Mentorship Program
A 12 Month One on One Offering of Accompaniment and Guidance
During this 12 month mentorship program, you will have the opportunity to slow down and deeply listen to your life. Not looking for fixes. Not looking for things that are wrong with you. Not trying to improve yourself. Not trying to reach some kind of ideal or "should" for your life.
​
Instead, you will be invited to practice knowing and holding your life in a different way. We will listen and pay attention to your life as a tender wild creature given into your stewardship.
Through practices like dream tending, active imagination, movement, story telling, ritual, and deep listening, we will carve out time and space to offer deep attention and loving care to your life. We will explore the myths, questions, wounds, longings, and dreams shaping your life.
​
Mary Oliver asked us what we would do with our one wild and precious lives. Here we ask a slightly different version of that beautiful question: What does your one wild and precious life plan on doing with you?
​
This is for you if you want to deepen into the depth and mythic dimensions of your life, learn to care for your life with more ease and friendship, and fall in love with the tender wild creature you are here to take care of.
​

Two Part Video Seminar on Imaginal Ways of Knowing
"Vanya’s teachings have filled up a longing inside of me that I didn’t know I had. Through her courses I’ve learned how to make sense of the subtle realms of archetype, dream, and myth. These ways of knowing are hard to come by in our modern culture, and satiate a deep part of my soul. I feel more whole, now that I’m able to incorporate her teachings into my everyday life and in my work as a counselor."

With this mentorship you will receive:
Private Sessions Every Other Week
In these 90 minute private sessions, we will carve out space for you to slow down and pay close attention to your life. Through conversation, story, imaginal practices, dream tending, and deep listening we will notice the longings, stories, and questions shaping your life. We will cultivate a way of being with your wild life that is generous, true, and full of friendship and care.
One Weekend Intensive
During the course of the 12 months, we will plan a weekend intensive as we listen to what is coming up in your life. Once we have a sense for what is stirring in your life, I'll put together a personalized weekend intensive retreat. We can do this online or in person.
Customized Teachings & Readings
As we listen to your life, I will offer individualized teachings and reading resources for you.
For example, if we notice that you feel drawn to synchronicities, I will focus on some teachings and readings on the topic. Topics can include archetypal theory, individuation, shadow work, ecopsychology, ritual, and much more.
Three Module Dream Tending Course
This program includes a three module dream tending course. You will receive this at the start of the 12 months and you may complete it at your own pace.

"In a time that is so harried with fear and furor, Vanya offers the warmest and most nurturing of spaces. Through story, song, imagination, ritual, intuition and wisdom, Vanya is forever finding a way to invite us all back to ourselves. It is a wordless gift to be in such heart-centric community -- a true haven. To any one that hungers, wonders or wanders, this is for you. "
