A Note From Ben
Hello friends,
The path toward a functional land-based lifestyle is not a quick one. And it’s not without countless small (and large) mistakes made along the way. We’ve made many of these ourselves in the 20+ years of our journey.
Our online workshops leverage the decades of experience that Erica and I (along with the team we have cultivated) have accrued.
The learning experiences below are led by myself or a member of my team with at least a decade or two of hands on daily experience in the subject matter.
With the recent and growing popularity of a more hands-on lifestyle I have noticed that many of the programs in this space are led by people new to the lifestyle themselves but savvy with internet marketing.
I encourage you to vet your instructors carefully and, if in doubt, save your money and try to assist a local old-timer who has done the work for a lifetime.
I welcome any questions you may have in vetting us as a source of guidance and sound information; do not hesitate to contact me.
More courses and workshops are coming soon!
