Product Description
Lapis Magazine On-line
" ... a rich digest of Plotkin’s years of experience as a psychologist and wilderness guide, ... a Baedeker to self-discovery."
Book Description
Charting a course through the underworld pathways with the heart of a shaman, mapping the powers of myth and psyche with all the soul and interpretive skill of Jung or Campbell, Plotkin's guide to the journey of initiation is to nature-based soulwork what Huxley's Doors of Perception was to consciousness studies. This book is an immense treasure that will provide wisdomseekers, psychologists, shamanic practitioners, and seasoned wilderness guides alike with a fresh heart-opening soul language, a new mythos for fathoming the depths of change, as well as time-tested practical methods for navigating the landscape of authentic transformation. In essence, Soulcraft is Plotkin's "soul gift," a user's manual for the journey of the human soul, as well as a guide to the futurescape of why we are all really here. It is required reading for anyone guiding other people in soulwork, or delving deep into their own. As philosopher Parker Palmer has said, "The way to God is down." Plotkin shows the way.

The book is poetic and a very practical guide to soul work. It has had massive impact on my lie and I recommend it to all who are starting their journey.

Format:Paperback
In a society that appears to have no further goal than its own survival, questioning the purpose and meaning of our individual lives is certainly no bad thing. But the author actually counsels against discussing our 'soul journey' with other people because 'others might respond with derision or envy. ... worse is being killed politely by a half smile, a how nice, or a change in topic'. Strange for a book that claims to want to re-engage the individual with the community to advise the reader not to speak to anyone. 'To talk about your vision before you have solidly enacted it may undermine your resolve to make it real', Bill advises. Umh, really.
Not questioning somebody or have to respond to questioning is entirely sensible for a vision built on ecstatic connection rather than rational reflection. After all, how do you explain to someone that you are part of nature and you belong to the universe? They might ask some difficult questions - like how are you connected, is there an invisible thread? This isnt to say that we're not part of something outside ourselves. Of course we're all part of something - its called human society. Reflecting on this ought to be the starting point to the discovery of any meaningful life. It is perhaps worth remembering that the tool of human communication - language - is what really seperated us from nature and began the story of human civilization (see Helen Guldberg's More Than Just An Ape). Perhaps the question we need to ask ourselves is do we want to live like animals or stand up and live like men?
