Here at Soulmaking in Nature we invite a small number of people who are called to offer solo wilderness rites to others to gather and learn how to do this safely and soulfully.

Based in our foundations of eco-psycho-systhesis and 10yrs of running vision quest and solo fasting rites, this training aims to equip you for holding and facilitating solo wilderness rites with fasting.

This hands-on course is a practical training in how to guide Soul-O, our signature rite of passage format. Soul-O includes a 24hr or 4-day wild camp and fast and is based on the three fold rite of passage formula of preparation, transition and integration.
