There are a lot of definitions when it comes to "soul".
In this episode, I riff on the journey of soul initiation, the descent of the soul, waking the bone pile, awakening our potential, and how these themes are relevant within the context of my next iteration of offerings, The Pilgrimage: Shamanic Wilderness Expeditions.

Nathan Meola is a medicinal storyteller, intuitive bodyworker, and master of ceremonies living on the Central Coast of NSW.
He spends his time sharing the medicine of myth, story, and ancient wisdom to awaken the mythic imagination and help people slow down so they can hear the whisper of their soul and connect with the wild one within. His work stands at the crossroads where the ancient craft of storytelling meets meditation, sound healing, and ceremony.
He hosts regular story circles, men's gatherings, improv movement workshops, and storytelling courses in person and online.
He comes from a lineage of hands on healers from the mountains of Puglia on the East Coast of Italy and uses the power of touch to help people heal from trauma, let go of the past, and release the stories that are woven into the fabric of the body.

Got a new prescription from the doctor... the witch doctor, that is.
To prescribe myself a little poetic license with this one and offer a little communion with the wild.
Wild Mountain Dreaming and the Reservoirs of Stillness.
Settle in as I stir the mythic wellsprings of imagination and vision, and take you on a little journey.

Vision Questing & Soul Reclamation: Wilderness fasting to connect with Soul & Spirit.
Renée Danú joins us for another episode and season of Birdsong.
Renée is a plant wisdom keeper, animist herbalist, ritualist & ceremonialist, green witch, forest tender, medicine woman, shamanic practitioner, teacher, mentor and writer. Her work as an earth doula, bio-regionalist and wild crafter is deeply supported by the forest she lives in and tends to, providing her with an abundance of local plants to alchemise into botanical medicines that are part of her Apothecary she calls Wild Kin.
Renée sees herself as a continual apprentice of the earth wisdoms, Druidism, specifically the path of ovate and hedge druidry, and all botanical ancestors in the container of the old ways, animism and folk herbalism. She is an ardent student of the most learned teachers of herb craft, the plants themselves. Her journey of study & continual learning is in deep reverence, rites of passage & initiation and has spanned upwards of 30 years.
She offers ceremonial work with seasonal plant kin and their otherworldly botanical consciousness aligned to the old ways, bioregionally in deep reverence and totality.
She offers apprenticeships in the Plant & Earth Wisdom Pathway, she calls an "Earth Doula-ship™" as well as the Shamanic Pathway and Ceremonial Crafting. She also offers Botanical Consciousness Counsel, as well as in person and on-line courses, and also 1:1 Shamanic + Plant Spirit Healing Sessions.
