Headwaters Outdoor School

Earth Caretaker School

November 27, 2017 By HWOS Office

Growing Up with a Soul Full of Nature

Growing Up with a Soul Full of Nature is the autobiography of Tim Corcoran, the founder of Headwaters Outdoor School. This book tells his incredible story of growing into a man with Nature as his life’s foundation and teacher.This book will inspire the reader to bring Nature back to our children as a foundation in their lives.

As we move into the future and the attack on Nature continues from humankind, children being raised today will need a deep connection to the natural world in order to help heal nature, plus find stability and inspiration for their own lives. After all, Nature is an amazing teacher and constant friend; it just takes knowing how to listen and communicate to the Earth, and the teachings come flooding in.

As Tim Corcoran always says-“Get out in the woods. It’s the best place to be.”

This book is a must read for parents and children alike. It will change your life.

It is recommended reading for all students and apprentices at Headwaters.

All proceeds from the purchase of this book go towards the Walker / Hupp Fund, a 501(c)3 that provides scholarships to boys and girls that do not have the financial resources to attend our school.
