Under the full moon and the twinkling of the starry sky, you will relearn how to evolve without any light other than that of the heavens. You’ll travel through space and time and, if you’re so inclined, perhaps even a little within yourself… Here, in the middle of wolf pack territory, you’ll observe the discreet traces of their presence, witnesses to a nature that is still wild.
