Ozark Groves Retreat

Forest school, primitive camping and rituals of nature at our Gaian ecovillage in the Ozarks. Opening soon [email protected]

[Ozark Groves Retreat @ozarkgroves]

Come see Pine Grove, a place of restoration, regeneration, and reconnection #pinegroveshrine

[Pine Grove Ranch @_pinegroveranch]

In Pine Grove, safely behind a livestock fence, we’re seeing forest regeneration for the first time in about 15 years. Previously the whole understory was eaten by goats and cattle. Now the woods are catching back up

[Ozark Groves Retreat @ozarkgroves]

What are the opportunities for making journaling a part of forest school experiences? How can journaling be a meditative tool to help us describe our relationship with Nature?

[Nat Geo Travel @NatGeoTravel]

With a little planning, pen, and paper, all the most important parts of your next trip can be accessible to you for years to come. https://t.co/TISSqcBlnm

Currently planning our ecovillage campus. This location will be the main hut/pod/cabin/hall space, as it lines up on axis with Pine Grove Shrine #ecovillage #primitivecamping #nature #reconnection

[Ozark Groves Retreat @ozarkgroves]

The Pool Shrine at the end of Spring Valley path, a site of spiritual significance. We are currently evaluating how to guide people here in a way that’s safe for them and the habitat.
What are the rights and responsibilities of ecosystem engineers? How do we plan reconciliation?

[Ozark Groves Retreat @ozarkgroves]

The Cave Shrine, one of the major nodes along Spring Valley path

Our two-headed black rat snake at Cape Nature Center is turning the sweet 16! Come on out and say hello during her birthday party Sept. 4! More at https://t.co/k03dZC1eCp

[MO Conservation @MDC_online]

Read the September issue of Missouri Conservationist online at https://t.co/ZeBoMH5OXK to learn how nature-based kindergarten takes learning outside, Missouri’s quail restoration landscapes, how a wildlife damage biologist helps homeowners identify mystery visitors, and more.

Participation in conservation projects is just another opportunity that ecotourism can provide people. As the land begins to regenerate, the people will come to help

[Crane Trust @CraneTrustNVC]

Did you know that the Crane Trust will hand-pick native seeds to help restore habitat? This week I learned all about the power of the seed! In order to help tallgrass prairies thrive, native plants are collected and hand sowed.

See you next time,
Amanda

"What regenerative agriculture is all about is understanding relationships and connected connections between living things, and trying to foster life. And to me, that is absolutely the direction that farming has to go..."

[Ozark Groves Retreat @ozarkgroves]

The dark skies of the Ozarks are one of our greatest natural resources, and people come out to visit places where they are protected

[National Geographic History @NatGeoHistory]

More and more cities, towns, and regions are working to preserve their night skies to support light-sensitive wildlife populations, ensure their residents have access to dark skies, and enhance their tourism industry. https://t.co/iJ8TCf7HPH

[Ozark Groves Retreat @ozarkgroves]

Foraging for #Ozark delicacies like this is an exciting opportunity we hope to be able to offer in the near future

[MO Conservation @MDC_online]

Fall is a great time to forage for mushrooms, like the flavorful puffball! Learn the basics during a free fungi program Aug. 6 at Cape Girardeau Nature Center -- https://t.co/Xf5XZzZ7aA

[Ozark Groves Retreat @ozarkgroves]

This overhang will soon be a crown jewel in our primitive camping system

[Ozark Groves Retreat @ozarkgroves]

The opportunities for people to be involved in the rewilding process are endless. From native restoration to regenerative agriculture, we’re here to connect people to it all

[Pine Grove Ranch @_pinegroveranch]

Beautiful vision of a landscape that reconciles people, their farms and the natural world

[Ozark Groves Retreat @ozarkgroves]

Don’t fight rewilding. Come experience it

[Native Woodland Trust @NativeWoodTrust]

A microcosm of what environmentalists face- death threats for rewildling your own land . . . .

[Ozark Forest Reserve @ozark_forest]

Where should we begin? Our culture, sense of place and very life depends on it

[Ozark Groves Retreat @ozarkgroves]

People need rest and restoration in wild environments. That’s what our mission is

[Pine Grove Gaian Guild @pinegroveguild]

We’re reaching a new Enlightenment, where instead of human rights, we’re fighting for the rights of the nature those humans live in #nature #rights #gaia #ecosystem #conservation

[Ozark Groves Retreat @ozarkgroves]

In time enough pastures will be managed in such a holistic way that people come to tour the farms

[MO Conservation @MDC_online]

MDC, partners invite cattle producers to learn about native grasses Aug. 3 in Patton. Free workshop shares benefits of native-grass habitat and benefits for livestock. More at https://t.co/MI1glxBjV3

Inspired by the nature cycle of the forest, like these trees (off-site), the first primitive camping locations will be simple huts #primitive #camping #rewilding #contemplation #hut
