Post Description

Wild Mind: Our human psyches possess astonishing resources that wait within us, but we might not even know they exist until we discover 
how to access them and cultivate their powers, their untapped potentials and depths. Wild Mind identifies these resources — which Bill Plotkin
calls the four facets of the Self, or the four dimensions of our innate human wholeness — and also the four sets of fragmented or wounded 
subpersonalities that form during childhood. Rather than proposing ways to eliminate our subpersonalities (which is not possible) or to beat them
into submission, Plotkin describes how to cultivate the four facets of the Self and discover the gifts of our subpersonalities. The key to reclaiming 
our original wholeness is not merely to suppress psychological symptoms, recover from addictions and trauma, or manage stress but rather to fully
embody our multifaceted wild minds, commit ourselves to the largest, soul-infused story we're capable of living, and serve the greater Earth community. 

Soulcraft: Since 1980, depth psychologist Bill Plotkin has been guiding women and men into the wildernessthe redrock canyons and snow-crested
mountains of the American Westbut also into the wilds of the soul. He calls this worksoulcraft.There’'s a great longing in all people to uncover
the secrets and mysteries of our individual lives, to find the unique gift we were born to bring to our communities, and to experience our full
membership in the more-than-human world. This journey to soul is a descent into layers of the self much deeper than personality, a journey meant 
for each one of us, not just for the heroes and heroines of mythology. A modern handbook for the journey, Soulcraft is not an imitation of indigenous 
ways, but a contemporary nature-based approach born from wilderness experience, the traditions of Western culture, and the cross-cultural heritage 
of all humanity. Filled with stories, poems, and guidelines, Soulcraft introduces over 40 practices that facilitate the descent to soul, including 
dreamwork, wilderness vision fasts, talking across the species boundaries, council, self-designed ceremony, nature-based shadow work, and the arts 
of romance, being lost, and storytelling.

Nature and the Human Soul: Addressing the pervasive longing for meaning and fulfillment in this time of crisis, Nature and the Human Soul introduces 
a visionary ecopsychology of human development that reveals how fully and creatively we can mature when soul and wild nature guide us. Depth
psychologist and wilderness guide Bill Plotkin presents a model for a human life span rooted in the cycles and qualities of the natural world,
a blueprint for individual development that ultimately yields a strategy for cultural transformation. If it is true, as Plotkin and others observe, that we 
live in a culture dominated by adolescent habits and desires, then the enduring societal changes we so desperately need won't happen until we
individually and collectively evolve into an engaged, authentic adulthood. With evocative language and personal stories, including those of elders 
Thomas Berry and Joanna Macy, this book defines eight stages of human life - Innocent, Explorer, Thespian, Wanderer, Soul Apprentice, Artisan,
Master, and Sage - and describes the challenges and benefits of each. Plotkin offers a way of progressing from our current egocentric, aggressively 
competitive, consumer society to an ecocentric, soul-based one that is sustainable, cooperative, and compassionate. At once a primer on human
development and a manifesto for change, Nature and the Human Soul fashions a template for a more mature, fulfilling, and purposeful life - and a better world.
