Inte Koster

Inte Koster, co-founder                                                                                                                                                                                  Raised with the privilege of abundant time on nomadic journeys in the outdoors, I learned to seek wilderness and exposure to the elements early on in life and found there – in the non-judgmental and connecting company of my surroundings – my true home.

With this as my foundation, I have continued to follow learning experiences that support what has become a guiding principle and constant research; learning of humanity’s ancient relationship with nature, life and how we can live responsibly and regeneratively in ourselves, our relationships, our time, on this earth.

Supporting connection to the natural rhythm and wild within and surrounding us is what inspires me, and to do so on all levels of our human experience; socially, physically, emotionally, spiritually.
