We at Wild Heart Revival work attentively with clients to create customized natural history programs for

In the past ten years we’ve developed, delivered, and evaluated more than 300 classes and 20 multi-day retreats, directly serving more than 3000 adults and children.

Our experiential programs are engaging and interactive. We promote deeper understandings of nature and invite empowerment. Programs are designed cognizant of state education standards and attentive to the myriad of different learning strategies exhibited in students. Mindfulness techniques are utilized to help participants settle their mind, emotions, and body for deep learning and relationship building. Our unique approach to embodied education facilitates conditions that awaken curiosity, clarity, connection, cohesion, and compassionate co-action.
