On Campus Program

The Rewilding Summit

NURTURE YOUR CONNECTION WITH THE EARTH

What is the earth saying to us? How can we learn to listen deeply and respond with wisdom? 

Join author of Rewilding: Meditations, Practices, and Skills for Awakening in Nature, Micah Mortali; Native American culturalist, Shawn Stevens; spiritual intuitive, Zelda Hotaling; author of Your Guide to Forest Bathing: Experience the Healing Power of Nature, Amos Clifford; and seasoned survivalist, Taz Ramos, for a four-day summit on the Kripalu campus—the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people.

Filter through the noise in the media, sit together in council with earth elders and leaders, and nurture your personal connection with the earth as you deepen your knowledge of:

  • Land stewardship and caretaking
  • Forest bathing and nature meditation
  • Ancestral skills and Indigenous wisdom 

Gather with others who feel called to attune to the “more than human world" and return home a more mindful ambassador of the planet.


Looking for an experience over the summer?

Amos Clifford and Micah Mortali are copresenting The Council of Water and Trees on June 6–9.
