Part 2 of the Forging Excalibur Podcast - Justin West speaks to Darvis Walker.

Darvis has dedicated himself to reconnecting the world with the transformative power of wild nature. For his entire adult life, Darvis has guided his community into the Tarkine, a 450,000 hectare ancient landscape in Tasmania’s north west. Over 22 years, he’s lead hundreds of week-long expeditions that guide people to this wild place. During this time, his life purpose has crystallised: To be a bridge between nature and culture.

Paralleling his life as a Wilderness Guide, Darvis has deeply immersed himself in men’s work. Today, Darvis and his partner Brittany Jane run NatureCulture, an enterprise dedicated to co-creating a nature-centred paradigm. NatureCulture is a combination of men’s journeys, women’s journeys and an annual mixed gender program called The Conversation. The organisation is also working on village-style programs that welcome young people and families to reconnect with nature and thrive as a community.

Darvis guides men into wild places, where the ally of nature can deeply support their journey into purpose. Each year, Darvis takes a small group of men into the forest for a 10 day retreat over New Years and also leads a six month rite of passage program called The Leap; a wild pilgrimage into purpose for men.
