APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM IN WILDERNESS
RITES OF PASSAGE,
EARTH-BASED HEALING PRACTICES
AND APPLIED ECOPSYCHOLOGY
For Women Only
With Anne Stine, MA, MFT
This training is for women who are already experienced with the Vision
Quest/Fast and feel a call to deepen their connection with this ancient
Ceremony within the cycles and seasons of human nature. In the beautiful
wilderness setting of the Klamath-Siskiyou Basin in Oregon, we will gather
together in supportive and creative ways.
Collaboratively, we will explore our questions and discover more about
our unique skills as apprenticing midwives of initiatory earth based rites
and practices with others in natural settings. With the wisdom of the
natural world guiding us, we will sit in council & dream circles,
create ceremony, refine our understanding of the Four Shields of human
nature, have solo time on the land, and inspire/empower one another in
the profound practices of storytelling and mirroring, and other areas
of interest to each participant trainee. We will explore our own unique
ways of facilitating these ceremonies with others, and how to incorporate
these practices into one's life and community.
If you have had some training or are already guiding/ teaching/mentoring
etc. in earth rites, this will be an opportunity to deepen and strengthen
your skills and empower you to take the next steps in your purpose.
This program is no longer. If you have questions
or would like referral to other training programs, please contact Anne
Stine 541-488-4899 or visit the Wilderness
Guides Council website.
