Experience the Shikari Tracker Training Program, an at-home course of study in the core routines of holistic tracking and nature awareness. Develop the power of your curiosity and senses while deeply exploring your favorite tracking spots with the long-term guidance of an experienced tracking mentor.

Students who participate in this 10-month program will be guided through a powerful and proven process of building a deep relationship with the natural world. Be prepared for the journey of a lifetime!

This unique training includes:

• Personal mentoring calls for half an hour every other week, with a Shikari Tracking Guild staff mentor
• A monthly Essentials of Nature Awareness (ENA) conference call with Jon Young, in which special stories and training concepts are shared
• Personalized tracking and nature awareness challenges to complete in between calls—students email their work for review to the instructors
• Learn at your own pace through this eight level training series

For those who wish to experience the highest level of mentoring service that the Shikari Tracking Guild provides, we recommend combining this at-home course of study with the Integral Awareness Training Series weekend workshops and/or the Native Eyes Bird Language, Tracking and Awareness Intensive.

We are looking for motivated and committed students who can demonstrate their willingness to truly push their knowledge and understanding to the next level.
