About the 2025 Gathering
The time is now, the call has been heard to meet on these lands together as wilderness guides, to explore how this work is unfolding, where it may be going, and who it is serving. We hope you’ll join us for this wild and beautiful gathering of souls.
Wilderness rites of passage have been growing in these lands for many years, there have been many changes and more energy coming in. It is time to look at how this work is growing, at our relationship to this land, and what wants to emerge over the years ahead. Please join us, bring your experience from here and around the world, to come and gather.
Acknowledging the extraordinary field generated by the coming together of diverse guides, youngers and elders, from all continents of the earth – historically these have constituted ‘landmark life events’ for many attendees; wells of nourishment to drink from, and cairns of power to steer by, for years to come.
This is a 5-day gathering. We will be held by a lightly facilitated structure with spaces for themes and questions to emerge, with space to gather inside and on the land, time to eat together, to come together in wider circles and smaller to share practices, lean into each other to feel nourished, and to make space to listen to old ways and the new. Let’s come together to feed the hearth.
