Wild Soul Apprenticeship

David Whyte writes: “apprentice yourself to yourself”. And what is your Self? Your self is porous to the world and is only known in relationship with the world. When you apprentice to your Self, you apprentice to the web of life itself.

Your wild soul might be calling if:

  • You long to deepen into your inner life, to live a deeply authentic and meaningful life, in relationship with your kin and with the beautiful, wild world

  • You long to know your unique way of belonging and contributing to this precious web of life - with a path that is adapted to your uniqueness

  • You want to connect with your innermost knowing through expanded portals of perception

  • You feel unfulfilled, stuck, lost or caught in the the survival dance and want to find a joyful, meaningful path that is your own

  • You feel it is time to step into your deepest truth and give the gifts that only you can give the world

There is only one question: how to love this world.

- Mary Oliver

This is the first, wildest and wisest thing I know, that the soul exists, and that it is built entirely out of attentiveness.

  • Anahata’s Wild Soul immersion had a profound and transformational impact on my sense of self and belonging in the world. I feel embodied, alive, connected and bursting with possibility. It is deeply healing and mystical work for anyone called to connect through Soul. 

    - Amy Islip, Wild Soul Immersion (group online) 2025

  • The Wild Soul immersion was a gentle and potent container where I was able to explore the multidimensional layers of my soul and being. I am so grateful for the practices, and the insights I have gained throughout the past six months. I can see myself more clearly and have found a deeper level of self-love and acceptance of my limitations, gifts and humanity.

    The profundity of this work is that every level of practice and realisation was something I could embody and integrate into my life in real-time. I greatly appreciate this grounded approach to transformational work such as this, as it allows for the opportunity to be with all the different pieces and parts of myself in a gentle (yet powerful) way.

    Thank you Anahata for this exquisite experience.

    - Dina Smirnova, Wild Soul Immersion (group online) 2025

  • This immersion and the group were important and vital as a vehicle for me to not only follow the thread of my vision of the land but to move into it more fully and in a deeper way. It materially moved me from one way of making money into the beginnings of another. It's not fully formed yet but I'm being held at the moment and that is enough.

    I want to also express how seen I felt with you…I really appreciate the threads of practices that you have given me to pick up, as I feel to. This course was very important to me and my practice. What you do, from my perspective, is good, vital, necessary and so so valuable. 

    My heartfelt gratitude for you and your work.

    Damon Brearly Wild Soul Immersion (group online) 2025

  • I find it difficult to describe what soul work is but, for me, it has been a critical missing piece as I journey through the deep grief, pain and challenges of life. It is the flip side of the spiritual work I have been undertaking for years now - rather than an ascension to Spirit, it is a descent to Soul but with just as much comfort and trust that spiritual work can provide. Anahata provides guidance and support in the most gentle, patient, non-judgemental and accepting way. The image I receive when I feel into my heart is of Anahata walking beside me in the dark holding the torch low. The torch is not shining far ahead, only to my next step. I realise that each of us is walking our soul path, one step at a time, and Anahata is there beside us holding the torch to help us see the very next step through all that she offers.

    You will not be disappointed with this work. It is truly magical.

    — Lara, Wild Soul Immersion 2022, Soul Mentoring & the Wild Heart Wild Soul Retreat 2024

  • I feel deep gratitude for Anahata’s willingness to fully immerse herself in MY journey.

    Her wisdom is effortless, her welcoming soul and open heart is abundant, she is succinct, intelligent, patient and graceful. A true wise woman.
