming nightbody steps into confluence with the deep source of our creativity. This dance is a powerful portal to soul work, through which we bridge from dayworld consciousness to the hidden rivers of the unconscious in ways that are unique to you as accessed through your imagination, emotions, body, and relationships. Through the interplay of these modalities, you become a mysterious dream-walker shaping soul’s longing into expressions of art and motion.
Red Heart Wild Mind: July 21 - 25, 2026
Come join us in the red sands and wild gorges of Eastern Arrernte desert country, land shaped by the Caterpillar Dreaming, held by Eastern Arrernte Traditional Owners as a living current and Law. Here the ancient rocks speak in the language of deep time, the gnarled river gums beckon to the deep imagination, and the rumbling subterranean waters invite you to your sacred edge, calling for you to dive in…This is an opportunity to wander under the vast, open skies and to listen closely to the wild indigenous spirit of the land, where you may offer yourself up for psycho-spiritual transformation and to be reshaped by the image of your own Soul.

Wild Portal to the Imaginal – November 4-8, 2026
There is a sacred portal, a mysterious door, a green gate, a dark space into certain realms of our consciousness, of our and the collective Psyche. These portals are both within and without. Many of us struggle to find enchantment in the world and a connection to our imagination. An important practice for intentionally accessing the sometimes-hidden realms of the Self, the Earth, and the Cosmos is through the practice of deep imagery.

Wild Mind Training Residential – November 14-18, 2026
You must be enrolled in the WMTP to register for this residential. The Wild Mind Training Residential is the core of the Wild Mind Training Program steeped in the Nature Based Map of the Human Psyche. In this 5-day training, participants hone their skills in listening, tracking, deepening, mirroring, and creating invitations to help others cultivate their wholeness and heal their wounded and fragmented subpersonalities. We also practice the skills of council, dreamwork, and Shadow work, and further develop our understanding and use of the Nature Based Map of the Human Psyche.
