Many ways to learn- education to suit your needs
With a goal of making the skills and life ways I share accessible to more people in more places, I offer a variety of learning opportunities:
- In-person course on our land in northeastern California (Current Class List)
- Online Courses through Buckskin Revolution Academy
- Private Trainings
- Speaking Events
- Consulting Services for Alone show hopefuls, skills enthusiasts seeking Mentoring, authors and film creators
- Books and Youtube Videos
On-line Courses and Gatherings

The onset of the Corona pandemic inspired me to create a whole new way of teaching and sharing the skills I am so passionate about. The result was the Buckskin Revolution Academy, an online learning academy including both short courses and interactive online gatherings incorporating a wide range of skills.
While originally begun as a way to meet the immediate needs of the time, I now see it as a very important way to provide quality instruction and skills support to a broad range of people for whom the travel or expense of in person courses would be limiting.
The B.R.A. currently offers 2 single subject short courses- available year round, and a yearly seasonal gathering that runs for 6 weeks, with more focus on community engagement and sharing the learning journey in the context of a larger group of students with similar interests. I hope to add more short course offerings over time.

Buckskin Revolution Circle, an online nature connection and land based skills community
The Buckskin Revolution Circle grew out of my online courses as a way to create a community that fostered learning and connection between students. It has grown into something greater, and is now an ongoing community of folks interested in land based skills and nature connection where members post projects, ask questions, have the ability to schedule group calls on particular subjects, and more.
Membership in the BR Circle comes with enrollment in the online gatherings and particular courses, as well as with some levels of patreon membership.
If you would like to meet and interact with folks with similar interests and feel a part of a greater skills community, this might be the place for you.

Custom Classes and Speaking Events

Custom Classes
If you are interested in a class with me and don't see what you are looking for in my schedule, putting together and hosting a custom class or private training is another option.

Follow this link for a list of some of the Custom Class Topics subject matters I teach. These classes usually need to be scheduled well in advance. Contact me to ask about my availability.
Speaking Events
I have been a key note speaker at spoken at skills events; homestead, alternative power and off-grid living conferences; Audobon Society events; schools, and more. Contact me to discuss possibilities in your area.
