What is the Imaginal Trackers Institute?
ITI offers unique courses and workshops in Ecology,
Spirituality and the Arts. ITI’s purpose is to reconnect
participants with the natural world through the language
of art, a language that communicates our interrelationship
with all forms of life.
Who can benefit from this program?
ITI courses and workshops offer an ideal supportive and
deepening practice for any person, group or organization
wishing to develop their creative capacity in a sacred
natural context. Our courses and workshops have been
attended by educators, psychologists, business leaders,
clergy, and healthcare professionals as well as artists and
expressive arts therapists.
What is Imaginal Tracking?
We call ourselves “Imaginal Trackers”to indicate our dual
commitment to the ecological concerns of the external
world and to the spiritual concerns of the inner world.
Like those who follow the elusive tracks of animals, we
set our sights on tracing the mysterious wanderings of
our imaginations, confident that they are leading us to
greater communion with other people, other animals, the
elements, and our own spirits.
Our tracking tools are art-based experiences that
invite us into a place of expansive wonder and
skillful discernment.
