Thriving Roots - spring season !

first day back in the spring forrest dwellers program ! Happy to see new faces and rejoin with the old ones and be back on this special land

nature table ! With lots of interpretive stuff and traditional crafting

another fellow rock enthusiast ! Sasha showed us this geode he discovered while cracking open this rock from the Okanagan . I shared mine from the shores of eastern Scotland . An old pyrite , that looks like something from the bronze /Iron age and may have been used in fire making

animal forms ! Learning to walk like a fox , and being invisible camflogued n silent light walkers of the woods .

mmmmmmm my favourite arbutus grooove

singing 🎼🎼🎼🎼humble yourself ....ya gotta get down low ...humble yourself ....before the rock , ya gotta know what he knows , and we shall lift each other up ... higher n higher ....🎼🎼🎼

making our agreements - to respect each other , the land , and ourselves . And to bring our best selves forward !

lunch break ! Found a new sweet sit spot

forrest tea!

. ummmmmm yummmm. Arbutus bark , fur and cedar tips, and licorice fern root. Delish!

ending the day in circle drawing our new Nature Names ! I guess I'm bobcat for the season ❤ sitting amongst foxglove, arbutus , great horned owl , blue camas , moonsnail and even a yellow jacket somewhere in there ! Very greatful to be apart of this program for my second year. It's as nourishing for me as it is for the children 😇
