About us

Corina Sahlin

Corina lives a charming life near the wilderness in the Pacific Northwest, where she homesteaded for 20 years, and recently moved to the salt water.

Originally from Germany, she came to the US when she was 20 years old, driven by a thirst for adventure and a sense that healing could take place in a wild place.

For many years she taught and inspired earth-conscious people to live healthy, self-reliant, sustainable lives by teaching homesteading skills, both online and in person.

She is a transformational life coach and RLT couples coach, helping people create healthy, thriving lives and relationships.

She also loves participating in the family business "Calypso Restoration", where she, her husband and two adults sons help people create gorgeous landscapes.

There is nothing that makes him happier than seeing a group of kids stalk through the woods with mud on their faces and moss in their hair!

Or the look on the face of someone shooting their first arrow with a traditional bow they made themselves.

Or witness the magic of someone creating their first bow drill coal.

Steve has been teaching wilderness skills for many years, both on his own, as well as through various organizations.

When Steve is not teaching, he can be found hunting, fishing, or romping through the mountains with his wife Corina and their children.

Steve Sahlin

Steve grew up in Papua New Guinnea where he had the unique opportunity to be with people who still live the way they have for thousands of years. He will never forget watching a young man create fire with a fire saw in seconds, or watching, in utter amazement, a young boy take a bird out of the sky with a homemade slingshot.

These and many other experiences left an indelible impression upon him, and after some decades of academia and urbanity, he found his own life path turning back towards those old ways and ancient skills.

Steve's ongoing journey of learning this knowledge and these skills has given him a sense of freedom, connection, and empowerment that he loves sharing with others.
