> What if Earth is trying to seduce us for her own purposes? What if  
> Earth is dreaming through us, through our own deepest imaginings and  
> allurements? What if the wild child that became the "human potential  
> movement" was seeded by Esalen's cliffs, ocean tides, hot springs,  
> whales, and great trees as much as by the daring, creative humans  
> drawn to this land? What if the wild blossom of your own most soul- 
> rooted life could be pollinated by the exuberant land? As Rilke  
> writes: "Earth, isn't this what you want from us?"
>
> Some places on Earth seem to summon our deepest emotion, expanded  
> imagination, and greatest sense of possibility—both for our  
> individual lives and for the community of all species. By entering  
> the landscape, we enter its imagination, its atmosphere, its story.  
> We are each an expression of the dreaming of Earth.
>
> "At Esalen," the leaders write, "we'll explore what its wild sea,  
> forest, canyons, curious gardens and creatures (human and other)  
> evoke in us, how they animate our day- and night-dreams. Practices  
> we'll use include soul-oriented dreamwork, deep-imagery journeys,  
> council, poetry, trance drumming, and dancing. We'll encourage solo  
> wanderings on the land with Soulcraft tasks designed to feed the  
> mystery of our lives. We will live the question: If Earth is  
> romancing us for her own purposes—very much the way the nectar lust  
> of bees serves the desires of flowers—what wild child, what honey,  
> will we create from this joining?"
>
