Wilderness Survival

Develop self-confidence and nature awareness, and appreciate a deeper connectin with the earth learning basic wilderness survival skills. The Earth is the ultimate provider and for countless generations our ancestors knew how to survive and live in harmony with nature. By learning and practicing these skills we begin to experience nature in an ancient and meaningful way.

This class focuses on the four sacred orders of survival – shelter, water, fire food. Alexis Burnett teaches the foundation skills, learning shelter construction, fire-making, water collecting and purification as well as methods of gathering and harvesting foods from the landscape. Develop a much deeper connection to the earth and gain confidence in your abilities to survive and live comfortably in the natural world. Together we will walk as ‘one’ with the earth.
