Josh is one of these incredible mentors “hired” by the smart nature! Josh’s knowledge &amp; skills let you experience a fantastic connection with nature but it’s his charisma, kindness and storytelling mastery that will let you make forever memories. I will always be grateful for Josh’s guidance and care for all of us in those woods. Every little step there with him was a major step in the direction of consciousness and elevation." - Pat Ambrosetti, Wilderness Program Participant
