"Our developmental dilemma stems primarily from our disconnection from nature, from both our outer and inner natures: the loss of our experienced belonging to and entanglement within the natural world and the loss of our communion with the very core of our own individual human nature our Soul. What we have lost, in particular, is the journey of soul initiation a psycho-spiritual undertaking that connects us in the most profound way to both the Earth community and the source of our deepest humanity. This journey, if revitalized and reclaimed, can transform everything for us, individually and collectively." Bill Plotkin is the author of "The Journey of Soul Initiation." As a depth psychologist, wilderness guide, and founder of western Colorado's Animas Valley Institute, he has led thousands of women and men through nature-based initiatory passages. Here he shares more on the need for soul initiation in our times.
