Sacred Cedars Wilderness School is nestled at the base of the Selkirk Mountains in Northern Idaho. The ancient cedars hold a magical aura about this land that we get to be stewards of. Our focus is ultimately about how we live in respect and reciprocity with what the Earth provides. Workshops are conducted by top-notch instructors in the field. It is also home-base for the week-long, off-campus, wilderness immersion program called the Art of Sacred Living. Classes vary for age groups and physical ability, so to provide something for every body. Come join us for a weekend class or an immersion into the wilderness and discover the wildness of your soul!
THE INTENTION OF SACRED CEDARS, IS TO SHARE THE WISDOM OF PRIMITIVE WILDERNESS SKILLS, KEEPING OUR ANCESTRAL LIVING TRADITIONS ALIVE AND TO FURTHER CULTIVATE OUR CONNECTION WITH NATURE, BRINGING A SENSE OF BELONGING, BUILDING CONFIDENCE THROUGH SELF-RELIANCE SKILLS AND DEEPENING THE WILDNESS OF OUR SOULS.
The subject matter of each course or workshop progresses as the participant becomes comfortable and confident in their wilderness skills, inviting them deeper into the art of scared living.

Early last spring, Karie purchased 13 acres of raw land in her hometown of Sandpoint, Idaho. Finally her dream of having her own wilderness school came to life. However, the site is bare with the exception of her old home, the yurt. She is raising funds to build the necessary infrastructure to support the school and its instructors. Please consider supporting Karie by visiting her go-fund-me page and making a donation!
