A 4-part nature-based journey to reclaim your inner wildness
Friday mornings starting 29 August
Sillery Farm, Constantia
Join Rachael Duffy, Nature-based Soul Guide, for this 4-part journey into the wild architecture of your psyche. Cultivate your inner wildness and natural wholeness through nature-based practices and the mirror of wild nature itself.
Inspired by Bill Plotkin’s nature-based map of the psyche, these workshops will focus in on the four facets of an undivided self: The Nurturing Generative Adult; the Wild Indigenous One; the Innocent/Sage, and the Dark Muse–Beloved, developing your capacity to grow and strengthen in each of these areas. Within each facet you will also cultivate awareness of the subpersonalities that exist there, honing your ability to continue to function from the true Self when one of these tries to take over.
R395 for 1 session
R700 for 2 sessions
R1300 for 4 sessions
A 4-part nature-based journey to reclaim your inner wildness
Friday 29 August: 9am- 12pm
Sillery Farm, Constantia
The Nurturing Generative Adult
This facet of our human wholeness is the inner wise one who holds the centre — offering mature, loving support for ourselves, others, and the more-than-human world. Learn how to develop your capacity to nurture yourself and others in their essence and wholeness, without judgment, creating the conditions for all to grow and mature.
Meet your Inner Critics, Inner Flatterers and Loyal Soldiers. These are the ones who help secure a 'safe place of belonging' by provoking us to feel and act small.
In this workshop we will cultivate the Nurturing Generative Adult through nature-based practices and the mirror of wild nature itself. You will also take home self-directed practices to continue to cultivate this facet after our time together.
R395 if taken alone. Discounts apply if booked in conjunction with more workshops from this series.

The Wild Indigenous One
This is the untamed, sensuous Self — the part of us that remembers how to howl at the moon, be in relationship with an ancient Yellowwood, or listen to birdsong as instruction. Learn how to build a sensuous and enchanted relationship with Earth, recognising the animacy and aliveness of all nature.
Meet the 'Wounded Children' - Conformists, Victims, Rebels and Prices/ Princesses and reclaim the gifts of the 'Outcasts' of your true Self.
In this workshop we will cultivate the Wild Indigenous One through nature-based practices and the mirror of wild nature itself. You will also take home self-directed practices to continue to cultivate this facet after our time together.

Friday 12 September : 9am - 12pm

The Innocent/ Sage
Within this facet lives both our clear-seeing, and open-hearted wonder. Though it may seem a paradox — innocence and sagehood dwelling together — it is not, for true wisdom is rooted in wonder, and the deepest knowing remains ever curious and childlike. Learn how to reclaim your awe, wonder and original innocence. Be joyful though considering all the facts. Develop your capacity to see situations with absolute clarity, and with a return to grace.
Meet your Escapists, those parts that are adept at avoiding difficult situations.
In this workshop we will Innocent/ Sage through nature-based practices and the mirror of wild nature itself. You will also take home self-directed practices to continue to cultivate this facet after our time together.

Friday 19 September : 9am - 12pm
Sillery Farm, Constantia
The Dark Muse Beloved
This facet is the lover of the underworld, the one who invites us to surrender to the unknown, to court beauty, eros, and deep imagination. This facet asks us to dance with our deepest griefs, longings, and dreams, as these are often the gateway to Soul. It wants us to continuously surrender and sacrifice our old ways while giving birth to the never-before-seen.
Explore how to let the Muse create through you. Learn how to open the door for the Guide to Soul to appear — the Anima/Animus who leads us into the larger story our soul was born to live.
The subpersonality of the West is the Shadow, those elements of your psyche (both positive and negative) that are unknown to you.
In this workshop we will cultivate the Dark Must Beloved through nature-based practices and the mirror of wild nature itself. You will also take home self-directed practices to continue to cultivate this facet after our time together.

with Rachael Duffy and Matthew Rosmarin
Your beloved
is waiting
in dusks soft shadows
in your longing
to dive naked
in dark pools
between sleeping leaves
on forest floors
under bare feet
carrying you
into wild
loving arms
Can you hear the whispers of the wild, calling you into deeper intimacy with the mystery at the heart of all life? You are invited on a date with mystery in Redhill’s succulent fynbos slopes. A chance to wander into a deeply personal and intimate encounter with soul and earth.
With the wind and stones and trees as your guides, you’ll follow threads of wonder, allurement, and deep listening. As you attune to the unseen and sacred animating presence within all things, you may begin to sense the one who has been right there, within and around you, waiting for you all along.
This will be an immersive experience drawing from dream images, symbols, myth and poetry, with individually crafted solo wanders and soul sharing circle.
Join us in deepening your relationship with the earth around you, the wild one within you and the sacred mystery beckoning you home.
