In the context of the last glacial movement, we will read the local landscape to tell the story of its past. B) Learn Plants through Art: Plants and trees speak to us all the time - through a secret language. Magically, it is the same language as art. Through drawing and painting we will learn how to decode this secret language to discover who they are and what they are saying. You can bring the practise home with your own field journal and plant identification kit. C) Wilderness survival : Based on the ancient teachings of "the Sacred Five," we will explore the empowering ways to feel and live more "at home" in the wilderness.
