I offer to teach peoples of what wild-nature taught me and my families. I now live in urban Idaho and the Wilderness of Northern California. We have manifested ways to integrate these Wild Wisdoms into doable daily - worthiness, wellness, purpose, relationship, abundance, prosperity, service and seeking.

From birth to age 11 we lived so mountain-remote I did not know there were other humans living on our big planet.

EarthThunder’s shared perhaps the most remarkable story I have ever heard. She was born around 1947 in Idaho, where she lives today. Both of her parents were indentured servants who were prohibited to have children. I know that this is hard to believe still possible in 1946. When EarthThunder was born her parents were murdered and she was given to her grandparents and extended family to raise. She spent the first 10 years of her life in the wild not knowing that there were other human beings in the world other than her family. She never saw a highway, a car, other people, airplanes, or electrical lines. Summers were spent in the mountains of Idaho at 8,500 feet above sea level and winters were spent in caves with food and animal hides to get them through the bitter cold, When EarthThunder was 10 her entire family was murdered in front of her, then thrown into a mass grave. Those unimaginably horrifying images still haunt her.
