Natural Awareness

Learn to be outdoors comfortably without causing discomfort to yourself or others, including non-humans. We'll practice the age-old art of sitting in the woods, discuss the natural cycle of the four directions, learn to read weather patterns, practice orientation with a map and compass, and avoid hazards including ticks and other insects.

We'll move into deeper awareness as we learn techniques for observation, listen to bird language, practice skills like fox-walking, owl-eyes and deer-ears, and use blindfolds to emphasize how tactile touch connects us with our surroundings.
