Seeing the forest from the eyes of the naturalist and tracker

Our Vision & Mission

Our vision is to help create a cultural shift that realigns human beings with the natural rhythms of the wondrous planet we live on and the mysterious universe we are a part of. We believe that people who connect deeply with nature and community are much healthier and happier while having a significantly smaller impact on the planet's ecosystems.

 

We work with parents who are committed to integrating nature connection into their family's everyday life and raising their children in the most natural and connective way possible. We also work with individuals who want to go deep on the journey of connection to nature, spirit, self and community through the art of holistic tracking.

 

We believe that we become who we are through all of our relationships. Much depth of relationship to the more than human world was lost when we stopped being hunter-gatherers. We no longer tend these relationships as a direct physical survival need, yet they are essential to our spiritual survival. This is why we teach ancient skills and wisdom in modern times.

About

About Arnaud

After two decades of teaching ancestral skills and facilitating deep nature connection, I've had time to distill what I feel is essential for people to effectively find their way back to an important ancient bond with the Earth and their own sense of vision and purpose. I've mentored many people on a transformative journey to living joyful and meaningful lives deeply connected to the natural world, to themselves and to their communities.

Arnaud shares a personal story of how to bring healthy culture back for himself, his wife Kristyna and son, Nolan. He discusses the importance of and his commitment to cultural momentum in connecting people to nature and to each other.
