Wilderness Guide Council scholarship fund

Tax deductible
Help the Wilderness Guides Council's 9 scholarship applicants attend this year's annual gathering on Salt Spring Island, BC by contributing to our scholarship fund!  We are gathering on May 13-18, 2019.

We need $2250 to be able to support all of them, and we need your help!

For the past 30 years, we have gathered annually to support guides of rites of passage and other wilderness based healing practices.  We come together to restore ourselves, connect, learn from each other, and deepen our practice.

Nine people have requested scholarships this year. Some are young, some elder, some seasoned members, and some just joining our circle.  We would like to be able to support all of them, but we are in need of more funds to make that happen!

In addition to our scholarship needs for 2019, we are hosting the 8th annual international gathering in the spring of 2020. We expect 200+ guides from around the world!  Please consider contributing as much as you are able not only for 2019, but also to support guides from around the world to gather in 2020.

Our mission:
We believe that wilderness has great healing and inspirational qualities. Our goal is to re-introduce and promote meaningful, earth-based rites of passage, as well as related nature-based healing and educational programs, in the context of our modern culture.

We appreciate your generosity!
