Lynx Vilden walks a path that used to be natural to all of us, but for most people no longer is.

She has explored the natural environments and indigenous cultures of arctic, mountain, and desert regions from Hudson Bay to the Kalahari desert. She has lived in a Sami village in Scandinavia, in the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico, in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, and the North Cascades of Washington. She has been practicing and teaching primitive living skills in both the United States and Europe since 1991.

She is probably most known for her Four Seasons Prehistoric Projects and the Living Wild school bringing others to live this way for extended periods of time.

Michael is a founder of ‘Human Keystone’ is an experienced Outdoorsman, Forager, Fisher, Hunter and primitive skills practitioner from Hastings. Through month long solo and group immersions into some of the last truly wild parts of Europe he has over the years developed deep kinship with the natural world.

Using skills as pathways, Michael has formed strong ropes of connection with plants and animals around him. Even though Michael has been trained by some of the best naturalists and ancestral skills practitioners in Europe, his teachings are strongly influenced directly from nature. His teaching style is unorthodox, ancestral as well as process rather than goal orientated.

Mathias grew up in southern Funen in Denmark where he spent almost all of his free time in nature. He has always been fascinated by animals and their varying roles in natures ecosystems and wondered about his own role in it.

He has been hunting with his dad since the age of 6 and as soon as he turned 16 he got his own hunting license. Naturally, one of his main interests within primitive skills is hunting and fishing - “not because I enjoy killing, but because that to successfully harvest an animal, you need to understand your prey. You need to know what they eat, where like to sleep, when they move and why they move”. As such, Mathias has had a lifelong passion for tracking, spear fishing, and archery as well as animal behaviour.
