About Program
Earth Craft is a place-based initiatory gap semester rooted in the Dreaming Earth, deep ecology, the power of community and the unshakable belief in our mutual interdependence with all beings.
Over eight weeks, a community of 18-26 year-olds on the threshold of true adulthood will live together in a land-based community while being mentored by seasoned guides into nurturing reciprocal relationships with themselves, the human, more-than-human world, the ancestors and the future ones.
Together, we will reimagine and recreate a life-enhancing, genuinely healthy culture: one in which you are supported in eco-centric development by initiated adults. Together, through hands-on, nature-based, soul-centric work and experiments in ecological living, you will gain tools with which to live meaningfully in these unprecedented times. Permaculture, Wilderness skills, community living skills, practical life skills, deep dives into your passions and longings, solo time in nature.
