Woniya Thibeault is a naturalist, craftsperson, and ancestral skills instructor, whose passion is inspiring and empowering people to live their wildest, freest, most abundant lives. She accomplished this through teaching land-based living skills such as those our ancestors used, and nature connection practices.

While never describing herself as a survivalist, she is best known for being the first woman to win a solo survival wilderness challenge on the History Channel’s Alone. She attributes this victory not to her brute strength or force of will, but to her commitment to living in a connective and reciprocal way with, rather than against the natural world. With her Patreon membership, her online and in person courses, her speaking engagements and her debut memoir, Never Alone, she hopes to encourage others to do the same.
