The Sacred Naturalist School is a naturalist immersion located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina in Marshall, NC. We stretch out in time to luxuriously embrace the full glory of the Appalachia in a temple woven out of time and our presence to the language of the Earth.

We meet for seen days to deeply build our relationships and knowledge of this astounding bioregion. We dive into the immense diversity of the region, meeting and exploring the lives of plants, trees, birds, fungi, mammals, insects, amphibians and reptiles, as well as the cycles and ecosystems that weave them together.

Enjoying plant walks, stargazing, bird walks, embodiment practices like tracking, dance and forest bathing, ritual beauty, camping, hiking, swimming, fires, games and much more! 

The Sacred Naturalist Program is designed to bring people closer to our natural world and heritage in a way that is both scientifically informed and holds space for deep reverence, wonder and inspiration ignited by our relationships with the living wilds.

We hope you will come and join us for this unique journey of immersion, relation and connection.

When natural rhythms breath us in, where birdsong awakens us, where you laugh so hard you cry, and how we circle changes us. 

Sacred Naturalist School is a family reunion, welcome home! Earthy folk have fun together. We like to learn about plants, court the ancient flame-by friction, swim in the stream and receive the wisdom of the stars. 

We want to open this amazing offering to our alumni as well as new members of the community. 

We welcome parents to join us this year as we will have a rocking deep nature connection kids program running alongside Sacred Naturalist School and weaving together in key moments. For kids ages 7-12. Of course you do not need to bring kids to attend, we just want to provide the support for families to take part in the magic.
