Join Adam Mayfield, Kate Parsons and Rob Mullins for leadership, mindfulness, and survival training in the pristine Montana wilderness. Unearth your most authentic and primal self. 

With unparalleled hands-on attention and constant one-on-one instruction, our courses guarantee complete comprehension of the most critical backcountry survival skills. You will learn how survival is as much a mindset as it is a skillset, covering topics such as navigation with and without a compass, building a shelter exclusively from found natural materials, friction fire, locating and purifying water, plant and animal food sources, natural cordage, how to build your own survival kit, and so much more. This course also provides an introduction to the principles of permaculture, focusing on long-term sustainable living and creative inquiries into living systems. 

What makes this course unique is not only the opportunity to learn how to survive in the wilderness but also, by using nature’s classroom, to hone your skills to survive, and thrive, in your daily lives. Through our mindfulness meditation training, you will enhance your ability to see your current reality more clearly.
