Women's Surthrival Intensive July 6-12 2025
Would you like to feel more confident and capable of taking care of yourself and your loved ones whatever befalls you? Have you been intimidated to learn these skills because of the person vs nature or macho attitudes so prevalent in much of the survival skills world? This is the course for you- highlighting connection with instead of domination of nature, in a women and femme identified context that highlights women's unique gifts.
In this 6 day immersion, you’ll learn the basics of wilderness survival. Instead of focusing just on how to keep ourselves alive, however, we'll also explore skills for longer term wilderness living. These are the deeper skills that recall your ancestral heritage and tune your body to the landscape, so you to go beyond mere surviving, to thriving. This course will cover the basic elements of Wilderness Survival, but instead of focusing just on keeping ourselves alive, we will focus on how to feel safe, healthy and at home in the wild. You'll come away knowing the difference between just surviving and truly thriving! We will be camping together on our land in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in northeastern California for a packed week studying Surthrival Philosophy, Sheltercraft; Campcraft including lashing and knots; Water, Fire, Wild Foods; Tool use and maintenance; Building Health and Resilience from the inside out. Students will be responsible for their own camps and cooking, but we will also enjoy some potluck meals and lots of community camaraderie.
