““I have been camping plenty of times but not for a few years and only ever with my family, so it was a huge change to be doing such an intimate and revealing activity with a random group of people. Nonetheless, I had such an amazing time and I felt so welcomed at any given moment. Dr. Carfore runs this with so much grace and passion, and it is beautiful to see someone teaching something so important and overlooked to a group of individuals that may not have known otherwise. I got to learn and embrace so many different things on this trip, whether it was within myself, with nature, with the group, or with Kim herself. The preparation and planning that goes into this offering is also so diligent, as well as the aftermath and our return to society not only physically but mentally/emotionally, and Kim really prepares us for it all. I am grateful to have this type of experience, and meet someone as kind and open hearted as Kim Carfore, who is ready to share her love and knowledge of nature. It is truly a beautiful thing to experience!!””

“This was truly an extraordinary experience that profoundly enhanced my understanding of and connection to nature. I am blessed for this experience that has made a lifelong impact on me. This experience was only made possible because of Dr. Kim Carfore. Her expertise and love for our planet is seen through how she teaches. ”

“Participating in this experience was one of the best decisions I have made for my mental health, expansion of the mind and ability, and curiosity. I have had several pretty notable achievements but I don’t think I have ever been more excited about an achievement than I was when I made fire….I feel that there is so much power that comes with fire, and It felt almost like it was fueling something inside of me everytime I saw a spark. ”
