What we’re about
For thousands of years, humans have lived in relatively small tribes intimately with each other and the land in order to live healthy fulfilling lives. Today, many have become disconnected from our roots and have lost the wisdom of how to thrive in the wild. Accordingly, we have suffered and the land has suffered. This group was created to cultivate a tribe of beautiful heart-centered individuals who support one another in taking full responsibility for their lives and cultivating the skills to reconnect with the Earth from which we all are Native. We will explore bush crafting skills such as foraging wild plants and animals, making cordage, locating water, building beautiful natural shelters from mud and plants, land navigation skills, scouting, building fires, land regeneration, etc. We have chosen the cattail plant as a symbol for the group because it is a keystone species providing all elements necessary for survival. It is a great source of food providing an abundance of high quality starch from its roots, protein, vitamins and minerals from its pollen; it cleans the water in which it lives, makes great cordage for clothing, building etc, and can be used to produce fire. We will cultivate intimate relationship with cattails as well as many other plants, animals and minerals. As we reconnect with the wilderness, we reconnect with the wild within ourselves bringing greater wellbeing and abundance to ourselves and the environment in which we live. We are currently scouting a large parcel of land in the mountains where we intend to regenerate the land turning it into a wildlife sanctuary. In the meantime the group will meat in a variety of locations on the plains and in the mountains. No skills or experience is necessary only a deep longing to reconnect and take full responsibility for your life.
