Nature Awareness: Landscape

Humans leave a major footprint on the earth's landscape, leaving us feeling disconnected and separate from our natural surroundings. In this class, you will immerse yourself in the environment of the farm by learning to read the landscape with all your senses. Play games and learn traditional Nature Awareness philosophy. These skills will help you learn to become "invisible" in nature! Birders and wildlife enthusiasts will benefit greatly from this class. Please wear natural colors and no scents- it will be to your advantage!

Instructor: Sonia has been an outdoor educator for the last 5 years, specializing in working with children, youth, and young adults. She received most of her training in the foothills of the White Mountains in Western Maine, where she lead backpacking and canoe trips and specialized in Primitive Living Skills- living outdoors with minimal modern gear. She believes that challenging experiences in nature- including service and farm work- build character, confidence, and community, and are the key to feeling whole and connected.
