Acknowledgement

All of us at Nature Philosophy would like to show our profound respect and love for all indigenous communities around the world. We acknowledge that indigenous wisdom is a global knoweldge bank held by humans from all races and countries. Primitive skills are the original survival skills which all humans once used in order to live in harmony with the earth. Nature Philosophy programs help to share these skills and keep them alive in the modern day.

 

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, of our ancestors and elders - past and present, on which our programs take place.  With a special recognition to the elders past and present from the Gumbanyggirr people of the North Coast of NSW, Tom Brown Jr of The Tracker School, USA and our adopted Yolngu families of North-East Arnhem Land.

About

Who we are

The Founders of Nature Philosophy Australia - Sam Robertson and Kate Rydge - have been sharing bush survival skills and guiding deep nature connection experiences since 2004. 

Nature Philosophy programs are inspired by our direct experiences with the natural world, our various mentors and the undeniable power of earth based skills. Our current programs draw broadly from these dynamic rivers of wisdom and knowledge. 

All Nature Philosophy programs are powerful wilderness experiences which encourage the transformation of modern culture and your personal transformation through deep nature connection.

Words cannot thank Kate and Sam enough for their guidance and love through this process. Their humility, integrity and huge hearts have inspired me deeply. Thank you for holding space for people like me to step into my life and vision with a deeper honour for this earth.”
