We are beginning the building of a Naturalist School and Retreat Center at our rural campus of Samsara Ridge.
Local architectural firm Still Weather Projects are designing an eco-building to house programs year-round. Help us create this year-round sanctuary for nature connection, community and magic!
We believe fostering relationship with the natural world is the most powerful healer and teacher.
Through workshops, camps and retreats, we support deepening connections with the earth, one another and oneself. We call this time “GREEN TIME”
"Green time" is a term referring to time spent in nature or green spaces, in contrast to "screen time" spent on digital devices. It emphasizes the benefits of outdoor activities and interaction with nature, particularly for children, promoting their mental, physical, and cognitive well-being.
Wilderness Awakening started out with 700 Hours of Green Time in 2020. In 2024, we created 14,344 hours of Green Time!
A total of 35,812 HOURS OF GREEN TIME.
