About
Primal Education
Education is at the heart of my work because it is one of the most powerful ways to create change and have a lasting impact on our world.
I offer tools and practices that support anyone seeking a wilder and wiser way of life while supporting their community as a mentor, educator, and leader.
Primal Education is an approach to learning and teaching that explores the original, essential, and universal knowledge and wisdom humans need to thrive.
I support primal guides with primal approaches to education, mentorship, coaching, and consulting for those called to bring transformation to their communities.
Are you a Primal Guide?
We need wild and wise mentors, educators, and leaders to help humans reconnect to the earth and reawaken their primal nature. We are suffering from a “separation sickness” that has lead to a meta-crisis that threatens life as we know it on our planet. Primal Guides are those called to take a primal journey of connection and transformation while supporting the journey of others as keepers of wild wisdom.
My Mission
To serve the great mystery of life as a keeper of the wild, by living with the earth and holding the space for evolving wisdom as a protector, healer, and guide.
Projects
What I do.
I have dedicated my life to an evolving collection of projects that started as simple visions that gradually became holistic practices and organizations in service of my tribe and the world. I have dedicated the rest of my life to practice and mastery while mentoring and collaborating with others.
Want to work with me?
I'm glad our paths have crossed and I would love to support you and your community in any capacity. Please explore my projects to see if there is a fit for youyou or you or you can contact me if you want to create something together.

SPYDERLAB
Give your tribe an edge with the primal practice of trapping.
Spiderlab is the home of spydercraft and the dojo, or “place of the way”, of the trap-keeper. Traps have provided for and protected humanity since the dawn of time. Spydercraft is an ecological practice that explores the primal science, art, and philosophy of traps and trapping using primal technologies within an ethical framework for the modern world.
