Teacher(s): Tim Corcoran, Steph Bogdanova
Ages: 12+
*Students under the age of 12 are welcome to enroll as long as their parent/guardian either takes the class with them or does a nature retreat on the land during the class. *
Students will learn to immerse themselves fully in nature. Renewing your connection with wilderness will be a major life freeing experience. This class is held on our beautiful land, and the surrounding area in Mount Shasta. This class is the foundation for all nature studies. You can read about nature, but you can only know nature by experiencing it yourself fully. Nature is the teacher, but we will guide you in skills to be able to connect more deeply.
We suggest taking the Wilderness Skills Class right after this class to expand your wilderness skills experience and hands on knowledge.
