About Reevis Mountain School of Self-Reliance

Reevis Mountain School began in 1980 as a new age community focused on self-sufficiency and the teaching of survival skills. It is today a more quiet place: a sanctuary, organic farm, and homestead. Nature has endowed our remote canyon with paradise-like features: a year-round creek, two underground springs, good soil, and an altitude (3,300 feet) that takes much of the misery out of Arizona summers. Human endeavor has added an orchard of some one hundred fruit and nut trees, a half-acre garden, flocks of chickens, turkeys, and ducks, a greenhouse, a community house, a beautiful native stone shower house, a solar power house, and several shelters, including a teepee, cabins, and yurpees (Bigfoot’s design, a combination of teepee and yurt).

Our first-rate “Nature’s Classroom” is enjoyed by a permanent staff of three, a varying number of interns, and hundreds of students and visitors each year. It is cherished by those wishing to experience a place free from most modern-day pollutants and distractions (including television and cell phone!) and to reconnect with Earth, Spirit, and Self.
