“‘The Practice of the Wild’ follows local Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gary Snyder and novelist Jim Harrison (“Dalva,” “Legends of the Fall”), as the two old friends wander along trails of the central California coast.

However, both Gary and Jim, and their writings and thinking, were inspirational to creating ALTA. [Details about ALTA here]. So, now is a good time to make the movie freely available to the Clubhouse and ALTA subscribers:
