Deepen your connection with nature, self, and community...
Lightning Tree Animist Nature School, based in Durango, Colorado provides outdoor education experiences and immersive nature-based education programs for adults in southwest Colorado to support students in deepening their connection to self, community and nature.
Through an 8-Shields informed curriculum of wilderness survival, naturalist skills, ancestral human technologies and awareness practices and a cultural container including singing, gratitude, reflection, and listening to the other-than-human beings, we help students to reconnect with what it means to be truly human, and restore the sense of belonging in the vast multi-species community of nature. Registration for our 9-Month Nature Connection Intensive (beginning Sept 2024) will be open Spring 2024. Enrollment is limited to 12 students, email us to get on the waiting list.

Deep nature connection begins this Fall with our Nature Connection Intensive. Join us one weekend a month for 9 months to reconnect with your true nature, rewild your body, mind and soul and reawaken your senses.
Our curriculum includes Wildlife Tracking, Natural Movement, Ancestral Skills (crafts, outdoor cooking, hide tanning and more), Wilderness Survival, Bird Language, Awareness Skills, Fire, Edible and Medicinal Plants, and more. Our philosophy sees all of these outer skills as pathways of connection and intimacy with the more-than-human world. Be ready to find your edges, inside and out, and we'll meet the wild ones there.
