“RDNA offered me the opportunity to deepen my relationship with the natural world & myself. Using sustainable living practices &native technologies I began to sense a way of being in the world that previous to RDNA I did not know existed.”

"I'd hate to meet the person who wouldn't benefit from this program."
"When there's a better school out there you'll be too old to care."
"If a better program ever manifests, it will be founded by a graduate of this one."
"It's a good thing you make so many friends here 'cause you may lose some to jealousy."
"At the end of every week your friends will bug you to tell them all you've learned."
"It works better than therapy and it's cheaper too."
-Julian, RDNA 2005-06

"I walked into this program as part of a culture that is increasingly disconnected from nature, one that views nature and humanity as separate entities, pitted against one another. We’re inundated with information and distractions in our modern world that magnify this void, and the cost not only effects our environment, but also our opportunity to truly be a human being and live a full, balanced existence in harmony with all around us. This program has provided me the tools to not only be a better steward of the environment, but to realize my potential as a person."
-Zach, RDNA 2005-06

"This year’s program was the transition I needed to go from having a sense of interest in Permaculture and nature, to being grounded in the experience. I now have a strong conviction to follow this path."

-Isaac, RDNA 2005-06

"I have always considered myself an outdoorsy person, a nature lover. After one year of RDNA I have a whole new relationship with nature. Now when I walk outside I feel a part of the outdoors, and not only am I still a sincere nature lover, I am able to love everything! P.S. RDNA rocks!"

-Dave, RDNA 2005-06
