What we do here...Through the practice of ancient Earth based and traditional living skills, we bring greater health, happiness, and harmony to the Earth and her people: humans, plants, animals, creepy crawlers, soil, water, air, and future generations. We reclaim our role as Care Takers of this planet and stewards of her natural resources by sharing the essential skills of the wilderness and ancient cultures across the world. We recognize we cannot change what we have done to the Earth, but we can change what we do. By practicing traditional skills we deepen our respect for the natural world and its limited resources. We live a more biodegradable, Earth friendly life. Unfortunately, we are bearing witness to the destruction our planet’s ecosystems, the mass extinction of potentially a million species, and we sadly see that our ability to live here on the planet is being destroyed along with them. We know if we continue in this manner, that, even though in time the Earth will recover from the devastation, the future for our children and grandchildren may be very grim. We act now to avoid an unfortunate future and make what we need, instead of buying a “cheap plastic crap” version that is thrown into the garbage, only to pollute the waters and soil… Now, we take the time to craft a sustainable lifestyle.We move toward sustainability by living with the same respect and TLC for Earth Mother our ancestors did, to ensure abundant health for the planet, the waters, and our children.

We take responsibility for our own form of personal self-care, health and wellness, and act accordingly to grow and maintain optimal fitness of our bodies and minds, hearts and souls, thereby
providing a positive example for our communities, both local and abroad. We do the best we can do, and approach this with humor… knowing that we are just a human being: critters with large brains.

  We are committed to Develop our own Individual Approach

to Wellness of body, mind and spirit. What we offer are studies to test, skills, experiences, and mysteries to explore… we do not have all the answers about the meaning and purpose of life. There are as many roads as there are folks walking the path of life. What path to take? That’s for you to decide. All people: ages, genders, races, colors, shapes, sizes, hairstyles, and backgrounds are welcome.

  Build a stronger healthier physique and boost your confidence

via exercise gathering debris for a shelter, making fire by
friction, moving with the gait of an otter, jumping like a frog, or climbing a tree like a porcupine. Enrich your life with art, beauty, and functionality. We believe that art is a form of pure communication, and we study and play with the many forms of expression our muse may guide us to. Be real with yourself and one another as we learn and grow. There is no quick fix, or real safety in life. The weather changes constantly, rain, snow, ice, flood, drought… we drive to work, and in a moment, we can be on the other side of life. The blistering heat and numbing cold, or the hole we just stepped in: do not care how we feel. Mother Nature is in charge and we must surrender to her laws. In order to survive and to thrive we must live in unity and harmony with her rhythms and with one another. The more we are attuned to the landscape and all its creatures, the more self-aware and skilled we become, the more we can avoid potential trouble, and the more adaptable we are. As my friends and mentors say, “The more we know the less we need.” We train these skills to have a deeper understanding of natural materials and ourselves, and we realize it takes work to become more durable, more capable, more aware, more proficient… it’s a life-long process full of ups and downs.

We recognize that we are not here to fix or change each other, as we cannot do that. True Growth & Change is a personal decision, motivated intrinsically, and happens over time. However, we can be present with each other through our learning and life changes. We experience countless real-world failures along the way and grow together by accepting and moving past our differences, our personal challenges, preconceived notions, egos and imperfections.
