SACRED HUNTING
Hunting can be an incredible tool for personal transformation. Helping you discover more about yourself, your environment, the animals you share the world with, and even helping you develop a deeper understanding of life and death itself. Hunting can help you find your place in the community of life.
But you could hunt all your life and never find that kind of transformation. It takes deliberate practice, awareness, and sometimes… even initiation.
That’s why our friend Mansal Denton created Sacred Hunting.
Sacred Hunting brings new or experienced hunters out onto the landscape to stalk, harvest, and field dress animals in a retreat-type setting — in conjunction with sweat lodges, entheogenic plant-medicine ceremonies (held on separate days from the hunt of course) and strong intention setting that prepares hunters for a life long spiritual relationship with themselves, the land and the animals they hunt.
If you want to learn to hunt in this way, check out SacredHunting.com.
Mansal and his team will guide you through beginner hunts and more experienced hunters will find unique opportunities available across the country and globe. Like Axis deer hunts on Molokai in Hawaii and even a Northern Siberia hunt with the Nenets people coming up in 2022.
There are only a few spots available per hunt, so go to SacredHunting.com and complete their 2 minute application. Discounts are available when you let them know you heard about them on The WildFed Podcast. Learn more about Mansal and Sacred Hunting on episode 59 of The WildFed Podcast.
