Apprentice of the Wild: Los Angeles

AotW is a mentoring program. We will learn to feel the the natural rhythm of the land, and the opportunity to discover the wisdom of the animals and plants as we strive for a deeper connection with them. All classes are taught with love, compassion, communication, and the inherent principles of living a life in Harmony with the Earth. My goal in offering this program is to increase the childrens' awareness and connections with the land/self/others. I do this through a combination of sensory exercises and games, stories, and invitations to question what they think they know, plus learning ancient skills. The ancient skills offer a means to get in touch with their "roots", establishes a foundation that provides stability amidst the uncertainty of modern society, and challenges their abilities. Children discover more about who they are as they are guided in an exploration of their relationships with the land and its inhabitants, the group, and their layers of self.

And did I mention adventure? YES! I hope to add an element of adventure and bushcrafting skills to the upcoming lessons. This program offers children the opportunity to have fun learning the skills of our ancestors. It's a beautiful way to bring balance to their technology-driven lives, understand the difference between their needs and wants, and gain the self-confidence that comes from meeting those needs directly.

We have plenty of ways to follow the fun!
