Wilderness Therapy and Foraging

Because Humans evolved in Nature, it’s where we feel most comfortable.  Throughout evolution, we have spent 99.9% of our time in natural environments.  Our physiological functions are still adapted to it.  It’s a very short period of our evolutionary history that has seen us as a species, living, working and spending time recreationally, indoors.

As a result, many of us are now experiencing “nature-deficit disorder”, a term coined by author and journalist, Richard Louv.

There is a growing body of scientific research to support the belief that spending long periods of time indoors or in an urban only setting with no access to Nature diminishes the use of the senses, increases attention difficulties and results in higher rates of physical and emotional illness.

Spending time in Nature, however, improves attention, reduces anxiety, improves energy and boosts our immune system.

Our Human DNA is hard wired to be outdoors, it is where our sensory system evolved.  We believe that spending time outdoors in a natural setting, wild crafting and foraging is the ultimate way to (re)connect with the Earth and our ancestors who walked this path before us.

We are passionate about helping people of all ages to reconnect with this lost knowledge in an accessible, safe and fun way.
