Open positions

Staff at Teaching Drum Outdoor School are here because we believe in what we do. We believe that deep connection with nature facilitates transformation and healing.

Teaching Drum Outdoor School and its growing branches—the Healing Nature Center and Snow Wolf Publishing—are rooted in this common core value.

Our commitment extends beyond marketing materials and course descriptions to our way of life. Most staff live on campus as part of an intentional community with a focus on living in a balanced way with nature and self. Authentic communication is a part of our daily practice. We come together as a Circle for healing and celebrating as well as for furthering our mission.

We live a simple lifestyle – heating with wood, eating an organic and partially wild-foraged diet, and living in community with others who enjoy the same. Staff receive room and board, shared vehicle use, utilities, internet, and a $550 stipend/month. Food that is included with room and board is based on a paleo-diet and includes fruit, vegetables, nuts, wild meat, eggs, fat, and wild rice.

If self-motivated to learn wilderness survival skills, including the skills taught in the Wilderness Guide Program (such as fire making, tanning hides, tracking, wild foraging, trapping, woodworking, shelter building, open-fire cooking, way finding, etc.) there is a wealth of clan knowledge to draw upon.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Though many of us love animals, we have a no pet policy. We are a tobacco, alcohol, and drug free community.
