Meet Raven Shree
I love maps. Maps of landscapes. Maps of transformation. Maps that help us navigate the mysteries, challenges & adventures of being human.
​
Travel, creativity, nature, and soul exploration have been guiding forces throughout my life, and they continue to shape everything I offer through Wild Soul Wanderings.
For more than three decades, I've been exploring a variety of wisdom traditions and transformational frameworks that help illuminate the path of becoming. Not as abstract concepts, but as living maps that help us navigate life's thresholds, challenges, losses, celebrations, and initiations.
​
One of the first maps that profoundly influenced my evolutionary journey was the Map of the Chakras. I discovered the Chakra System in my mid-20’s and it set me on a profound adventure of healing & connecting with my energetic core of aliveness. I studied with Anodea Judith Ph.D, acclaimed writer and teacher, for 10+ years, studying & teaching her model of the chakras, which has a strong focus on Developmental Psychology. I deepened the integration of these chakras principles into my life with Massage Therapy and Yoga Teacher trainings, which helped me bring the map of the chakras more alive in my Body, Mind & Spirit.
​
The next power map I discovered was the Medicine Wheel. I studied with Bill Plotkin who wrote the amazing book “Nature and the Human Soul”, which maps the core terrain of life as one matures through the wheel of life. I deepened my studies with various teachers from the Animus Institute, and was able to dive deep into the healing and wholeing practices of eco-therapy & nature ceremony. These soul tending practices are deeply ingrained in my life & I enjoy sharing them with others through my work & play in the world.
​
Another adventure map that inspires my Wild Soul Wanderings is the model of the Hero’s Journey. Expressed and lived in all aspects of human storytelling, the map of the Hero’s Journey offers an adventure map through various portals of evolution of self. I enjoy exploring my life through the lens of the Hero’s Journey through immersion in Tarot, Art Journaling, SoulCollage, Fairy Tale Ceremony, and Nature Quests. It's all a magical adventure if we frame it that way!
​
Over time, these pathways began to weave themselves together into a multi-dimensional map that explores and celebrates the varied terrain of life we all travel through teh adventure of being human.
​
Wild Soul Wanderings brings these maps together through creative arts playshops, community gatherings, seasonal ceremonies, retreats & transformational experiences designed to help people reconnect with themselves, deepen their relationship with life, and cultivate greater authenticity, belonging, meaning, and joy.
​
My hope is that the spaces I create offer a place for you to pause, listen deeply, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and remember that your life is a sacred journey; one worthy of your curiosity, courage, creativity, and wholehearted participation.

Corporate America
One of the magical traits spirit gifted me with is the the ability to navigate & shine in multiple worlds.
In addition to workshops & services I offer the private sector through Wild Soul Wanderings, I also work in Corporate America as a Senior Director of Business Development and Director of Learning & Development. In this role I facilitate the expansion of product, the refinement of process, the cultivation of people and the integrity of partnership. My work in this arena offers me opportunity to share my light & develop my soul service on a global level.
​
I am also a member of Toastmasters, an international organization that cultivates speakers & leaders around the world. I am blessed & honored to be able to write and deliver soul infused speeches in Corporate America as part of my career. My corporate work has taught me the value of structure, clarity, and execution. My soul-centered practices have taught me the value of presence, imagination, play & connection. I feel deeply grateful to walk in both worlds and to bring the gifts of each into service of the other.
