“Jon shares a nearly-forgotten wisdom that connects us back with our ancient human legacy of deep sensory relationship with the Earth, at a time when this remembrance is more critical than ever. These practices can change your life. I should know…I was that disillusioned kid who grew up playing video games in the suburbs, looking for something more...my life changed when I found Jon, who later mentored me in the same way that Tom Brown had mentored him. This approach helped me go from failing high school biology one year to being an A+ student in AP Environmental Sciences the next, because my passion and curiosity lit up and became unstoppable. My teachers couldn’t believe I was the same student. It’s been 27 years and I haven’t looked back since. Don’t hesitate, you’ll be amazed at the depth of connection and wonder that opens when you bring these skills into your life.”

Josh Lane, author, Conscious Nature: The Art and Neuroscience of Meditating In Nature

“Jon Young is the most inspiring and effective nature connection mentor I have ever worked with. He magically uses storytelling and his lifelong passion for tracking to change people’s lives through his powerful experiential teachings. ”

– Nicole Apelian, Ph.D., author of The Forager's Guide to Wild Foods
