Stephanie MacKay is a mentor, soul-guide, and mythologist who has been devoted to the path of cultural and ecological renewal for over 15 years. A fifth-generation settler currently living on the unceded territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation, she is nourished by wild landscapes, ancestral knowledge, myth, and the deep remembering that happens in community.

Stephanie is the founder of Myth Club and the founding director of Fianna Wilderness School. Her work weaves earth-based skills, rites of passage, dreamwork, traumainformed facilitation, and soulcentric practices into spaces that support healing, belonging, and reconnection—with self, others, and the more-than-human world.

She holds a degree in literature and has trained extensively with the Animas Valley Institute, Haven Institute, Tracker School, and Wilderness Awareness School. For over a decade, she studied with Martín Prechtel and continues to be guided by the wisdom of myth and the ceremonial pathways of old European lineages. Her time collaborating with Blackfoot and Métis Elders through the Rediscovery Initiative in Alberta deeply informs her work and her commitment to allyship and cultural humility.

With a background as a professional artist and many years of experience guiding both youth and adults in nature-based programs across Western Canada, Stephanie brings a fierce compassion and soulful clarity to her facilitation. She is deeply fascinated by the role of initiation in both our individual lives and collective evolution. She is dedicated to uncovering the fragments of an intact, earth-honoring culture from her own lineage and regenerating the conditions within which true initiation can be held. She listens for the old stories—carried through myth, land, and dream—that remind us what it means to become human in service to life.
