About
Rewilding Education
Education is at the heart of my work because it is one of the most powerful ways to create change and have a lasting impact on our world.
Primal Education is an approach to learning and teaching that explores the original, essential, and universal knowledge and wisdom humans need to thrive.
Rewilding Educators
I provide an ecology of projects and practices that support anyone seeking a wilder and wiser way of life in support of their community as a mentor, educator, and leader.
I support primal guides with evolutionary approaches to education, mentorship, coaching, and consulting for those called to bring transformation to their communities.
“There is one subject for education, and that is life itself.”
Are you a Primal Guide?
We are suffering from a “separation sickness” that has led to a meta-crisis that threatens life as we know it on our planet. We need Primal Guides- wild and wise mentors, educators, and leaders to help humans reconnect to the earth and reawaken their primal nature. I train and support those called to take a personal journey of connection and transformation and share with others as wild wisdom keepers.
Does this call to you?
My Mission
To serve the great mystery of life as a keeper of the wild, by living with the earth and holding the space for evolving wisdom as a protector, healer, and guide.
Projects
What I do.
I have dedicated my life to an evolving collection of projects that started as visions and gradually became holistic practices and organizations that serve my tribe and the world. I have dedicated the rest of my life to practice, research, and mastery while mentoring and collaborating with others.
Want to work together?
I'm glad our paths have crossed and I would love to support you and your community in any capacity. Please explore my projects to see if there is a fit for you or you or you can contact me if you want to create something together.
