Campfire Council Overview

Storytelling is a human universal. From gathering around the campfire telling tales of ancestors to watching the latest Netflix series, humans are prolific producers and consumers of stories. Despite our natural inclinations, much of modern society has incentivized us away from our connection with each other and the land. We have grown socially anxious and learned to fear the outdoors. To remedy this, Outdoor Therapeutics hosts periodic Campfire Councils designed to reintroduce meaningful, in-person connections in the woods. Escape the digital world, take comfort and warmth by a crackling fire and join nature lovers, nature seekers, and nature professionals that you may not know, but may come to befriend.
