that awakens, inspires and engages your students.
This is a live, in person, hands-on training.
May 1-4, 2025 at Hawk Circle, Cherry Valley, NY
The skills you'll learn work because they are connected directly with our survival, and they are hardwired into us.
Our curriculum has been field tested for fifteen thousand years, because earth skills has been part of our human experience since we picked up the first rock or stick.
You don't need to be in the wilderness for these activities, or skills or crafts. They work in all kinds of settings, with everyone, and you can learn to be proficient in just a few days.
“There is a biological imperative built into our DNA to learn to make useful tools, cook over a fire and be independant. This drive is strongest in childhood, and mastering them leads is tremendous joy, creativity and a sense of freedom.” ― Ricardo Sierra
