Join us for our 3rd annual edition, as we come together and co-create a “village” experience with 3 days and 2 nights out in the bush.
Within this “wilderness camp” setting, we will learn practical skills and experience community living, while also making space for relaxation and introspection.
During this time, facilitators will suggest activities to engage with the elements and awaken the senses. They will also share bushcraft and wildcraft skills to increase capacity for self-sufficiency and creativity in nature.

More about the facilitator:
As a certified nature-based therapist, environmental activist, outdoor educator, and wilderness guide, Andrea Fox brings curiosity and play to every exploration. Grounded, while allowing flow, they share and integrate different practices that stem from their professional studies, personal experiences, and whatever might emerge in the moment as a synchronistic opportunity.
With Elemental Journeys, they offer youth programs, primal skills workshops, adult wilderness retreats, and one-on-one counselling sessions in the area of Nelson BC. Other upcoming events include workshops for Earth Week in Nelson (April 22nd) and the Kootenay EcoFest (May 25th).
