Nature based soul initiation
in Aotearoa / New Zealand
Tending a deeper purpose, in relationship with the land
Soulcraft™ Aotearoa offers wilderness immersions and programs inspired by the soulcentric work of the Animas Valley Institute (AVI) of Colorado, USA.
The AVI inspired programs hosted in Aotearoa / New Zealand offer a contemporary Western, nature-based approach to the journey of soul initiation - a spiritual adventure that supports us to discover our unique place in the web of life. These programs draw on depth psychology, nature-based cultures, wilderness rites of passage, poetry and the art of the imagination.
