"The Art and Science of Wilderness immersion" a 4-day Learning Adventure!
Long before we lived in cities and towns, our ancestors relied on a set of art forms to exist in the wild places. They had a very deep connection to the landscape because the things that existed there sustained them. By learning these primitive art forms, we establish a deeper connection with our ancestors and learn about nature. We can make any tool we need from gathering things in the wild, building shelter, and finding food. When we are in direct contact with our surroundings, we look upon the world through a new lens of reverence, respect, and thanksgiving.
Another hidden benefit of learning these arts is the ability to care for yourself and your family should an emergency arise in the wilderness by applying the principles our forebearers used to survive so that we can take care of ourselves in almost any situation that arises.
