Publisher's Summary
Since 1980, depth psychologist Bill Plotkin has been guiding women and men into the wilderness - the redrock canyons and snow-crested mountains of the American West - but also into the wilds of the soul. He calls this work soulcraft.
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.

Great multi faceted insight into connection with self and nature
The book is full of great examples, insights, stories, practises and literature.
Rich in deep psychology this book will be a go to guide for any one wanting more understanding to the nature of the soul and how to facilitate ways of being/becoming more connected with that element of which is mystified and subtle. A bedside go to for the naturalist, the seeker and any one from all walks of life. It’s never too late to pick this book up and journey into yourself with the guidance of some of the practise Bill offers.
The reader is clear and very articulated.

Comment
The book is extraordinary it has the propensity to change the direction of your life. The only thing for me is that I really dislike the voice of the narrator

Vision quests explained
After listening to this book, I now understand the what, why and how of vision quests. The book also places the ideas into a wider context for those who do not plan a vision quest. Very interesting

Wonderful Insight into Wilderness Solos
I very much enjoyed this book. The subject matter centers around the experience of going into a wildnerness solo - just you and nature - no food - for a few days and the incredible changes that it can bring to your spiritual and personal life. I read it as I was about to do my own wilderness solo/vision quest and I found it informative but also a rich spiritual story around man's relationships with nature and his deeper, more wild self. Fantastic information for people looking to do a vision quest but just as wonderful to listen to if you want to get back out into nature and refind your peace and purpose.
The only downside was the narration - I found the strange accent of the narrator very offputting - he doesn't pronounce any of his 't's' which is very difficult to listen to - he voice is also somewhat monotonous in places, but it didn't put me off the book or the subject matter.
