Soulcraft Journey - September, 2026

Under the spell of magically labyrinthian Utah canyons, we invite you to convene with a band of wanderers, tricksters and pilgrims for a unique journey of soul.

This September, we will gather for a Soulcraft Journey where, as a small community, we’ll enact a wild pilgrimage of soul through a dream-like landscape, and offer the canyons our attentions, unrestrained blessings and praise, our laments, tremendous questions, and our madcap and sacred ceremonies. Our consciousness-changing pilgrimage practices will move deeper into our bones and breath — and thus be more firmly rooted in us when we return to our everyday lives. We will closely attend the particular ways the landscape erodes, stirs, startles, shapes, and opens us, as if some wild possibility for our individual lives is evoked by the field formed by place, practices, and creatures (including ourselves). Our attentions will primarily be turned outward, toward the world, in recognition that our particular psycho-ecological niche — or soul — is best discovered, enriched and enacted in relationship with the Others.

Naturally, we will be carrying a basket of Soulcraft practices such as dreamwork, council, deep imagery journeys, and more. The specific practices we engage — and their timing — will spontaneously emerge from the depths that are stirred individually and collectively as we wander.

Our journey will unfold over eight days/nights. We will be backpacking, mostly at about 6500 feet elevation, in or near southern Utah’s chimerical Bears Ears National Monument where we will move our group camp probably two or three times. In places, the terrain may be steep. Participants will carry their own lunches and a portion of the group gear and share responsibility for the group breakfasts and dinners.

To participate in this expeditionary journey, you must be physically capable of carrying a fully-loaded backpack over steep and rugged terrain for up to 6 miles or so per day (without any significant anticipated discomfort).

This journey is for you if you are wandering deeper into the world — and into your own life — and if your soul journey would be unforgettably nourished, deepened, and wildly amplified in companionship with the enchanted canyoncountry and a band of wild human wanderers.
