New and Upcoming
August 31, 2010
We have rescheduled Nature Awareness for Saturday, Sept. 11, as a one-day class, and will back that up with Intuitive Skills on Sunday, Sept. 12. The classes will be in the Frazier Park area. On Saturday, we'll practice reading the concentric rings of the forest, learn the Grandfather walk, explore in scouting parties, and practice mental and physical camouflage. On Sunday, we'll learn the very deep intutitive awareness skills passed on from Tom Brown, Jr.'s Apache mentor Stalking Wolf. If you've taken Intuitive Skills (= Earth Philosophy 1), you may take that class as a refresher at no cost.
We have also scheduled a fall Arrowmaking Workshop with Gary Baugh for October 30-31; the class will be limited to seven students. If you’ve done bowmaking with Gary here is your chance to learn a huge amount about materials and methods as you complete several arrows. If you’re interested in learning bowmaking at a later time, sooner or later you’ll have to learn arrowmaking so hook up with this opportunity now.
