Fletcher Tucker was raised by the foggy redwood ravines and fragrant chaparral bluffs of the Esselen tribal territory now known as Big Sur, California. He is a co-founder of Wildtender, an organization based in Big Sur that cultivates kinship with the natural world, and explores earth-based wisdom traditions. Fletcher is a lifelong student of natural history, an ancestral skills practitioner, an experienced teacher, and a devoted father. As a writer, multidisciplinary artist, and musician, Fletcher’s creative practice engages deeply with place.

Fletcher’s inner work includes ongoing explorations in Buddhist and Taoist practices/philosophy; over a decade of study in the Gestalt lineage of Esalen Institute co-founder Dick Price; and two decades of engagement with the Earth-reverent, spiritual traditions of his own Nordic and Celtic ancestors.
