Rewild Your Life
with Soulcraft
Nature-based tools and practices for personal resiliency and visionary action
with Animas Valley Institute Guide Gene Dilworth
June 25-27, 2021
Our wild minds possess astonishing resources, untapped potentials and depths that we might not even know exist until we discover how to access them, cultivate their powers, and eventually integrate them into our everyday lives. This weekend program offers an introduction to the foundations of Soulcraft, a set of nature-based tools and practices to support adults to discover and embody their unique, innate niche in the earth community. We’ll explore and engage in practices to cultivate four dimensions of human wholeness essential to becoming fully alive, generative participants in the wild reciprocity of the living world.
This program is offered in a hybrid online-outdoor format to make it convenient and accessible for all. We’ll meet online in four Zoom meetings over three days, combined with time between to engage in nature-based practices outdoors near where you live.
Special discounted sliding scale fee $69 to $129 for the the 3 days. Space limited

Gene Dilworth is dedicated to the project of rewilding the human spirit as an essential dimension of being fully human in these times.

Gene has been guiding groups and individuals in transformative nature-based experiences since 1986. He has taught ecopsychology and environmental studies at the university level, and has served as an academic administrator and other leadership roles in a variety of educational and environmental organizations.

The Inner Resilience Network and Animas Institute are thrilled to invite you on an experiential adventure to regenerate your heart and soul in nature. This retreat will also be an opportunity for you to experience self-care and support with your fellow change-makers and activists who are leading to freedom from fossil fuel dependency and practices that favor profit over planet.
Through a generous donation, we are able to offer a greatly reduced cost for this program. Because we want to support YOU in your work, we are making this retreat available at less than half the cost of a regular program. We feel its vital for change making activists such as yourself to have places to regenerate from the challenges of burnout, overwhelm, depression and more. It is our intention to hold a deep and transformative space that will help you feel renewed and inspired to carry your work to a new level.
Animas Institute will bring their 5 day “Wild Mind” journey, a soul stirring process reconnecting to a more nature-based way of understanding and living and inviting new understandings for your life. Before and after this deep time, the Inner Resilience Network will hold an emergent space for self-care, rejuvenation and integration of inner work into our service.
The Inner Resilience Network and The Animas program will support us in cultivating the personal resilience needed for a more nourishing and life sustaining culture that is more immune from the stresses of burnout and conflict - and towards authentic purpose, essential self-care and collaborative leadership that our world is longing for.
Together we will learn how to discover and integrate the untapped resources, depths and potential of our innate human wholeness. We will also learn how to integrate our childhood experiences and transform them into the realization of our true selves.
We’ll explore the landscape of the psyche through a variety of practices, including creative expression, self-designed ceremony, solo exercises while wandering on the land, group work, movement, voice dialogue, journaling, and deep imagery work.
Invitational Places
You are invited to this event if you are actively doing change making work and you have an interest in the inner dimension of change/activism, knowing how much that sustains your outer work and effectiveness. Due to COVID, we have reduced the size of this retreat by half.--these spaces will fill up very quickly, so please do register now!
Animas Institute has generously offered to cover the costs of their Guides’ fees. We at the IRN are doing this as affordably as possible so that those who can most benefit from this program can be there. Participants will therefore only need to cover the costs of their accommodation, food and basic administration expenses. This is a nonprofit event through Transition US and the IRN and we will gratefully accept donations for this program. We encourage people to invite their organization or community to support them through donations towards remaining expenses required for attendance.
Costs
Reduced Registration/Tuition fee: $200-$400 Sliding Scale (a discount of $600-900)
Organic Vegetarian Meals and camping space: $100 for the week
Total cost: $300-$600 sliding scale
Feel free to inquire about work trades and additional scholarships on top of this already greatly discounted program.
