For the majority of human existence, our understanding of the natural world, our skills and innate abilities, and our love for each other kept us alive and strong in the wilderness. Roots' teachings reconnect us all to our birthright and ancestral lineage of survival, tracking and awareness, and earth based philosophies.

Join us in the beautiful Green Mountains for an experience based, intensive journey from humanities' past to its future.

Coming up in March is the Bows, Arrows, and Flint Knapping Class, these classes can be taken one at a time or all together and cover and amazing amount on material in a short time. Come and build your own primitive hunting gear and stone tools.

 
Roots is now taking applications for the 2012 Origins Program in which students attend courses for nine months to make all of the weapons and tools needed to go on a week long hunting and survival trip in Vermont.
