a membership for mythic + archetypal classes, inner territory journeys, and animist rhythms
When living out of sync, I felt:
❌ isolated and heavy with burdensome individualism
❌ rigid and brittle from too much time spent without changing
❌ disconnection from the living world
❌ loss of access points to the vast, expansive inner territory (in some cases known as soul loss)
❌ the pressure of performative goodness that needs sterile purity to stay intact, losing connection with the soil of aliveness
❌ stuck in a cycle of trading away the erotic lifeforce for what Audre Lorde defines as patriarchy’s flimsy photocopy
Living in communal, earth-paced rhythm, I feel like I’m:
🌱 nurturing aliveness
🌱 returning to natural, seasonal life cycles
🌱 laying down weapons of shame and picking up tools of transformation, divestment from inherited contracts, and slow, cyclical inner maplines
🌱 restimulating memory of belonging to the living web of the larger whole
🌱 giving up the hollow need to be perceived as ‘good’
🌱 together creating interdependent matriarchal circles as we dismantle hierarchical, patriarchal ladders
Wild Soul is where the slow, delicate work of integrating mythic, archetypal, Third Way, and ancestral ritual into our lives takes place. We divest from the urgency of whiteness here, from performative extractivism. Here, we embody earth pace as Natalie Stoemmer teaches in the Green Guides module of the Inner Territory Guide Training. “The pace at which ecosystems, seasons, nervous systems, and relationships move.”
The Rhythms of Wild Soul
Choose a pathway to take through the library of classes and Journeys woven together in a web that never ends, just keeps finding new red threads to follow.
Draw from writing and journaling prompts to deepen your relationship with your inner territory.
Learn ritual and oracular tools to anchor your week in an evolving earth-pace.
Use the new Inner Territory Planner to chart your inner maplines.
Use the Inner Territory calendar to change the way you carry your life and responsibilities. Weave in regular practices, communal gatherings, and rituals to slow your pace, return to natural rhythms, and grow your relationship with your own complex soul system and its integration with the larger whole.
Book club, inner territory journeys, writing and journal prompts, mythic + archetypal classes, oracular tools, a return to ancestral ritual, the new printalbe Inner Territory Planner, and more.
Move cyclically within a Third Way, taking seasons of rest and seasons of deep-dive work. This is where we weave a long collective story of reintegration to the larger whole, deeper responsibility to one another and to the living world, and a restimulated memory of the Inner Territory.
Together we orient our living rhythms around seasons, moon phases, and collective influences. Choose a seasonal path through the library of over 100 classes and journeys or join the communal mapline through a season. This involves a mythic, archetypal guide walking with us through story, ritual, pacing, journeys, and more.
Wild Soul is an application based membership. This process is one of the ways we honor the vulnerability of our members and the deep nature of our work together.

FAQs
Do I have to have experience with inner territory work to join?
1
Nope! Wild Soul is where we develop these living rhythms together. You do not have to have ever taken an inner territory journey or even really know what it is to join. Come learn with us.
What is an inner territory journey?
2
Traditions all over the world involve an understanding of the soul as an inner realm and/or of the person as not just one thing but many, many parts. An inner territory journey is a guided meditation into the inner realm where we meet with, soothe, repair, or help reorient those parts of Self, as well as work within story. We create what we call ‘maplines,’ ways to move through the inner territory slowly, delicately, gently, and with consent. The guide does not do the work for you or even insist you follow them the entire time. These journeys help you learn how to follow your most vital and necessary guide - your own intuition.
Am I required to be in every gathering?
3
Not at all. Some people join Wild Soul only to use the library of recordings. We center your agency, personal pace, and consent over everything else. You can come to any gathering or none at all. I will say that a good portion of the magic in this space happens within those gatherings and inside our private group chat. Choose your level of engagement without guilt or expectation. We’re just glad you’re here.
Can I cancel at any time?
4
It’s really important to all of us that everyone is only where they’re meant to be, where they’re aligned and well-fed. If at any point you decide Wild Soul isn’t that for you, you can cancel without any hoops to jump through. The door will stay open for you if you ever decide its in alignment with you again.
The ecosystems of our inner territories are delicate, intricate, and intimate. They’re thriving with the influences of our own long stories (a term we learned from Perdita Finn), our ancestors, our guides, our deities made from nature, our parts of Self, our past lives, our archetypes, and our inseperable connection to The Great Mother.
Wild Soul has changed my life. From the inner territory work to the deep dive classes on history and mythology, to the most sacredly honoring community I have ever encountered, this collective has opened the way for my soul to expand. What you need is within you; Wild Soul will welcome it home.

Wild Soul has been a great addition to my life. The deconstruction classes have allowed me opportunity to explore questions and topics that have been closed off in my faith journey so far. Stephanie is very clear. She is not here to hand out answers, rather create a space to explore together, ask better questions, even come to different conclusions from each other.
-Paula
Stephanie subtly and intricately held her hand at my back as she gently guided me deep into parts of myself I’d lost site of. She brings a grounded, authentic, and loving presence to a deep healing process that could be sticky on your own. You are always the boss of you, she just illuminates some the terrain you already have inside you and gently walks beside you while you take in and release the energies that need to be moved.
-Heather
The invitation into Self is a wild one, a primal and instinctive summoning. It requires doorways constructed from self-compassion and sacred curiosity. The realms of Soul ask one thing of us all: if you travel over this threshold, be willing to come whole.
