Also I have just posted a free monograph about Tracking and the Four Directions. Rewritten from my article in Dirt Times eleven years ago, it discusses how to discover the gifts you bring to tracking, and how to round out your skills. The 6 page monograph is available at:
http://www.earthskills.com/pdf/TR4directions.pdf
Speaking of rounding out one’s skills, my own journey in tracking included some serious challenges in the West (intuitive tracking) and the North (non-judgmental tracking). I can credit the philosophy classes Mary and I took with Tom Brown for breakthroughs in these areas. And at Earth Skills we are offering the same curriculum in our Earth Philosophy 1 & 2 classes June 3-5, 2011. You will find these workshops immensely useful! (I just taught an intuitive skills workshop for Naturalists at Large.)
Upcoming classes:
May 14-15 Dirt Time Workshop: Animal Movement. We work with horses and captive wild animals (mountain lion, bear, wolf etc.) to observe gaits and study tracks. Open.
June 3-5 Earth Philosophy 1 & 2. Based on methods that Tom Brown passes on from his mentor, Stalking Wolf, powerful and dynamic tools for grounding, centering and accessing your intuition. Open.
June 10-15 Five Day Tracking Intensive at Windy Springs. Includes Basic & Advanced Tracking, Trailing & Mapping in a fantastic tracking area. This class is half full and will be limited so that everyone gets a lot of quality tracking in.
July 8-10 Earth Philosophy 3 & 4. Open.
July 14 Plant Uses, Frazier Park area. Open.
July 15-17 Wilderness Skills. Three days of survival skills, with many projects. Open.

Special training dates available
We have several weekend dates available in May and June for special trainings for your group, in plant uses, survival, tracking or intuitive skills. Write us for details.
We hope to see you in a class!
