About Ashleigh – Founder of Earth Drifters

​I started Earth Drifters because I believe we’re all craving something deeper than screens, schedules, and surface-level connection. Kids especially need it but so do we, as adults.

​

My own path has always been about bridging two worlds: the structured and the soulful. I’ve worked in yoga, wellness coaching, wilderness education, workplace culture, and federal agriculture leadership. Along the way, I learned that real transformation happens when people are given space to slow down, connect, and remember what truly matters.

​

That’s why I created Earth Drifters. For kids, it’s a place where curiosity, resilience, and a love of the natural world can take root. For adults, it’s an invitation to come back to community through intentional gatherings, hands-on workshops, and full-sensory experiences.

​

Earth Drifters is a place to learn useful skills, connect through shared experience, and feel part of something real filled with depth, wonder, and aliveness.

 

At its heart, Earth Drifters is about remembering who we are, and who we are together-humans connected to land, community, and possibility.  My commitment to you is to show up again and again- with presence, questions, and a fierce kind of love- for you, for your child, and for the future we’re all dreaming of.
