Wild Soul Guidance

A Journey of Sacred Eco Connection

Eco-spiritual companionship and coaching honors the sacredness of the natural world, guiding clients to reconnect with nature as a profound source of spiritual wisdom, healing, and inspiration. Sessions delve into the energetic themes of the seasons, exploring the spiritual wisdom of one's place, and nurturing a deep connection with the ecological and mythopoetic story woven within and around the self. In-person practices may include nature walks, meditation in natural settings, or rituals that honor the elements, fostering a deep, embodied connection with the earth.

Wild Soul Guidance is a unique blend of eco-spiritual companionship and spiritual coaching, which guides you to reconnect with the Sacred Wild within and around you. Whether you’re seeking to harmonize your life with the rhythms of the earth, explore new spiritual dimensions, or deepen your connection to your true self, you will be offered a sanctuary for your growth. Discover the power of aligning your spiritual path with the natural world, and step into a life of purpose, balance, and profound inner peace. Let the journey begin

Wild Soul Guidance Offerings

Waymarkers’ Wild Soul Guidance offers two different paths for engagement:

  1. Wild Thresholds: If you are desiring companionship during a season of your life, or coaching as you cross new and remembered thresholds into the wild terrain of your soul, Wild Thresholds, a six-month engagement (minimum) offers monthly 60 minute eco-spiritual companionship and coaching sessions.

  2. Rewild Taproots is a one-time 90 minute deepening session that works well for individuals who are in need of support for a particular situation; who are wanting to consult on a project; or who may need immediate guidance into the wilderness of soul. Read on for the particulars.


Wild Thresholds

Wild Thresholds is for those seeking an anam cara—a soul friend—through a particular life season, a companion to journey with you across the vast terrain of your inner wild soulscape. Drawing on the Celtic understanding of the soul as anam and friendship as cara, this work honors guidance from both the human and wild worlds, recovering sacred wisdom from the natural world as well as your own inner life.

In this container, I companion you through thresholds of transformation, offering teaching and practices rooted in a sacred ecological worldview. Conversational space is held to listen deeply to your soul as a portal to the anima mundi (world soul). Practices may include:

  • Dialectic conversation & soul-reflective dialogue

  • Ceremony, dream work, and seasonal rituals

  • Mythopoetic exploration & Hero/Ione’s Journey framework

  • Nature-based prayers, practices, and eco-spiritual guidance

  • Optional deepening with the Rewilding Wheel sacred practice

Program Details:

  • Complimentary 15-minute introductory call

  • 6 sessions of Wild Soul Guidance (60 minutes each, Zoom or in person)

Woven throughout sessions are threads of…

Ecological Awareness: Clients are encouraged to cultivate a deeper understanding of environmental issues and the impact of their actions on the earth. This eco-spiritual companionship and coaching approach fosters a sense of solidarity and responsibility for the planet, often aligning personal spiritual growth with ecological activism or sustainable living.

Integration of Earth-Centered Practices: Eco-spiritual companionship and coaching may incorporate earth-centered spiritual practices, such as working with the cycles of the moon, the seasons, or the elements. These practices help clients attune to natural rhythms and find balance in their lives.

Healing and Transformation: By exploring the connections between personal healing and the health of the planet, eco-spiritual companionship and coaching supports clients in transformative work that benefits both themselves and the environment. This can involve addressing feelings of ecological grief, finding purpose in environmental advocacy, or healing from the sense of disconnection from nature.

Mind-Body-Earth Connection: Eco-spiritual companionship and coaching recognizes that true well-being involves aligning the mind, body, and spirit with the earth. This holistic approach helps clients achieve greater harmony and resilience by fostering a deep sense of belonging and interconnectedness with the natural world.

Spiritual Ecology: Mary incorporates principles of spiritual ecology, which sees the earth as a living, sacred being. Clients are guided to develop a reciprocal relationship with nature, where spiritual practices are not only about personal enlightenment but also about contributing to the well-being of the earth.

Applied Mythology: Through story telling and story guiding, Mary gently invites archetypal motifs and storied patterns to show up as guides and companions along your journey.

Wild Soul Guidance may be part of your path if…

  • You seek to harmonize your faith tradition with the rhythms and seasons of the natural world, longing for a deeper earth-rooted spirituality.

  • You carry grief for climate change, species loss, and rapidly shifting landscapes—and you’re ready to meet that sorrow with ceremony, ritual, and compassionate companionship.

  • You desire practices that reveal the Sacred within Nature and help you attune to the living world with presence and reverence.

  • You choose to move away from a dominant, colonizing worldview and align your spiritual life with co-sustaining, reciprocal ways of being.

  • You yearn for guided sacred space in Nature—places where healing, coherence, and soulful well-being can unfold in the presence of the Sacred Earth.

  • You feel disconnected from seasons, elements, stories, lunar cycles, or natural phenomena and want support in exploring the wild and creative edges of your life.

  • You long to draw inspiration from Nature for your unique life expression and receive mentorship as your true work takes form.

  • You recognize that your physical health needs a nature-based renewal—an embodied reconnection with the wild world that reawakens your senses.

  • You notice how technology has pulled you out of sync with Earth’s rhythms, and you intend to reclaim an enchanted, awe-filled way of living guided by synchronicity.

  • You are navigating a life transition, loss, or significant threshold and want a compassionate spiritual companion to walk with you through the in-between.

  • You feel called to transform how you engage with the world, cultivating deeper reciprocity with the land and the beings who share it.

Each healing journey is unique, and my approach is always attuned to your specific needs and life season. Drawing from extensive professional training, I offer a rich, integrative toolkit that includes eco-spiritual companionship, eco-therapy, mindfulness, eco-psychology, eco-mysticism, and applied mythology. These modalities work together to support your self-recovery, inner alignment, and spiritual healing.

The heart of this work is a renewed sacred eco-connection—a remembering that the separation between humans and the living world is an illusion. In a time of increasing urbanization and disconnection, this reconnection offers healing, wholeness, and a restored sense of belonging.

Through eco-spiritual companionship and coaching, you are invited to live in deeper harmony with the Sacred Earth, shaping a life that reflects the beauty, wisdom, and holiness of the more-than-human world.

A Note from Mary DeJong

The Role of a Wild Soul Guide

“My work is to serve as an attuning presence to the Sacred within the natural world, partnering with you and the more-than-human beings to interpret and discern the wisdom that resides there. Through deep listening, attuned conversations, guided practices in nature, and exercises that connect you to both your inner and outer worlds, I aim to accompany you on a journey back to a sense of whole and joyful belonging with the earth. I embrace the wild, wonder-filled world as a primary scripture—sacred writings and holy speech gifted to us to live well and flourish alongside the entire assembly of creation. My unique blend of training, practice, and theory makes my guidance and companionship well-suited and respected in this emerging field.

In a Wild Soul Guidance relationship, your personal stories are honored and held within the larger collective context of the more-than-human world, helping to heal the isolation felt by so many as they are re-membered to the whole community of creation. This more-than-human community—Nature, myself as your guide, and you as the guided participant—collaborates to discern the wisdom of the Sacred Wild. There is an understanding that your pain, suffering, beauty, and gifts are intimately connected with this radical immanence. The gifts that emerge through your healing and transformation are essential not only for your personal well-being but also for the well-being of our communities and the hope for a flourishing future for all beings.”

Wild Soul Guidance is akin to sacred eco-therapy or eco-spiritual direction. Wild Soul Guidance is NOT psychotherapy.
