Wild Human Nature
Explore what it means to be part of nature. Humans have evolved through their relationship with the land. We still have an important role to play in our local ecosystems. This role starts with awareness. By practicing awareness in the forest, learning ways to align with the plants, we are able to build a connection with them.
Learn skills to offer your own plant blessing, deeper listening to nature's subtle signals and sustainable harvest techniques. We collect from healthy plant populations to nourish our bodies, as food and medicine.
