A full day of observing, learning, and connecting to the diverse and dynamic world of Nature. In our modern era of information and convenience we have lost much of our ability to sense and understand the subtle cues of Nature's workings but we stand to regain much centeredness, fulfillment, and connection by growing in this way. We will learn trees by their bark, birds by their calls and messages, plants by their withered stalks, and mammals by the tracks and signs they leave for us. And further, we will experience some of how all these beings fit together into a complete community in which we also can have a place. Some ability to traverse hills and ravines will be necessary for this program.
