Karie Lee Knoke, finalist on the television show "Alone" and founder of Sacred Cedars Wilderness School, will be speaking at Community Assistance League's monthly meeting later this month.
The meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. March 19 with a short business meeting. Knoke's program begins at 10 a.m. The public is welcome.
"Alone" is a Discovery Channel program where contestants are dropped into remote areas to survive completely on their own.
“It's safe to say I have been training for 'Alone' my whole life," Knoke said. "From my off-grid home to my vacations spent on wilderness adventures – everything I do is with the intent to see how spiritually deep I can connect with the land." Knoke finished in second place.
Karie Lee lives off-grid in a 30-foot-yurt on 13 acres near Sandpoint. She is building a wilderness school and teaches primitive life skills. She brings deep knowledge of survival, medicine, and herbal remedies.
CAL meets on the third Wednesday of every month for a short business meeting and a speaker 9:30-11 a.m. Next month's speaker will be Rachel Jeffs, daughter of Warren Jeffs and author of the book “Breaking Free”.
