We seek to answer a call heard in the voices of people who sit in our circles. Many people express a longing to bring their deep and ceremonial relationship with wild nature into their work lives, homes, relationships and communities. Beyond Our Borders is designed to synthesize the traditions of the School of Lost Borders with spiritual, artistic/creative, personal and professional disciplines and practices.

What is Beyond Our Borders?

Beyond Our Borders integrates ceremonial perspectives into everyday life, work and practices.

Lost Borders teachers and guides offer these programs as a way of ongoing incorporation, going deeper into personal calling and strengthening professional and personal skills. Some programs are designed for experienced School of Lost Borders participants who want to dive further into various aspects of the work and others are for those interested in specific subjects.

They all have the school’s traditions in common: The Four Shields, Solo Time in Nature, Nature as Teacher, and Storytelling and Mirroring.

There is a deep desire in each of us to contribute to the world in some way, to offer our unique gifts, passion, wisdom, and vision for what’s possible with a desire to make a meaningful difference, be it in large or small arenas. This expansive definition of leadership becomes an invitation to each of us to respond to the deeper longing in our soul and lead from the inspiration present there.

And so we are each being called to the role of leadership, whether it be through creating alternative possibilities for our organizations and communities, facilitating transformative processes that enhance our human connection, ushering new ideas and perspectives into the larger culture, responding to an unmet need in the world, or leading our own lives at that of our families in new directions. This type of leadership will settle for nothing less than us bringing our whole selves to the journey -- and that includes our natural rootedness in the sacred Feminine.
