Join Francis Weller, renowned psychotherapist, soul activist, and author of The Wild Edge of Sorrow, for an illuminating conversation celebrating the release of his new workbook Entering the Healing Ground, alongside In the Absence of the Ordinary: Soul Work for Times of Uncertainty and the anniversary hardcover edition of his modern classic The Wild Edge of Sorrow.

In his inimitable voice, Weller offers soulful guidance for navigating our era of upheaval and transformation. Framing these times as a collective initiation, he invites us to reorient our ways of thinking, being, and relating—to find meaning, beauty, and belonging even amid uncertainty. Through reflections on grief, gratitude, and sacred transition, In the Absence of the Ordinary and Entering the Healing Ground offer practices and insights that help restore our connection to the animate world and renew faith in the depth of the human soul.

“It blew me away. I underlined things on nearly every page.”

—Anderson Cooper

“Come on down to the river. Pull up a log. Lean into the fire. Francis is here, casting spells and opening a hidden door to the animate underworld.”

—Bill Plotkin

“What Weller invites us to embrace in the ‘Long Dark’ is not our valour and virtues so much as our colossal loss and grief.”

—Joanna Macy
