£10.00 £15.00

In this conversation with Bill Plotkin, we explore maps and tools that support the development of mature adults and genuine elders who are capable of long-term stewardship, ecological thinking, intergenerational responsibility, and the kind of grounded authority that does not depend on performance or validation. Bill lays out the important distinction between healing and wholing, which is at the core of Animas Valley Institute’s philosophy and approach.

Bill Plotkin on the connection between the Human Soul and Ecological Niches.

Full Description

Many organisations talk about resilience and systems change, but hardly anyone asks whether we are growing the kind of human beings capable of stewarding the future well.

The future will not be shaped by better plans, but by who we are whilst making them. Transformation at the systems level requires transformation at the human level.  If we change the system without changing ourselves, the old patterns and habits will gradually rebuild it. Likewise if we only change ourselves, there is nothing in our environment that supports that change and the old habits are needed to navigate the outer realities.

Bill Plotkin’s work offers a framework for understanding the realms of human development that support regenerative leadership and cultural evolution.

In the culture of Modernity, “growing up” often means becoming functional, productive, and socially acceptable. Bill suggests that this version of adulthood is a form of adaptation to a world that is unraveling.

Bill Plotkin is a depth psychologist and founder of Animas Valley Institute and author of Wild Mind, Soulcraft,Nature and the Human Soul, and The Journey of Soul Initiation. His nature-based maps of human development have become a touchstone for many people trying to live with integrity inside a collapsing worldview.
