Program Description:
Developing our connection to the natural world is a lifelong journey. From catching frogs as kids to the jaw dropping silence of the grand vistas we experience as adults, we are forever changing as we cultivate our relationship with the Earth. The joy we feel and freedom from our everyday concerns are exhilarating and when nurtured, our curiosity becomes our guide for moving across the landscape and through our lives. What could be better than to learn how to gently and artfully lead our children back to that sense of connection? This will be a week dedicated to the art of Coyote Teaching and the passion that drives us all to share in others’ discoveries. In addition, participants will learn the logistics of running their own programs through COTEF and experience teaching these ancient skills.
Ages and Prerequisites:
Adults 18 and up
This program is designed for adults who have experience in wilderness survival and a desire to teach. Please note, during the program we will utilize primitive skills such as the bow drill but the course is not designed to teach the participants bow drill, but how to teach it. The expectation is that adults have some experience through Children of the Earth Foundation, Tracker School or experience from another source prior to attending.
