Summary
Since 1980, depth psychologist Bill Plotkin has been guiding women and men into the wilderness - the redrock canyons and snow-crested mountains of the American West - but also into the wilds of the soul. He calls this work soulcraft.
There's a great longing in all people to uncover the secrets and mysteries of our individual lives, to find the unique gift we were born to bring to our communities, and to experience our full membership in the more-than-human world. This journey to soul is a descent into layers of the self, much deeper than personality, a journey meant for each one of us, not just for the heroes and heroines of mythology.
A modern handbook for the journey, Soulcraft is not an imitation of indigenous ways, but a contemporary nature-based approach born from wilderness experience, the traditions of Western culture, and the cross-cultural heritage of all humanity. Filled with stories, poems, and guidelines, Soulcraft introduces over 40 practices that facilitate the descent to soul, including dreamwork, wilderness vision fasts, talking across the species boundaries, council, self-designed ceremony, nature-based shadow work, and the arts of romance, being lost, and storytelling.

Amazing book, not as good reader
I loved this book but I have to admit I find the voice tricky to come to terms with. There is so little emotion or creative performance.

book of the year !
this book changed my life when I read it, stuck in the doldrums and looking for some understanding of the deep yearning I felt for a richer, more purposeful life....
I am more alive now nearing 50 than ever before ..more connected to myself, my reason for being alive and to life on earth..thank-you bill plottkin and geneen haughan who helped him craft this wonder.

Bill's ode to himself
This read like a slightly nauseating and indulgent ode to the authors personal path and story trying very hard to disguise itself as a guidebook. It's relatively devoid of practical and actionable suggestions. It's also very repetitive. A trek into the wilderness with old bill might be lovely but his writing is sadly not

Good book, not so good narration
Loved the book and the stories shared in it. Didn't enjoy the narration, could have been done with more involvement.

Thoroughly recommended title
The narrator wasn't the best for me in this audible title which is a shame because the content is exactly what I have an interest in and I took away several key points.
There could be key things I have missed due to the narration.

Soulful guide
Soulcraft is a soulful and essential guide to the field of depth ecology and for inner transformation in the wild. I was particularly touched by the stories of his workshop participants out in the wild which I assume was through Animas Institute. Thank you very much for the audiobook. The narrator did very well. I look forward to Wild Mind.

Every human needs to understand these concepts
Especially parents… so we can make for more soul -centred children. I love Bill Plotkins work and this is probably his most accessible and life changing work. The narration is fine, if lacking a little emotion.

To ascend we need to descend
In current spirituality there seems to be an overemphasis on ascending. Breaking free from the highs and lows of our human everyday lives. Bill Plotkin offers a counterpart to spiritual ascent, soul descent. As every positive pole needs a negative, so ascent needs descent. He masterfully weaves intimate and personal stories to illustrate how and why we all should seek out soul initiation and why the underworld journey is important to all seeking their true path and unearthing their gift to the world.
