Community
Many people feel the pull toward nature but do not know where to begin. The Naturalist Path is a simple way to take that urge and connect you with the others around you that are doing the same thing. It blends our foundational online courses, immersive field experiences, and optional guidance so that you can learn at a pace that feels natural for you.
Rather than overwhelming you with information, this path introduces the lived experience first. As your awareness grows, you begin to see more patterns, more connections, and more possibilities in the natural world.
You can start anywhere along the path that best fits your interests. Some begin with a single course. Others join an in person trip. The only thing that matters is starting now.

Choose any of the online courses and see if you like our teaching style.
THE FLY AGARIC
Start this mini-course for free and learn how we got this mushroom (and its uses) completely wrong.
EDIBLE WILDS
With guidance, you can eat the grasses, weeds and nuts in the wild, but knowledge is key.
FUNGI IN A DAY
In just one day you can learn to identify the safest and easiest mushrooms to eat in your area.
Step 2: Let My Team Guide You
Are you frustrated that you don't already know how to forage, make tinctures, build all the traps and baskets, or even how to effectively communicate your time in nature to others? I get it. But here is the solution. You can speed up that process exponentially with a guide.
Coaches help you in sports, in school, and even in learning nature. Maybe you just need help finding the holes in what you need to learn. We too can coach/guide you in lots of ways.
This may include...
- helping you see things you couldn't see before
- learning foraging skills when it might have been too daunting.
- developing skills to make your own wild recipes
- connecting you to the right community
- building a lifestyle that reconnects you to the natural world
When you book an exploratory call, we'll work together to map out the best way forward, helping you get the experience you're seeking.
From there you might continue with:
- A trip
- Individual courses
- Any of our three books
