About  the  founders

We are passionate and experienced nature lovers who have dedicated ourselves to pursuing the highest of human potential. Years of self growth, spiritual development, wilderness survival training and deep research into alternative living have ignited in us a strong desire to spread this love and quality of life to as many people as possible! Our dream is to grow this school into an institute that offers a wide range of workshops, classes and tools for conscious living.

Andrea Sanchez

Andrea has spent the last 7 summers living in the woods of Mount Shasta, learning and teaching wilderness skills, earth philosophy, nature awareness and so much more! She has dived deep into self discovery through meditation, vision quests, sweat lodges, etc. and loves helping others to find and embody their true, highest potential!

Tristan  El-Ghoroury

Tristan grew up in a yurt on a beautiful farm in the mountains. Nature was his teacher and he learned to live in harmony with the earth around him. He strongly believes that human beings were put on this earth to THRIVE, not just survive. He is passionate about Permaculture as a concept that can be applied to all areas of life, and is determined to live abundantly in perfect balance with the earth and others. Tristan completed his own rite of passage when he was a teenager and is now passionate about extending this opportunity to as many young men and women as possible!
