A directory of Rites of Passage, Wilderness Quest Guides & Soul in Nature practitioners in the UK and beyond within Europe, for whom English is the common language. 

--------------------------------

• Rites of Passage practitioners: Rites of Passage are the “ancient’s conscious approach to change.”
• Wilderness/Wilderness Quest Guides, a significant proportion of traditional rites of passage almost invariably take place within the womb of wild Nature. Wilderness guides conduct people to access the wilds knowing of its healing powers, reflective wisdom and challenges. To “Quest” is to very deliberately open to that wisdom and is a deep part of the pan-cultural mythic heritage.
• Earth Wisdom: A term sometimes used for teachings and practices that emerge/have emerged from deep connection, be that ancient, modern or the intertwining of the two.
• Soul in Nature: not all quests are rites of passage (though all may benefit from recognising the rite of passage context), nor do they fill days in length, nor take place in the deep wilds, (though some would say one can meet wilderness in your own kitchen). The learning and sharing frontier is necessarily diverse and long. May we respectfully grow, learn and share with each other.
• Practitioners: those who experientially recognise the value of such work and have begun its study and practice, and are interested in its nourishment and nurture in service of life.
