Communitas - Honoring the mycelium network of psyche, nature and community

We want to create community, heightened solidarity, and shared experiences in liminal natural spaces through ceremony and deep listening. This is what communitas is.

We honour the full spectrum of human experience—welcoming every culture, every story, every identity. This is a space where LGBTQIA+ lives are seen, valued, and celebrated. All of us are vital to our collective becoming.

Communitas calls us into sacred connection—an invitation to transcend individual ego and step into the deeper currents of shared meaning. We enter communitas through profound, transformative collective experiences, where the soul remembers its belonging. In 'Soulmaking in Nature Communitas' we gather in ceremony and ritual, weaving intention, healing, and deep listening into the fabric of our shared journey. Guided always by the wisdom of Nature, we walk the path of psycho-spiritual exploration, allowing the earth, the sky, and the unseen to co-create with us, opening the way to profound transformation.

Communitas is the name we give to our community gatherings, collaborative creative endeavors and group rituals. We take a “both, and …” approach to dancing with our individualism - which can sometimes lead to feeling alone, disconnected or even existential anxiety - and our need for moments of collective joy and the healing power of togetherness with other human beings and the more than human world.


Rooted in C.G. Jung’s concept of the collective unconscious, communitas emerges when individuals experience a deep sense of unity by engaging in a shared liminal space. This phenomenon can be seen in rituals, festivals, and moments of intense group cohesion, when we connect with something greater than our individuality. Communitas also provides a container for integration and synthesis after such a liminal time. The benefits of communitas are far-reaching, offering psychological renewal, emotional healing, and a greater sense of purpose.


It is in moments of deep group connection, in ceremony, story, creativity and vulnerability, that we experience a release allowing genuine Self-expression. This can lead to an expanded awareness of one's place within the world. As we as individuals undergo these transformative experiences together and with nature as our co-creator and collaborator, we build a stronger sense of Self and an appreciation for the interconnected nature of eco, ego and psyche. In an increasingly fragmented world, fostering communitas is more vital than ever.
