Ours is a professional, yet relaxed environment that encourages people to learn through exploration and fun.
Our hands-on classes combine modern ecological knowledge with ancient ways of living with nature, blending the scientific and the intuitive, and reflecting of our belief that the natural world is not just something we observe - it is something we participate in. Our goal is to enable people to deepen their connection to the natural world, and through that, to their community and each other.
​We also offer custom courses and workshops by request. ​Please contact us for more information.
KIDS POLICY: Most of our classes, clubs, and events are family friendly. ​Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

We are taking a hiatus from many of our classes in 2025. Please come back next year!
