Soul Initiation Guide

I am passionate about this life, here on this Earth, right now, in this time. I grieve and praise both the beauty and the loss, of this exquisite Hologram of Beauty that is our Earth. And though it seems our doing, simultaneously, I trust that we too are part of Earth and their dreaming. We are not separate. We are in perilous times, and it is more important than ever to wake up from the Nightmare that the Modern Over-Culture Paradigm has become and remember ourselves as one who embodies the Dreaming of the Earth.

We long to remember our Wholeness and our Resiliency, remember our relationship with all of life, coming home to Earth, belonging to the More than Human Community. I do not offer the solution to your "problem" - what are often labeled problems, I understand as symptoms of disconnection from the Web of Life and the Trauma of Civilization. Both blessing and curse, they are the place where our gold is buried and shaped. I use all of the tools- physical, energetic and spiritual- I have learned and received, to support you towards wholeness and the building of inner resources in order to reduce your stress level, to learn to love yourself and to stand in your power.  

When you have rooted in your Home-Place on this Earth and remembered the original instructions of being Human- a Beauty maker, in reciprocal ritual relationship with the More than Human World, you may hear the songs of longing for your Soul. I understand Soul as the largest web of relationships you embody from the heart of you, your unique way of loving the world. You might experience it as the longing to know who you are and how you uniquely are medicine for this world. The encounter with our own Soul and embodying her in the world, in service to the Holy in the Wild, is, I believe, the single most powerful way to make change in our world. It is the way of creating a Earth centered, wilderness honoring, healthy community of elders and initiated people to support those in adolescence and childhood to walk their singular Soul Path of Beauty to their own Soul-Place.

 

I am a Soul Initiation Guide, which means, it is my sacred work to guide you on the Journey to Soul, to descend into the Underworld of your own Psyche, wander on the Wild Earth, travel to the home of the Gods and Goddesses and the forces of the wild, where your Soul waits for you. She is singing the song of your own heart, courting you, enticing you into the deeps, asking you to give up the old life that you have known and which no longer serves you. One of my gifts is to heal the Golden Web of Life, as it manifests within your Soulbody, your energy-body and in the Earthbody at the node on the Web where these intersect, into the past and out of the future, within the multiverse. I invite you to radically change your perspective, traveling through wild lands, through Dream, Deep Imagination Journeys, courageously meeting your Shadow and your Muse, your unique creativity. It is your original path, as David Whyte says, to the Image at the center of the Truth you were born with.

About Sara

Sara McFarland is an improvisational nature-based singer, SoulStoryteller and performance artist, naturopath, ritualist, wilderness guide and mentor. She is a Wild Mind and Soul Initiation Guide for Animas Valley Institute (www.animas.org)
 
Sara travels the Hologram of the Golden Web of Life in many ways, one, in particular, is through listening to the melodies that Earth and the Ancestors sing through her. She is currently working on her first Album, Singing over the Bones, which blends improvisational vocals, songs, nature sounds, frame drum, flute and the gifts of other musicians to create a Web of music that heals, even as it cracks us open to the truth of these times. Another is her uncanny ability for shapeshifting and storytelling that the Big Stories demand of her as they come roaring or weaving through her body and heart. She has opened A Place for Myth and Music to make a sacred space for these most ancient of human practices - song and story - to be celebrated in Ritual Theater. In the future, she will be inviting guests and colleagues, troublemakers and tricksters into this space to play, keen, inspire and celebrate together.
As a guide, Sara welcomes Humans of all genders, sexual orientation, colors, race, and every other "identifying characteristic" with honesty and curiosity, devotion and loving fierceness in service to Soul. She is a queer both/and creature who is not afraid to visit the dungeons or heavens, closets or wild forests with you. She assists you on your Soul Path, to discover your unique and interwoven essence. Along the way, you will be supported to heal the trauma of civilization and developmental trauma through Sacred Wound Alchemy and practices of coming home and belonging to Earth Community. Sara works with individuals who long to know who they truly are, to take their place in the Golden Web of Life, bringing all of their gifts, powers and abilities to the people and in service to Earth, through the process of Soul Initiation. In her guiding, both one on one and in groups, she utilizes elements of energy medicine and ritual techniques, sound and voice, Dream work, Deep Imagery, herbal spirit medicine, Wild Mind and the 4 feminine Archetypes of the Labyrinth Path.
 
Sara spends her time apprenticing in Reciprocal Ritual Relationship with the Holy in the Wild and following the whispers of her Muse and guided by her own Soul's holographic, crazy Wisdom and Beauty. She bridges the distance between the ancient ritual practices of being in conversation with the wild Earth and the More than Humans and the creation of a future paradigm of human culture which embodies the Dream of the Earth. Her work is dedicated to the humans and Earth community in 500 years time.
