Biographical Info
Rachel Lovie PhD is a School of Lost Borders-trained rites-of-passage guide. Obsidian: Paths with Heart is an organisation based in the UK and Southern France, providing workshops and residential programmes including Vision Fasts, trainings, and coaching for personal and professional development.
Our courses provide opportunities to expand perception, deepen empathy and compassion for self and others; to awaken to our gifts and bring them home to our people. We acknowledge and honour the joy and suffering of our lives, learning how to transform our life experiences into new stories of hope, beauty and action in the world.
Our residential programmes are set in a unique forested river valley system in southern France, known locally as the “pays de rêves”, land of dreams. Whilst not a wilderness as such, it is a place of wild spaces and species, where the cycles of the natural world, from the fecundity of life and growth through to death and decay, are evident everywhere. A landscape of abundant flora and fauna, it is a place highly conducive to contemplation and in evoking reconnection with the wild natural spaces within ourselves.
Obsidian: Paths with Heart, was founded by Dr Rachel Lovie, facilitator and creative, whose PhD: Paths with Heart: Transformative Journeys in the Imaginal Realm, focuses on eliciting many ways of knowing in developmental and potentially transformative processes.
