Workshop Description:

Learn and live outdoors for 3-days in this hands-on, experiential workshop.
Practice skills of basic human sustenance as you immerse yourself in the natural
world through native skills, games, activities, challenges, and stories. Learn how
to take care of yourself and others in a variety of situations be it wilderness
survival, natural disaster survival, or even urban survival… the principles are all
the same.
These survival techniques are also a doorway to understanding patterns in
nature and living simply. The skills will come to life through demonstration and
hands-on practice in this unique field experience course. You will leave with
many new skills and see with new eyes for living and learning in nature.
Because the world is not entirely
available from a keyboard!
