Mission

We create programs that foster deep inquiry into the good life and the great work as a way of guiding our students toward personal and planetary thriving. We combine academic rigor and immersive experiences in nature with visual pedagogy, mind-body practices, and a back-to-the-land work ethic. We provide opportunities for learners to take powerful intellectual risks, to expand their capacity for creative thought and action, and to connect meaningfully to their environment. We aim to equip our students with the skills necessary to nourish with wisdom, justice, and joy the communities to which they belong.
