Ancestral skills, nature connection, and fun for adults and teens from the Black, Indigenous and People of Color communities
The Rewilding School is a nature connection organization that also teaches many ancestral skills. These skills have been stolen from their original instructors, and today their practice is often stigmatized or viewed as dangerous for folks of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities.
Join us for a powerful outdoor experience centered on reconnecting with ancestral knowledge, land-based skills, and community.
​
The Reparative Roots Program is designed for adults and teens from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities to explore skills such as foraging, fire-making, crafting, tracking, and more - all while building connection to the land and one another.
​
Through hands-on learning, storytelling, and shared experience, participants are invited to engage with practices that have deep cultural roots and lasting relevance.
