NURTURE YOUR CONNECTION WITH THE EARTH
What is the earth saying to us? How can we learn to listen deeply and respond with wisdom? How might we learn to live on earth from a place of deep reverence, connection, and reciprocity?
Join the author of Rewilding and Founding Director of the Kripalu School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership, Micah Mortali, and friends for our second annual Rewilding Summit: a deep, multi-disciplinary dive into what it means to rewild our lives as modern people living in a changing world.
Our esteemed guest faculty includes:
- Keynote: Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods and other foundational works that have profoundly shaped the nature connection and rewilding movement.
- Shawn Stevens, Mohican historian, musician, and artist, will return to help lead the summit alongside Micah, sharing his stories and music.
- Zelda Hotaling, spiritual intuitive, and Mohawk teacher and artist of the Mohawk Nation, will help open the event and lead a session on making offering pouches.

Filter through the noise in the media, sit together in council with earth elders and leaders, and nurture your personal connection with the earth as you deepen your knowledge of:
- Nature and children
- Land stewardship and caretaking
- Cold water immersion
- Ancestral skills and Indigenous wisdom
- Foraging
- Fire-birthing
- Basketry
- Afro-indigenous listening skills
- The practice of council, music and so much more!
Gather with others who feel called to attune to the “more than human world" and return home a more mindful ambassador of the planet.
