About Me

Hi! 

I’m Christina. 

To understand what Fox Walk is, first I must share that it is my path as a mother that got me here. My two children are my inspiration. They have taught me so much about holding space and being present in a way that gifts them the support they need and the tools to thrive.  Being outside in Nature and practicing the Earth Skills are some of the vital tools that have become a way of life for me and my family that I am passionate about passing on.  

I fell in love with living and working outside early on in my life, even before stepping into motherhood.  Alongside enjoying everything outdoor recreation in general, I spent several years leading trail crews through Rocky Mountain Youth Corps and Colorado Fourteeners Initiative. We worked and camped high in the mountains above tree line, often for six months at a time, and only came down for supplies when necessary. This experience instilled in me the value of living in a deeply connected community and with a true sense of belonging - to feel at home in the outside world all seasons and all weather patterns.  And it is this experience that sparked in me the passion to learn more specific connective mentoring practices; guiding my own children alongside other members of the community to find their own sense of belonging and place in the natural world.

My specific Connection Mentoring and Earth Skills training comes through Tom Brown Jr.'s Tracker School and Jon Young's 8 Shields Institute (now the Connection1st Village) alongside 4 Elements Earth Education Teacher Training.  I have also been an active parent in Montessori inspired education, Waldorf inspired education, and the Homeschooling community.  At Fox Walk I combine what I have learned from each of these modalities because I believe there isn’t just one way.  Every child is different with unique talents, passions and needs.  Fox Walk is structured to meet each child in dynamic and nurturing ways. I am also here to guide and meet each child alongside your vision for what education at this young age looks like.
