Wild Seasons Course Overview

  • Wild Seasons helps you recover the ability to read the ancient script of nature found within the wheel of the year. How do the seasons speak to you? What can we learn when we lean in and listen to the conversation between the sacred energies of the cardinal directions West and the elements? How is our soul’s journey activated when we ground our spiritual formation in a place, learning to once again listen to the wisdom that is imminent within our particular bioregions?  Through the application of a sacramental and animistic worldview, we recover the ability to read the seasons and elements as sacred script.


  • Wild Seasons invites you to the integral the work of recovering a worldview that sees the seasons, and all of the natural world, as part and parcel to the health and flourishing of our human and community health. Rewilding Practices are offered that will awaken dormant spiritual lives, stimulating roots of interconnection between our selves, the Sacred, and the more-than-human world.


  • Wild Seasons offers you 60 professionally produced modules via the on-line course platform, Teachable. You will come away with the felt sense of being out in the wilds the mountains, forests, and watersheds; and in contrast, the domesticated domain of gates and gardens. You will explore the sacred and archetypal bioregional features that are interconnected to the seasonal round of the Wheel of the Year. Modules contain segments that will guide you through quadrated seasonal learnings that will see the particular season as Teacher, the element as Guide, the cardinal direction as your personal Prayer-mat, and explore the Sacred Landscape of your personal bioregion.


  • Wild Seasons offers theological and theoretical teachings around Eco-spirituality, Christian Animism, Sacred Biomimicry, Earth Centered Spirituality, Celtic Spirituality, Watershed Theology, Somatic Ecology, Soul Rewilding, Applied Mythology and the re-enchantment of the world within the Christ tradition as frameworks for this work of recovering our heritage of experiencing the world as an enchanted and holy place. You will be provided with reflection questions and personal application prompts to deepen your experience within the course content, offering you creative challenges to help live the teachings. You will have access to a supportive community where you can discuss course content and join in themed conversations on a private platform with others on the journey.


  • Wild Seasons is a self-paced study, on-demand journey, one to which you can return throughout the whole round of the year and in years to come. See this as a virtual retreat space where you can tap in to ground into the mysteries of the season and come away renewed and refreshed. You can join this offering and begin working with it at any time; you’ll have access to your material for the lifetime of the Teachable website.
