The Art of Embodied Awakening

Movement, Nature & Archetypes as Pathways to Presence and Belonging


With Eline Kieft, PhD

“Wake up to wonder in your extra-ordinary everyday life.”

A Different Way to Live in Your Body

Wild Soul awakens or strengthens what you already carry deep within: your body’s intelligence, the cycles of nature and the mysterious spark of energy that animates all life.

In these fast and fragmented times, many of us long to feel whole again. We may feel cut off from our own bodies and inner life, overwhelmed by constant demands or puzzled by relationships.

Wild Soul is all about reconnection: to yourself, others and the world around you in a meaningful way. It doesn’t ask you to abandon modern life but gives you tools to move with it differently: to find rhythm instead of rush, breath instead of burnout, expression instead of suppression.

This unique and contemporary approach is both a remedy and a way of life, a philosophy as well as a spirituality.

You'll find simple and grounded practices like:

  • Movement to restore vitality, clarity and joy

  • Nature to ground and guide you in life’s cycles

  • Energy work to release stress and focus your resources

Did you know I wrote a book?

Dancing in the Muddy Temple: A Moving Spirituality of Land and Body is a heartfelt exploration of embodied spirituality, grounded in movement, nature, and story.

"In a time when the planet is hurting, we are given a book as medicine—a medicine for dreamers and dancers, scholars and seekers, philosophers and artists, but most of all, an embodied spirituality and an embodied scholarship that dances. This is nothing less than an exquisite offering to the world."
