Timeless Skills for an
Empowered Future
Our mission is to encourage youth in a nature based learning environment to increase sufficiency skills, wisdom, confidence and connection to self and to the Earth. We are propelled by the belief that in order to embody a healthy sense of self, purpose and belonging in the world, we must also intimately meet the rhythms of the land, embody the wisdom therein and extend the privilege of that experience to others, especially those who are the least likely to have the ability to access such an opportunity otherwise.

Creating community through nature connection, wisdom sharing and a revival of the old ways. Each gathering will reflect the current season and cycle. All are welcome.
Each month staring in June through October we hold space here on the farm for folks to get together in a meaningful way to learn, share and discuss topics such as: re-connecting to land, rearing resilient children in a changing world, homesteading, Wheel of the Year, NVC, Human Design and more!
We will also spend time exploring facets of our dominant culture that do not align with positive community growth and find strategies to overcome these conditioned ways.
Cost : just show up with good energy, ready to connect authentically with nature and others.
