A holistic education program
Our educational program focuses on personal and interpersonal development, and human-nature interaction. Ecology is at the forefront in what we do. We teach skills that are useful to life surviving and thriving in desert and arid climates. Our key intention of focus relies on teaching people how to develop self-sufficiency in areas of health and wellbeing, food, water, land stewardship, and communal networks.
01
We value hands-on experience learning
We believe in experiential and hands-on education to teach skills in which current and future generations can move towards self-autonomy, responsibility, and sufficiency. Experiential education not only allows for a theoretical integration but also deepens the connections we make with the interrelationship that we have with ourselves, nature and our natural surroundings.
02
Accessible Education
To make our education accessible we provide online and offline opportunities for learning. Our intention is to include both local and international communities.
-
Create accessibility through open source style sharing of information we have channels with educational content which can be accessed freely. This includes our youtube channel, where we will put tutorials and the free materials and resources which we share on our website.

If you would like to go more in-depth, we are soon launching online education models online.

We offer scholarship programs, sliding scale, and installment payment options.
03
Creativity and Play
We place a focus on creating a safe environment where individuals feel free to express themselves and learn how to connect with each other intimately through embodied self and community development practices as well as hands-on learning. By creating a space for art and play, and integrating art within our landscape we facilitate access to the inner child within us and open up the opportunity to dream bigger and come up with creative solutions.
