Golden, angled light illuminates the curvy Appalachian Mountains outside of Asheville, N.C., where an earth-based educational center makes its home. Natalie Bogwalker, the founder of Wild Abundance, calls out into the valley, “Let’s make the most of the sunlight while we have it!”

She’s teaching a three-day workshop on hide tanning, and it’s no coincidence that it’s scheduled in November, the harvest season. At Wild Abundance, reconnecting with the land means living and working in sync with the cycles and seasons as they unfold.

For Frank Salzano, a partner at Wild Abundance, the seasons represent a universal, archetypal way of being. “Some might say it’s a medicine wheel, a cycle that happens every day, that happens every year, that happens through our lifetimes.”
