Welcome to Quiet Heart Wilderness School.  Established in 1997, Quiet Heart is a wilderness education program designed to enhance students understanding of the natural world, and instill in them a sense of stewardship toward their planet and its creatures. Through exploration of nature, as well as the sharing of knowledge and lore of the Ancestors, Quiet Heart students gain a sense of comfort and respect for the natural world of which they are a part.  Led by experienced instructors, students will find courses and programs on topics such as primitive and survival skills, edible and medicinal plants, animal tracking, wilderness navigation, awareness skills, team building and problem solving.  Quiet Heart’s various programs range from “Through the eyes of a Naturalist” our preschool program, "OWLE" for 8 to 15 year olds, and many other family programs and courses.  Quiet Heart is all about learning by doing and having fun.

Quiet Heart has been serving families of South Snohomish and North King Counties from Seattle and Shoreline to Woodinville and Redmond  for over 15 years!

"Quiet Heart has offered my son the perfect environment to build his confidence in the outdoors and have fun at the same time." - Anonymous

"I spent a day with Quiet Heart 'Finding Truth in Nature.' What these wonderful people shared was the calmness that can be felt in the presence of nature, the beautiful fit of all beings and the power of nature to heal. We spoke of mentoring and coming of age and coming to an age of wisdom. It was a profound day for me." - Dawn

"Hawkeye is so knowledgeable, gentle, and grounded. He has taught my daughter how to connect with nature in ways that emulate conservation and preservation of our world." - Peggy
