Inner Territory Journey: A Path Older Than Urgency with Rae Monterra
This Inner Territory Journey is an invitation into a slower, older rhythm. A path shaped by weather, animal tracks, green breath, and the small lives moving everywhere beneath the obvious world. Here, urgency can loosen. The part of you still trying to be ready, healed, useful, certain, transformed by morning, can finally feel what it is like to stop performing for the forest.
There is something waiting beneath all the trying.
Solar Plexus Journey
This journey moves through the inner city of gems, a place the soul’s long story carries with it from lifetime to lifetime. Here in the Solar Plexus is a living city, a high seat of intuition and knowing. We move together through its streets to a temple situated in the very center of its glistening structures. There we work within the embodied experience of intuition and its connection to oracular sight.

Astrology As Inner Territory Language with Rae Monterra: How To Read Your Natal Chart
In this class, Rae slowly, comprehensibly teaches us how to read our natal charts, moving bit by bit through a blank chart (download below). They show us astrology as an Inner Territory language, with each placement representative of a part of Self. Not only will you understand the planets, signs, houses, and aspects better by the end of class, but you will also identify and delight in different parts of being you.
Book Studies
Every 6 weeks, we'll introduce a new book to read or listen to as a community. We'll be drawing from a wide range of genres that will include both fiction and nonfiction. You can find the first 6 months of books listed below, and we'll always remind you of upcoming reads at least 2 weeks in advance.
The Landscape of the Subtle Body: The Upper Realms
This class completes the chakra landscape series by moving into the upper three realms: the Throat River, Third Eye Roots, and Crown Web. It explores voice, truth, oracular sight, divine connection, and the subtle body as a living map of relationship. This is a teaching and practice for returning to right relationship with the parts of us that receive, translate, express, and connect us to the larger whole.
River Voice Writing Prompts
Writing prompts culled from the Landscape of the Subtle Body classes. Deepen your Inner Territory work by writing from the Soul of Poetry, not worrying about being ‘technically’ good. Write from the living, rushing, complex river of your voice.
Unraveled: Self Reclamation
This journey moves through the landscape of identity, inherited stories, and the threads that no longer belong to us. It asks us to notice what we are carrying, what was chosen for us, what we may have stitched into ourselves for survival, and what may be ready to loosen. There is tenderness here, but also courage. The energy of Samhain runs through the whole journey, making it feel like a threshold between who we have been and who we are becoming. It offers space to listen to the parts of ourselves that are ready for something different and to trust the wisdom of what wants to stay, what wants to shift, and what is asking to be released.
Sacral Sea Writing Prompts
Writing prompts culled from the Landscape of the Chakras class. Deepen your Inner Territory work by writing from the Soul of Poetry, not worrying about being ‘technically’ good. Write from the churning, dark, alive, cosmic, sacral sea in your soul.
Working with Monsters and Shadows
This class turns us toward our inner monsters and the shadowy parts of our Inner Territories. The sharp, reactive, protective places that learned how to become the weapon so they would never again be prey. Instead of trying to fix or control them, we get closer. We listen. We relate.
The Green Heartwood Writing Prompts
Writing prompts culled from the Landscape of the Heart Chakra class and Journey. Deepen your Inner Territory work by writing from the Soul of Poetry, not worrying about being ‘technically’ good. Write from the green Heartwood in your soul.
The Landscape of the Chakras: The Heart Chakra
This class is heart work that asks something of you. This is not a gentle concept of love. This is the wild, regenerative force that lives in the body and insists on risk, repair, and participation in something larger than the self. The heart here is a bridge between the underworld and the world we return to, where everything we uncovered below begins to reshape how we relate, create, and belong. This class moves through grief, memory, love, and rupture, and invites you to stay open anyway. To feel. To risk again. To let love become something that reorganizes your life and your relationship to the collective
Inner Territory Journey: Root Chakra
This Journey takes us back to the moment a limiting belief first took root. We don’t rush it or override it. We witness the origin story with steadiness, noticing what was formed in response to fear, survival, or misunderstanding. A guide steps in, not to rescue, but to interrupt the old script and shift the trajectory. We stay long enough to feel the belief loosen, to watch the limits begin to melt off the body and psyche. This is reclamation through witnessing. This is manifestation through unbinding.
Writing Prompts: Final Shed of the Year of the Wood Snake
Final Shed is a ritual writing circle held at the edge of a cycle, where we gather inside serpent medicine to name what is ending and consciously release it. Together we write into the cords that still bind us to dying systems, inherited patterns, and the exiles or shadows that surfaced over the year, allowing grief and truth to move without being rushed toward resolution. This class is both communal descent and deliberate severing, a final skin laid down before momentum returns. From that honest ground, we turn toward the Fire Horse and ask what courage, movement, and embodied power we are ready to claim, calling our strength up from the earth and stepping forward changed.
The Landscape of the Chakras: The Lower Three (Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus)
This journey slows us down inside the lower three chakras and lets us really look. Root, sacral, solar plexus. Death. Life. Rebirth. We wander the landscapes of each center and notice what has been stored there, what was cut off, what went quiet, what has been overworking to keep us upright. This is relearning the language of energy and intuition from the inside out. We sit with the density, the heat, the hunger, the numbness, and begin building trust with the parts of us that learned to survive through disconnection. The work here is embodied and steady. It deepens everything that follows.
Inner Territory Journey: The First Mapline
In this Journey we enter the terrain of our first mapline and ask the question - am I asking big enough? We listen for the quietest current of desire and follow it to where our manifestation lives. There we witness its condition with honesty, meeting the old beliefs and protective parts that have kept our longing small. Gently, we begin unpinning what has been lodged in the body and allow this first mapline to breathe again.
Inner Territory Journey: A Vow To Self
This Journey is the best place to start if you’re new to Inner Territory work.
We begin in an inner desert, navigating the chakras as stones we use to build an altar. Clear, steady, and fully alive, we welcome our unique guides and form a vow made to Self.
