Training Course
26 May - 3 June 2025 | Centola, Italy
TCWild Hearts, Wise Souls invites us to reclaim our birthright of wildness—not chaotic, but the deep, grounded essence of a wildflower thriving in harmony with its ecosystem. This journey calls us to embrace this wildness within ourselves and our imagination, responding to the world’s crises with vision and love, and creating from a place of deep knowing and fierce devotion.
Wild Hearts, Wise Souls is a transformative training course rooted in the principles of soul-centric development and wilderness wisdom, proposed by the Italian organization Revolution Hub Aps.
Taking place at Centola, in Italy, this course offers youth workers the skills and knowledge to engage with young people through a heart-centered, soul-centered, and nature-centered approach.
We invite you to embark on a journey where the compass is the Eco-soulcentric Developmental Wheel of the ecopsychologist Bill Plotkin along with the 8 stages of the Human Journey.
The evolutionary process focuses on individual growth. By experiencing and internalizing these practices, participants can integrate them as valuable resources for both personal and professional development while also supporting the growth of others, both youth and adults.
GUIDES OF THE PROGRAM
Alexandra Horea is a human development guide and mentor who invites individuals into intimate conversations with their souls. She supports psycho-spiritual growth, fostering deep connections with nature, metaphor, and self, empowering others to live larger lives and share their gifts with the world. Sandra integrates depth psychology, soul-based practices, eco-centric development, storytelling, poetry, and deep imagination into her work. She graduated from the Wild Mind Program and the SAIP - Soulcraft Apprenticeship and Initiation Program at Bill Plotkin's Animas Valley Institute in the USA, focusing on eco-depth psychology.
Annarita Falanga is a psychologist and travel coach dedicated to guiding individuals in self-discovery while exploring the world. She perceives the world as a living being and an ally in personal and collective evolution, inviting others into this dialogue. Annarita accompanies kindred spirits in Italy, Romania, Morocco, and India, helping them cultivate presence and connect deeply with themselves, others, and nature. As a facilitator of Biodanza (Rolando Toro method) and an apprentice of Bill Plotkin’s Nature-Based Human Development Model, she is continually learning to love herself, this life, and this Earth more intensely and freely.
