SACRED ROK founder Ron Kauk speaks from the heart about transforming young lives by introducing them to the magic of nature Un derstanding the Wisdom of Nature    As we have a decade of experience learning from our youth the value of facilitating the ceremony of nature we are extremely honored to have partnered with San Benito County Probation for five years. Through day trips to Pinnacles National Park, where board member Steve Shackleton served as Super Intendant, and camping trips to The World Heritage Site of Yosemite National Park, a unique opportunity has been provided for all of us to gather in such beautiful places that our parks provide.   These are incredible classrooms for the entire world and the experiences of our youth is proof of the importance of building a foundation
