COURSE: CORDULA FREI — DEEP ECOLOGY: REWILDING THE SOUL
This journey is an invitation into regeneration as a lived, embodied practice — not as a concept, not as a method to optimize life, but as a return to the deeper rhythms that sustain both human beings and the living world. The work unfolds slowly, relationally, and with respect for the nervous system, the body, and the many layers of inner experience that have often been overused, silenced, or forgotten in modern life.
Rewilding the Soul is offered as a continuous field rather than a fixed program. Participants are invited to commit for at least six months, allowing enough time for patterns of exhaustion, over-adaptation, and mental overdrive to soften and reorganize. Once a month, we gather for a live online teaching session on Sundays, creating a shared space of inquiry into deep ecology, regeneration, ritual, and embodied knowing. These sessions are accompanied by a digital campfire community that allows for ongoing connection, reflection, and integration between meetings. Recordings are available for those who cannot attend live, and participants may choose to engage in an optional buddy system for mutual support and deeper exploration.
For those who feel called into more direct, embodied work, the journey can be expanded through monthly in-person immersions with horses and on the land in Alsace, near Basel. These gatherings take place on the first Saturday (or appointed individually) of each month and invite participants into practices of sensing, grounding, and remembering through direct relationship with animals, landscape, and seasonal rhythms. The work with horses is not technique-driven but relational, offering a powerful mirror for nervous system regulation, presence, and inner truth. Accommodation is possible nearby in Alsace, approximately ten kilometers from Mulhouse Airport, and can be arranged individually. Short term and deep dive -stays for up to 3 weeks can be arranged. Airbnb and lodging on place is welcomed.
An even deeper level of engagement is available for those who wish to place regeneration at the center of their life and work. This path includes all digital and on-place elements, as well as an optional monthly three-hour online deep-dive session for integration, reflection, and sustained inquiry. These extended sessions allow space for questions, inner process, and the weaving together of insight, embodiment, and lived application.
Alongside the group journey, individual mentoring sessions are available for those seeking focused, personal accompaniment. These ninety-minute sessions offer a protected space for orientation, integration, and deep inner work, and can stand alone or complement the group process.
Price: 180 € per 90-minute individual session.
In addition, a monthly circle dedicated to Voice Dialogue and inner expansion is offered on the last Sunday of each month, facilitated together with Nadja Lind and Helmut Ebritsch. This work explores the inner constellation of selves — protectors, creators, saboteurs, and sages — not in order to fix or overcome them, but to listen, relate, and reclaim their gifts. Energy work, deep embodiment, and altered-state technologies support this process, creating a sacred laboratory for conscious evolution and inner alchemy.

Participation is offered in a spirit of integrity and trust. A limited number of solidarity places are available for those engaged in care work, community holding, or living through financial constraint. Participants are invited to choose the level of contribution that reflects both their means and their commitment, honoring regeneration as a shared cultural responsibility rather than a luxury.
This work is guided by Cordula Frei, author, editor, and curator, whose life and writing are devoted to integrative practices, deep ecology, and transformative narratives. Living between land, animals, language, and community, her work bridges neuroscience, ritual, ecology, and inner experience, inviting a remembrance of what it means to live as part of a living world.
Rewilding the Soul is not about retreating from the world. It is about returning to it — with a regulated nervous system, a listening body, and a renewed capacity to care, create, and contribute without burning out. It is an invitation to remember that regeneration is not something we add to life later, but something life itself requires in order to continue.

About your facilitators
Cordula Frei is not simply a teacher — she is a guide through the thresholds of inner and outer transformation, one whose life reflects the very themes at the heart of Deep Ecology – Rewilding the Soul. She lives at the intersection of culture, land, embodiment and consciousness, moving fluidly between landscapes and ways of knowing. Based in the forests of the Southern Black Forest and the Vosges, with her horses and dogs as ongoing companions, she embodies a life that is relational with the land, rather than extractive from it. This lived alchemy — the weaving of inner inquiry with outer field‑work — is the foundation of her role as an educator and facilitator.
Cordula’s scholarly and creative work is deeply rooted in embodied consciousness and integrative practice. She has authored several books that explore the interplay between psyche and body, nature and narrative, including Soulskin, a journey through embodied consciousness and evolutionary stages of the self, and her forthcoming Wild & Wunderbar — written in dialogue with women in midlife about exhaustion, regeneration, embodied wisdom, and the reconnection of body and earth. Her writing is informed by both personal experience and scientific perspectives, bringing together neuroscience, ritual, ecology, myth and embodiment in a way that resonates with contemporary human experience.
As a long‑term editorial leader and curator, Cordula has shaped integrally oriented discourse across media: she has worked as a redactor for Integrale Perspektiven, Info3 Magazin, Achronon Magazin and Parallax Medien, bringing whole‑systems thinking and deep ecological awareness into public conversation. She also led the Integrale Akademie of the Integrales Forum, where she helped create spaces for dialogue that bridge inner worlds and collective meaning.
Her work is in direct conversation with thinkers like Jean Gebser, whose idea of mutation — a discontinuous leap in structures of consciousness rather than a gradual evolutionary “progress” — provides a conceptual home for the kind of qualitative, integrative shifts this course invites. Gebser observed that the predominant mental‑rational structure of consciousness — long the dominant cultural paradigm — has reached its limit and requires integration with deeper, earlier layers of consciousness (mythic, magical, archaic) to move toward an integral, embodied mode of presence. This is precisely the ground Rewilding the Soul explores: reclaiming the ecological self, listening with the body, and regenerating the rhythms that sustain life.
In addition to her writing and editorial impact, Cordula is an international Senior teacher of Voice Dialogue, an approach from integrative psychology that works with the multiplicity of inner selves (parts, protectors, creativity voices, saboteurs) not to suppress or fix them, but to dialogue, listen and integrate them — an essential skill for re‑inhabiting one’s inner landscape. She brings this depth psychology into her facilitation with a 30 year long experience, collaborative practice and presence‑based holding, helping participants develop self‑leadership, resilience and inner coherence in ways that complement the ecological and somatic aspects of the work.
What distinguishes Cordula as a host is her ability to hold multiple dimensions of transformation at once: the ecological, the psychological, the somatic, the cultural and the spiritual. She situates Rewilding the Soul not as a retreat from the world, but as an ethical and ecological return to life, where nervous system regulation, ritual practice, deep ecology and inner multiplicity are coordinated into a coherent, lived experience of embodied regeneration. Her teaching is not just about encountering nature; it is about being with nature as an active partner in human becoming, and guiding others through the threshold where collapse of an old consciousness (mental‑rational dominance) becomes the entry point for a richer, integrated way of life.
In this way, Cordula stands in a lineage of transformative educators — those who work not merely with information, but with experience, presence, and relational attunement — making her a deeply resonant and effective host for this regenerative journey.
