Connect to Nature, Transform your Life

“Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.” – David Whyte

Since 1999, the Anake Outdoor School has provided a field-based immersion program for students committed to deepening connections with nature, community and, and self. Based in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, this 9-month experience provides leading-edge tools for becoming an empowered and nature-connected human living in the 21st century.

Our unique approach to learning and development has three interwoven elements:

•Knowledge and Skill

•Connection and Relationship

•Growth and Transformation

The synthesis of these three elements results in dynamic creation of community that supports learning, exploration, and growth. Participants hone wilderness skills, develop empathy for the natural world, and acknowledge the unique gifts they have to share. Our world is facing complex problems, and is calling for connected and resilient leaders offering creativity and vision. The Anake Outdoor School cultivates these leaders.
