Healing the Connection between Humans + Nature
HUMANS + NATURE
HEALING OUR CONNECTION
Having relied for thousands of years on our innate senses and instincts to interpret landscapes, find food, survive, and thrive, humans are still equipped with powerful instinctual abilities to connect with nature. Due to our rapidly changing lifestyles and reduced opportunities for direct interaction with our ecosystem these senses are often lying dormant.
Hunting and gathering offer a unique way of interacting with our environment – by moving from observer to direct participant in the natural drama of life that unfolds around us. This once commonplace experience provides a unique opportunity to awaken our innate senses and connect to our own instinctual energy and ability, which can be profoundly useful in all aspects of life and broaden the experience of being human.
For the Love of the Land
Our Mission is to:
Heal and strengthen the bonds between humans and nature to the point we realize we are nature.
Foster sound stewardship by becoming direct participants in our ecosystem.
Instill confidence and knowledge in new hunters so they can reconnect to their hunting heritage.
Awaken our innate senses through conscious hunting and gathering.
Create a life-changing experience, or at least a foundation for lifelong learning.
Make hunting more accessible to people who have faced historic and ongoing barriers to the outdoors.
