A Rewilding Journey of Wholeness and Self-Healing
Conducted Via Zoom
February – October 2024
Howling at the Moon is an intensive for men who feel called to deeper inner work. Together with a cohort of fellow travelers you will journey into the depths of greater self-awareness resulting in the cultivation of wholeness and self-healing. The work will involve the deepening our “True Self” and greater awareness of the “False Self”, with the goal of experiencing the most life-giving relationship with ourselves, others, and the natural world. Carl Jung called this process “the path to individuation,” the journey of becoming who you were born to be.
The online cohort is a nine-month experiential practice with a group like-minded men, facilitated by two trained guides. To cultivate the gathering of men from across the country, meetings and practices will be conducted on Zoom. Our time together will be an immersion into the soul-based eco-centric work of Bill Plotkin (see the book “Wild Mind” by Bill Plotkin), and depth psychological work of James Hollis (see “Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life” by James Hollis) as well as other renowned cultural change agents.
The monthly cohort practices will include:
- The monthly cohort practices will include:
- Virtual group council and mirror work
• Solo wilderness/nature wandering (in your own location).
• Small group work with men in your cohort
• Individual dreamwork, active imagination, and mirror work with a guide (optional with additional fee)
Each month we will experience a particular facet of wholeness and/or specific inner protector as outlined in Bill Plotkin’s “Wild Mind.” Using the cardinal directions outlined in Plotkin’s Nature-Based
Map of the Human Psyche, you will be invited to personally experience each facet on solo wanders in a wild or semi-wild place, and have your experience witnessed in council.
The Howling Cohorts is appropriate life work for any man who previously has not had formal inner work training, but who is feeling a strong pul to be the best human he can possibly be. Your own Howling work may culminate in a Men’s Rite of Passage to ceremonialize your transformation and threshold crossing into a new world view of life – your life – as a consequence. Your experience can be extended and deepened in other Illuman programs as well.
