You are invited to join in two Like a Shadow Trainings in the Guardian Way. Immersing yourself in the Life and Training of a Guardian Warrior, you gain a deep sense of self-knowing, along with the ability to perform and serve in ways that until now you may have only dreamed about.

Explore the wildlife of the Headwaters Wilderness by day, cook over an open fire in the evenings, share stories with your camp mates under the setting sun, and fall asleep beneath the stars to the sounds of the forest.

Are you a person who desires a deeper connection with nature and your natural self? Are you a person who wants to learn and practice wilderness survival skills? Are you an outdoor skills instructor who would like to strengthen your primitive skills?

Participants live in a group of three to five people at our wilderness camp on the shore of a pristine wild lake nestled deep in the legendary Northern Forest of towering pine, shimmering birch, and stately maple.

Spend 30, 60, or 90 days living on the picturesque lakeshore camp called Nishnajida, which is Ojibwe for camp where the Old Way returns. You will live alongside the participants of the Wilderness Guide Program, surrounded by towering Pines and shimmering Birch, adjacent to the pristine Headwaters Wilderness.
