DIRECTOR

Loren is a sculptor, healer, visionary and counselor of law and life. His practice of meditation spans over 3 decades, but in 2019 a call to deepen that practice resulted in personal healing and awareness of purpose. He is a strong advocate of plant medicine having experienced many healing journeys. Loren offers different types of meditation classes, rewilding hikes, talks on consciousness and personal and legal counseling. He also guides several sweat lodges throughout the year.

REWILDING DIRECTOR

Josh Costantini is an artist, musician and educator who grew up at The Woods. Josh has a passion for sharing his love of creativity and nature. He has many years of experience working with children, including over 15 years working with special needs individuals, most recently at Common Ground and Elm City Montessori School. He has designed and implemented his own nature based curriculum that focuses on the playful exploration of the natural world through art, woods immersion, music and adventure. Josh believes art and nature should be accessible to all, and creates experiences which connect young and old to the peace and inspiration found in the woods.

BUILDING AND MAINTENANCE

Jason is a visual artist, writer, sculptor, furniture maker, stained glass and fine craftsman. His one-of-a-kind collection of antique and unique, knobs, woods, metals and nicknacks is Jason’s source of inspiration. Whether it’s a custom frame, tables, chairs, a cool light fixture or his personalized wall paneling for your home or office, Jason’s artistic eye is like no other you have seen. His pieces can be seen at the Woods Stand or by appointment.

FARMER

A visual artist, sculptor, craftsman, self-taught musician in various instruments, and a master grower of plant medicine. Over the past decade he and his wife Jen consciously raised and educated their four children in the woods of Maine. Joseph’s solitude with family and instruments honed his talents. He is a teacher of meditation through music and hiking, an art and music teacher and offers gardening classes.

CREATIVE

Quinn is an artist, designer, rock climber, hiker, and lover of all things sustainable and Mother Nature. She attended Parsons School of Design in New York City and continued to live there until The Woods called her back (both the family business and the entity of Nature). Quinn, along with Dean, runs all things social and design related for The Woods as well as hosts “drink and draw” events under her company, Sketch and Soda. Quinn and Dean also run Somewhere Studios, which handles all of the marketing for any affiliates. Quinn also helps out around the farm in whatever way she can - building, gardening, animal duty, whatever. Safe to say, Quinn is all over the place.

CREATIVE

Dean is vital to the Costantini family business as someone with the last name Costantini is. Dean is a South African photographer and filmmaker. He also is an artist, designer, builder, and maker. Alongside Quinn, Dean runs anything digital The Woods has to offer. Dean strives to connect people with nature through his work - you’ll find him teaching people how to barefoot hike on his successful YouTube channel or teaching a nature photography course here at The Woods. When not dedicating his time to his creative pursuits, Dean spends all of his time outside - soccer, hiking, camping, rock climbing. The list goes on. We are lucky to have him.
