Advanced Wild Deer
The next step in the Wild Deer Apprenticeship Program
Calling All Wild Deers
Are you ready for the next step on your earth skills and mentoring journey?
The PINE Project is proud to be offering a second year option for all Wild Deer graduates. The year 2 journey intends to narrow the focus by refining and developing proficiency with some of the most important survival skill sets, especially around the sacred 4 (shelter, water, fire, food) as well as exploring some more advanced wilderness arts and crafting. It also encourages forging your own customized path as a naturalist, wilderness arts practitioner, and mentor.
You will join the first year Wild Deer for their regular weekends . Here you will be fulfilling specific acorn roles to create the cultural container for effective learning under the guidance and mentoring of senior P.I.N.E staff. You will have the opportunity to build your understanding of the acorn model and build your mentoring tool box. While the first year students are learning the basic skills, you will be working with other mentors at refining your wilderness & naturalist skills with a big focus on the sacred 4.
You will also have 3 custom weekends at our P.I.N.E. Muskoka Primitive Camp.
We will be camped out in the backwoods living the sacred 4.
