Nature based soul initiation
Wilderness rites of passage
Nurturing cultural artistry and visionary leadership
Soulcraft™ Australia & New Zealand offers programs and training inspired by the soulcentric work of the Animas Valley Institute of Colorado, USA.
Founded in 1980, the Animas Valley Institute (AVI) has created and continues to evolve a contemporary Western, nature-based approach to the journey of soul initiation, drawing inspiration from modern depth psychology, nature-based cultures, wilderness rites of passage and the poetic tradition - to our knowledge, the first of its kind.

Our Mission
We invite people into deep relationship with the mysteries of psyche, soul and Earth, to help them inhabit their unique place in the web of life. We offer wild immersions and community gatherings to guide and support those on the path of soul initiation, so they can bring their gifts in service to our Earth community.
