"Jake is an extremely engaging and passionate teacher and is very generous with his hard-earned and truly comprehensive knowledge. He has inspired so many people through his lifelong devotion to conservation and supporting the most vulnerable in our community through his charity events and saving huge areas of bushland. His courses are authentic, fun, engaging and full of his personal stories of survival and healing himself and others using plant medicine. If you are looking to feel a closer connection with the natural world while learning the skills of our collective ancestors, I'd strongly suggest jumping on the next available course."
