Welcome to Auntie School
“But did you die?”
—a famous auntie
We are not a school.
Please don’t raise your hand or sit in rows, we want you to FAFO.
To learn from the dirt, the water, from the hunt, and good times,
and especially from the ridiculousness of mess and mistakes
We are equal parts land-based educator, certified backcountry guide,
and mischief
We will teach you how to enjoy and read the land like a book,
and then dare you to go streaking to the quonset,
because everybody is doing it-
If you are looking for polished, serious, or “canned” it ain’t here.
However, if you are craving a little rebellious family reunion,
a weird summer camp with your friends,
or eclectic team building session lead by (mostly safe) bad influences -
let class begin.
Featured Events
The Creatures That Teach
This is a creepy and intimate evening with storytelling, a guided plant and creature walk in the deep dark woods, followed up by delicious fire cooked food, and wild mint tea- all within the safety of a cozy cedar enclosed fire hut.
This +18 event, is a perfect unique date night with your partner or friends. Our time and conversations will be all about the scary creatures that haunted our childhood and maybe still do- From folklore monsters, cryptids, to Wisakejak (Metis trickster), and ghost stories
Rebel Book Club
CURIOUSITY KILLED THE CAT, BUT SATISFACTION BROUGHT IT BACK
Once a month we will meet in person and discuss a dangerous literature- why? why not!
Words can be weapons and books can be dangerous- especially when misunderstood and ignored or buuuuurned.
Come on a journey through dangerous books.
Lets fafo!
Hosted by a trained facilitator/mediator
Monthly Plant walks
Starting up again for October- we will offer seasonal plant identification and use walks!
Teaching you the useful and medicinal plants all around us, by playing our favourite game…
