Training "Soulscaping: Wayfinding Into Belonging"  - CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS in Estonia

“Soulscaping: Wayfinding Into Belonging” is a 7-day training course that takes place in the green wilderness of rural Estonia from 13-21st of July 2026.
𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 is the original methodology that combines eco-depth psychology and Campbell’s “Hero’s Journey” to reconnect the inner terrain of psyche to the outer landscapes of the natural world. It was created in collaboration between our organisations - NGO Symbiosis (Estonia) and Monad Mind Foundation (Bulgaria). We piloted it successfully in 2025 in the first experiential intensive in rural Bulgaria. You can find more about it here.
𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗪𝗮𝘆𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 wants to make this methodology more accessible to youth workers and human development guides who are dedicated to make a change in their life and networks. Our intention is to create an experiential container to transfer our knowledge to different groups of people. By introducing Soulscaping we aim to empower individuals to explore greater sense of belonging in the Earth community and bring their indispensable gifts to their local communities.
𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀:
Your Guides for this programme will be Maya Ivanova, Annelies Buggenhout and Helena Pruul. The core-team who developed Soulscaping methodology and team of guides uniquely positioned at the intersection of ecology, depth psychology and wilderness guiding.
Maya Ivanova, a human development guide and a multifaceted creatrix; Annelies Buggenhout, a permaculture teacher and explorer of sacred archetypes; and Helena Pruul, a wilderness guide and community weaver.
