A Path Back to a Life That Feels True

Most people today live in constant stress, disconnection, and confusion.
But you already know:
Your soul wasn’t made for a life of rushing, noise, distraction, and meaninglessness.

There is another way — a way humans have followed for thousands of years.

At Earth Living Mastery, you learn how to:

  • Slow down and tune into the Earth’s wisdom

  • Rebuild your natural awareness and intuition

  • Strengthen your body, clarity, resilience, and inner compass

  • Experience ceremony as a living force for transformation

  • Develop deep nature skills — from tracking to fire-making to true wilderness living

  • Reconnect with a community walking the same path

  • Live a simple, sovereign, meaningful life that honors the future generations

This is not a course.
This is a return to your original instructions.

Online Programs

For those who cannot travel, we offer powerful online paths to clarity, inner strength, and deep Earth connection — grounded in timeless teachings and practical steps.

 

The Lineage Behind Earth Living Mastery

Our teachings are rooted in an ancient tradition passed down from Stalking Wolf, a Lipan Apache elder and spiritual teacher, to Tom Brown Jr., and carried forward through generations.

These teachings form a living thread — a way of life centered on awareness, responsibility, freedom, and service to the Earth.

Our family has dedicated over 33 years to living and teaching this path.
We raised our daughters outside the modern system, guided by nature, ceremony, and the old ways.
Everything we share comes from lived experience.

Who We Are

We are Juergen, Franziska, and our family — a lineage-based community dedicated to Earth-centered living.
For decades, we have guided people through:

  • wilderness training

  • mentoring

  • rites of passage

  • Earth-based spirituality

  • community living

  • and the path to true freedom

Our work is not theoretical.
It is lived.
Tested.
Proven through thousands of students across the world.

This Is the Place for You If…

  • You feel disconnected from modern life

  • You long for inner peace, clarity, and meaning

  • You want to slow down and reconnect with what is real

  • You want to live in harmony with the Earth

  • You feel the call to reclaim your natural skills

  • You want to guide your family toward simplicity, resilience, and deep connection

  • You’re ready to step into your authentic life — free from fear, stress, and confusion

If you feel this calling, you are already on the path.
