The Call of the Steppe

Steppe and Soul offers sacred journeys into the heart of Mongolia — a land of vast skies, ancestral wisdom, and deep connection with the natural world. These are pilgrimages of cultural and wilderness immersion, of deep inner exploration and transformation. You’ll walk in ceremony, sit with shamans and lamas and breathe in wild silence as you are witnessed by the land.

Each journey is guided by somatic wisdom and intimate relationships with some of the most gifted spiritual teachers, artists, movement-makers and guides in the country.

For over 20 years, I’ve walked in deep relationship with Mongolia’s land and people. From studying abroad there in 2006, to a Fulbright Fellowship in 2008, to working on a National Geographic documentary about wolves, to two decades of collaboration with shamans, artists, and LGBTQIA+ leaders, my work is rooted in reverence, reciprocity, and right relationship.
