Foraging walks
An in-the-field experience where you can see, learn, and taste wild edibles in their natural environment! Consists of light-to-moderate walking and hiking, while stopping every so often to interact with various wild edible species. Includes a recap PDF that summerizes all species covered in the walk: a sample of this can be found HERE.
Great for homeschool networks, forest schools, homesteaders, nature enthusiasts, and more.

Principles and Physics of Ropes, Knots, and Pulleys
Daniel puts his experience in the Rope Access and Arborist fields into an educational context by offering interactive classes on several topics:
-Ropes & Knots 101: An introduction to Ropes and Knotwork.
-The Physics of Ropes and Pulleys. (Can be a single or multi-class course where theoretical concepts like friction, tension, and mechanical advantage are put to the test and physically interacted with.)
Great for individuals interested in the subjects or who tend to struggle with mathematics in a purely theoretical sense.

Tree Walks: Among the giants
These light-to-moderate hikes will focus on getting to know trees in their natural environment. Using his knowledge and expertise from the Tree Care/Arborist industry, in these interactive in-the-field walks, Daniel will focus on tree identification and basic ecology.
SPIRITUALITY/HEALTHY LIVING
Ancestral Health
Daniel believes that the modern world is rife with conflicting ideals on how to achieve “a healthy lifestyle”, but this confusion can be quelled by rediscovering what has worked for humans for thousands of years, and how it can look alongside our modern lifestyle. Some topics he is prepared to share on include:
– Omnivore: The diet that will never die.
– Venom Extraction: Removing the most common toxins from our everyday lives.
– Living like a Tvestran: Reclaiming ancestral lifeways that bring health and wholeness.
– From Tetris to Transhumanism: Are Video Games Stealing Our Humanity?
Spirituality
Daniel is a Christian, believing strongly in the sovereignty of the God of the Christian bible, and adhering to the major tenets of mainstream Christianity. He also believes, however, that the Western Church has a tendency to take the bible out of its original cultural context, and in doing so, loses sight of much of its profound wisdom. He greatly desires to see his community re-adopt an accurate world-view in accordance with the uncensored scriptures. Some topics he is prepared to talk about include:
– An Introduction to the “Unseen Realm”: M. Heiser’s “Deuteronomy 32 Worldview” in a Nutshell
– Are Ghosts DEMONS? A Biblical perspective on the “Paranormal”
– Are Aliens DEMONS? A Biblical perspective on the modern disclosure phenomenon
– From Lion-Headed to Leviathan: Cryptids in Christendom
– The Occult Uncovered: Exposing the deceptions of “modern” witchcraft
– Biblical Ainur: Is there a link between Tolkien’s “Valar” and God’s “Divine Council”?
MISCELLANEOUS
Creating a Constructed Language
In his books, Daniel has created the functional “Tvestran” language, inspired by the reconstructed “Proto Indo-European” language of antiquity. Want to learn the thought process on why and how he decided to embark on such a venture, and possibly how you can create your own “constructed language”?
Great for conference workshops or educational classes for those curious about languages, linguistics, and how one goes about creating a language.
