Field Courses, Workshops, & Seasonal oFferings

Whether you're seeking to learn Pacific Northwest foraging, master fire-making and shelter-building, or explore herbal medicine, each experience is designed to be immersive, empowering, and rooted in place.
From wild food and mushroom foraging to nature-based crafts, wildlife tracking, plant identification, and traditional earth skills, our offerings are led by experienced naturalists and guides who teach with reverence, curiosity, and care. These workshops, immersions, and gatherings are open to all experience levels — from beginners to seasoned outdoorsfolk.
