Transform your life with nature

Explore Nature Connection, survival skills and Wild Villages with Nature Philosophy’s earth-based courses and experiences

It’s time to awaken your senses, ignite your power and remember your wild soul.

For the last 20 years, Nature Philosophy has supported thousands of earth-aligned humans to radically deepen their connection to the natural world, themselves and their true purpose. 

Founders Katie and Sam and their trusted tribe of facilitators know firsthand the transformational magic that Nature Connection can bring to your life – it’s the most powerful technique for personal transformation they’ve ever experienced!

But using the wisdom of deep Nature Connection as a north star is about more than your personal growth. It can help you ensure that soul-connected and sustainable lifestyles are possible for your wider community, now and for future generations.
