Or choose a ready-made workshop:

•Introduction to Adventure•
Want to get started in camping or backpacking, but not sure where to start? Learn how to set up a tent, select gear, decide on a place to go, and how to get into the “adventure spirit”. This workshop has backpacking, low-tech camping, sailing, canoeing, and mountain biking options.

•Mindfulness in the Wild•
We are infinitely more Aware than we realize. Using the beauty and tranquility of natural surroundings, we open up our senses, discover new ways to experience peace, explore our mind’s current conditioning, and use meditation and thought experiments to set our mind’s natural capabilities free. You’ll spend a full day in the woods, quieting your mind and gaining new tools to help you live a richer, fuller life. Exercises include meditation, expanding your senses through natural awareness, communing with nature by learning to experience the world from different perspectives, Awareness Walking, and much more.

•Wilderness Martial Arts Training•
The ultimate in martial training, this workshop can be adapted to any level of martial arts proficiency, whether you’re a black belt or have no martial experience whatsoever. With the wilderness as our dojo, we’ll work on core skills, developing agility, balance, speed, endurance, strength, and mental fortitude. Exercises may include sparring, developing patience, developing resistance to pain and discomfort, focus exercises, stalking and ‘invisibility’, physical conditioning, and development of new skills and techniques. One day of this training is worth months of dojo-style training. This is a highly intense training experience, but it will be adapted to your level of physical, mental, and martial conditioning.

•Living Wild•
We all possess an ancient inheritance that has become buried under the noise and confusion of our technological lives. Re-discovering our wild nature can be the most emancipating experience of a lifetime. We’ll spend all day in the wilds, getting in touch with our natural awareness and mindfulness, re-discovering our instincts, and learning to understand the ‘language of nature’. While we will learn wilderness skills, this is not a technical workshop — nature becomes our teacher, and each workshop is a unique experience depending on the season, the weather, and what animals and plants we encounter. You’ll discover how to be at home in the wilderness, and how to approach nature as an ‘insider’ who belongs in the woods.

•Ultimate Insurance Policy•
Structured as a single 3-hour workshop or as ongoing in-depth experiential training, you’ll learn how to provide for all of your basic needs in the context of full wilderness survival. This knowledge can be the most valuable investment you ever make — you’ll know that you have the skills to survive indefinitely in the wilderness, and to provide for your family if circumstances should ever require it. These are skills that were common knowledge for our Paleolithic ancestors, but are all but forgotten by modern humans.  You’ll learn how to ease the transition from civilized to wilderness life. You’ll learn how to provide food, shelter, water, and fire with natural materials. You’ll learn how to transition through the seasons and survive winters in the northern latitudes. You’ll learn the critical difference between short-term and long-term wilderness survival situations. You’ll learn how to successfully avoid the most unpredictable creature in the wilderness — other humans. From knowing what to bring along into the wilderness to knowing how to do without any modern ‘necessities’ whatsoever, we’ll create a plan that includes knowing where to go, what to do (both short-term and long-term), and how to re-integrate into society should you choose to return. Whether you’re interested in knowing the raw skills of wilderness survival so that you can spend quality time in the woods or you simply want to have these skills available in the ‘worst case scenario’, you’ll develop a profound sense of confidence with your new abilities.
