THE WILD SURVIVAL ACADEMY

Survival Skills are essential techniques that a person may use in order to sustain life in any type of environment, natural or manmade. Have you ever wondered how our ancestors lived ages ago? How did they meet their basic needs of Food, Fire, Water, and Shelter? We have been passed with this information through our genes and generations. We are part of evolution of the Mankind on this planet. The technological advancements today have made us a slave to modern comforts, but our nature craves for this experience. At “The Wild Survival Academy” we take you back in eons to have a life-transforming experience. You get trained in essential Survival Skills and subconsciously get wired to your primal instincts. The clarity on life, your vision, and the goals you experience after these five days’ workshop will transform you as a person to become better and more confident than ever before.

Though we are using the term primitive living for ease of understanding our methodologies in fact, we prefer to call it “Holistic Living” where you live in complete harmony with mother nature and all forms of life.
