I created this online class series because I believe these are essential life skills—not just for survival, but for living a life where you feel truly Awake, Alive, and Aware! In today’s fast-paced world, too many people feel disconnected, numb, or lost. But our ancestors saw the world through different eyes—they moved with purpose, understood the language of nature, and thrived in harmony with their surroundings. I want to help you rediscover that way of being.

For over 25 years, I’ve witnessed the power of reconnecting with nature. I’ve seen people transform—finding confidence, clarity, and even healing—simply by reawakening their senses and deepening their awareness. Nature has a way of revealing strengths we didn’t know we had. That’s why I designed this program—to give everyone access to these life-changing skills and a deeper connection to the world around them. Whether you want to be more self-sufficient, tap into ancestral wisdom, or simply see the world with fresh eyes, this series is for you!

Fire is more than just a tool—it's a companion and a force of nature that I have learned deeply over the years. Like any relationship, how you treat your fire will determine how well it serves you. This class is a journey through time, exploring the many facets of fire, from its origins 2 million years ago to its role in the modern world.

In this class, you will learn:

The history and significance of fire, from ancient times to the present day.

Techniques for building a fire that can be lit in any weather with a single batch of materials.

Demonstrations of several ancient fire-starting methods.

Practical advice on modern tools and materials to simplify fire-starting.

Tips for maintaining and nurturing your fire for optimal performance.

Join me as we delve into the art of fire-making, blending ancient wisdom with modern knowledge to deepen your connection to this essential element.

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve been asked the same question, from students to reporters. It usually goes something like this: “Why do I never see any animals when I go into the woods?” or “What can I do to see more wildlife?”

There are many factors at play. Animals are naturally wary of us, but the easiest thing to change—and one that will drastically increase your awareness of the wonderful wild world around you—is learning how to move properly.

During these three 2-hour classes, you will learn:

•The mechanics of the modern human walk and the damage it does to our bodies.

•The principles of natural movement and how to integrate them into our daily lives.

•Why footwear is crucial. Most modern shoes are akin to a coffin for your feet. I will recommend the best types of footwear for various conditions.

I will also provide exercises that you can continue to practice long after the class, allowing you to condition your muscles for even greater benefits.

For nearly 30 years, I’ve been searching for the best way to teach people the crucial skills needed to become truly awake, alive, and aware.

Through this program, we’ll dive into physical exercises and experiential training designed to reactivate your instincts. Along the way, we’ll explore the powerful benefits of the Four Points of “the Diamond of Oneness”:

•Wide-Angle Vision – See the world in a way you never have before, expanding your peripheral awareness and perception.

•Tracking – Learn to read the landscape like a book, deciphering the subtle signs left behind by animals, people, and nature itself. Think Sherlock Holmes.

•Awareness – Develop heightened sensory perception and intuitive responsiveness to your surroundings.

•Natural Movement – Reclaim the way your body was meant to move, enhancing agility, balance, and fluidity in any environment.

When we cultivate these four areas equally, we awaken our dormant instincts, unlock hidden abilities, and experience the world in a way few ever do. It’s time to see, hear, feel, and move like never before—to rediscover the incredible potential that has always been within you. Once proficiency in the diamond is achieved, you can begin to move onto the way of the caretaker.

One of the reasons I love photography so much is that it makes for a fantastic journal in which to learn any skill. Still, photographing tracks can help us relive that moment when we found the tracks, and for me, a drawing would look like a mere crawl compared with an image I can take with my Nikon Or my iPhone. During these two sessions (4 hours total), I will share the secrets of Track photography on both the art and Scientific approach.

Learn where to find good tracking areas, starting by looking at satellite maps.
