You see that the old ways just aren't working, yet the new paths are still emerging.

Hi, we are Tim Corcoran and Jeannine Tidwell, co-founders and co-directors of Twin Eagles Wilderness School. We started Twin Eagles out of a deep love for this most beautiful Earth of ours, and from a place of hope. We are nature based mentors, who believe that our role on Earth as humans is that of stewards, and that in order to take care of the Earth we need to deeply connect with it. Wilderness survival, permaculture, and herbal remedies are just a few of the approaches we use to facilitate deep nature connection. We also believe that this level of deep connection is best facilitated through mentoring. We believe that in order to really make a difference, we must be able to work together as people, as community. At Twin Eagles, we are centered on the age old truth that in order to change the world, we must first "Know Thyself".
