Take a step towards a deep reconnection weekend experience, reconnecting with your inner hunter gatherer.

Todays world has made us living in a constant state of stress, anxiety and an unfocussed mind. The effects of the constant bombardment of war, climate change, and uncertainty has left us with the symptoms of unhappiness, depression and a constant worry of what the future may bring, prepare your family and yourself now.

Did the basic survival course. Absolutely amazing experience! I didn’t even know what plants were at my doorstep. Now I can confidently provide my whanau with highly nutritional meals. I learnt how to butcher my own food and am now confident if the worst was to happen. The knowledge from this team is phenomenal. Loved it! Thank you so much.
