I found my dream job when I was 15

I started coming to Headwaters when I was 15. My first experiences with the school were the Nature Awareness Class followed by the Wilderness Skills. From day one I knew I had found home.

I first went to Headwaters with my 5th grade Waldorf class. As soon as I stepped out of the car, I was almost knocked over by all the dogs. They were so exuberant and joyful, and immediately I was on the ground, petting them and all the awkwardness was forgotten.

Now, about 3 years later, I smile at the memories of my “headwaters family” and of the summer’s adventures. Again, in the 6th grade this time, I traveled the 5 hours up there with my class. When the week was over and we were leaving, I told Tim that I would be back for a few of the summer classes.

What surprised me the most about Headwaters is how the chatter in the mind slows down as soon as you walk on the land. I took Earth Philosophy I & II. Tim's teachings just sink in. You don't have to work on anything. The results come naturally. My connection to nature has gone to a deeper level and has changed my life in ways I never expected. Everyone says that being at Headwaters is like going home and now I understand why. The people are wonderful and the food is fabulous! The land lives in your heart long after you go home. I'm looking forward to my next visit.
