Extrait : « Co-founder, Adult and Youth Program Director and Instructor
Jean-Claude Catry is the co-founder of Wisdom of the Earth Wilderness School and has been studying, practicing and teaching wilderness connection skills for over 35 years. Originally trained as a physical education school teacher in his native France, Jean-Claude left the beginnings of a career as a professional soccer player when he almost died from a serious illness. This awakened him to a path of meaning and nature connection, and he spent over a decade as a mountain wilderness guide, leading groups of children, at-risk youth, and adults on horse, ski, and foot through the French Pyrenees, to support them in connecting to their inner Wild Nature. He established a remote mountain equestrian centre with over 150 horses, now run by a woman he mentored when she was a teen.
Jean-Claude has been an instructor at numerous wilderness schools and primitive skills camps throughout North America over the past 25 years. He lives and teaches through the Art of Mentoring, “coyote teaching,” and the work of 8 Shields, developed by naturalist and tracker Jon Young, by whom he continues to be mentored. Having spent extended time alone in the wilderness, including mountain and coastal expeditions on foot and horseback, and a solo winter expedition traversing Yellowstone Park on skis, Jean-Claude has built a profound personal connection with the wild. “JC” is committed to designing programs and rites of passage to create a culture based on equal partnership for all beings, in the circle of interdependence. He is deeply committed to the work of cultural repair and village building, and to the well-being of future generations. He has a reputation for holding a passionate vision, for laughing easily, and for gentle, crazy wisdom. »
