We have just opened registration for another year of our adult nature program!
Do you feel a calling to have a deep connection to the land, and to know the earth and its ecosystems as your ancestors once did? Would you like to develop the confidence and competence to walk into the forest alone with all the skills you would need to survive? Do you feel a loss of the kinds of human connections that nourish and support you on your human journey, and do you want to plant the seeds for creating those nourishing connections in your life? Join us for this transformational class where you will put your feet onto the path of diving deep into the world of nature connection and being in community with other awesome humans along the way!
This adult class takes a Cooper’s Hawk eye view on one focus per day, giving participants a highly concentrated experience of our nature curriculum. Each day centers around a skill or activity in one of our core areas of nature study, and also introduces the core routines of nature connection through practices like cultivating a sense of place through going to a sit spot and honing our senses to reclaim our wild awareness. Participants will also develop tools and confidence to continue down the path of nature-connection.
The core areas of knowledge that will be explored are: Ancestral Skills, Fire Making, Naturalist Knowledge, Survival skills, Edible and Medicinal Plants, Wildlife Tracking, Sensory Awareness, Sense of Place, Navigation, and Community.
Hosted at Huddart Park in Woodside, CA.
