About this Course

For Women

Join us for a women’s\* deep nature connection weekend! *\*We refer to “women” in as many ways as they want to define themselves. Individuals who identify as trans, gender-neutral, or non-binary are welcome to attend.* Learn some of the core routines of a nature connection practice in the company of experienced teachers and like-minded women. Share stories around a blazing fire, wander the land looking for signs of wildlife, interpret the language of the birds, and deepen your awareness of the natural world. Please note that this class has a Spring *and* a Fall session. **Each session is different and they are designed to complement one another.**

Contents

This hands-on weekend will cover a variety of topics:

  • Harvest wild greens to make a healing tincture and discover common plants that can be used for basic first aid.
  • Learn to safely use an axe, hatchet, and knife to make fires at home or in the woods.
  • Experience moving through the forest with senses other than your eyes.
  • Walk the land with wild women who can show you animal tracks and signs, interpret the calls of the birds, and identify edibles.
  • Learn to make pine needle baskets and other optional crafts that use pine needles while gathering around the fire.
