Description
Animas Valley Institute, founded in 1980 by wilderness guide and depth psychologist Bill Plotkin, offers multi-day experiential immersions into wild landscapes and the wilds of soul with the goal of discovering the meaning and destiny at the heart of each life. Its mission is to contribute to the generation of healthier and more mature human societies by supporting nature-based, full-spectrum human development—a process the Institute believes is the central and single most important dimension of regenerative culture. Through contemporary wilderness rites, Soulcraft™ practices, and the Animas Vision Quest, the Institute assists people through the initiatory process that leads to visionary leadership and cultural artistry.
