Earth Essentials Weeklong Intensive
July 5-11, 2009
Come and spend an entire week learning, living, playing and praying in the natural world.
We recently asked ourselves, "What do we want to ensure our people know about the natural world and earth-based skills?". This workshop was the answer. We will devote six days to learning and practicing the baseline skills and sacred order for survival.
Not sure you’re ready to sleep in a debris hut? Don’t know what a debris hut is? No worries, we’re working with all levels of learning. If it’s your edge to sleep in a lean-to or in your sleeping bag in the yurt, you can start with what feels right for you. Ever want to move through the forest and actually see the animals behaving in the their natural ways? We’ll practice the skills necessary to do this. Along the way, you’ll learn a handful of “must-know” medicinal and edible plants and some simple ways of preparing them. Fire-making will round out the skills portion of the week and we’ll also make time for ceremony.
Fee: Sliding scale of $400-600 is offset by daily work-trades by all participants. Includes meals and basic materials. We are VERY EXCITED about this workshop. Enrollment limited to 30 participants.
Who's teaching: Tammi Sweet, Kris Miller and guest instructors

An Evening with Sacred Fire

Come and spend an evening devoted to deepening your relationship wiht this elemental teacher.

Women in the Woods - Part I
Dates still to be determined for Winter - Spring 2010
10:00 am Saturday - 3:00 pm Sunday
Are you longing to come home to the natural world but are unsure how and where to start? Do you want to feel more confident or safe in the woods? Do you long to feel your rightful connection to spirit in your home in the wild? Or, do you wish for like-minded others to explore these ideas with. If you answered yes to any of these questions, this is the place for you!
We will devote two days to exploring the inner and outer realms of what it means to live connnected to the natural world. We will connect with spirit both by practicing physical skills such as tent set-up, fire-making, outdoor cooking, wild edible and plant identification and by practicing various awareness skills as we sit and walk and sleep within the green world.
This weekend is the first in a series filled with hands-on activities and grounded inward journeys. Each succesive weekend is designed to enhance your skill base and deepen your confidence and comfort in the natural world.
Sliding scale: $150-225
