Coyote travels along the edges of our cities, towns, and villages. He wanders in and out of our awareness, being seen when and how he chooses. Coyote is the trickster, inviting us to see and engage with the world in different, deeper ways. Join us for this fun and exciting camp as we learn the art of invisibility, natural camouflage, and the language of the forest, in addition to wildlife and human tracking, wild edibles, and stealthy movement. Participants who join us for this camp will never see the natural world, and their place within it, the same! |

Mountain Spirit is an adult program that offers a chance to look deeply at your life and purpose and to re-experience your connection to the Earth and all of Life. Based on ancient rites of passage found in the original teachings of all cultures, this camp draws on traditional Aboriginal teachings with today’s realities and challenges. People come to Mountain Spirit who are ready to make deep shifts in their lives, to mark an important change or passage in their lives, or who are looking for renewed guidance and inspiration. Profound friendships are forged at this program and people come from an enormous range of backgrounds and experience.
Participants renew their relationship with the Earth, and learn about the medicines, plants and animals of the area. You will have an opportunity to participate in traditional ceremonies, such as the Sweat lodge. We also teach you the basic skills you need to spend time safely on the land, preparing you for a solo quest. You will then have the opportunity to spend three days by yourself on the land. After the solo, we spend time to process, celebrate and begin learning from an experience that will last a lifetime! Mountain Spirit has been a life-changing spiritual journey for many people.
