Humanity is intrinsically linked to the element of fire. Every facet of our world is energized and enlivened by this vital force. Not so long ago, our entire species had the ability to gather fire from the landscape: turning that which was cold, hard and lifeless into a life-giving light, warmth and beauty. To remember this ancient skill is one of the most powerful and empowering initiations available to us as human beings. We will awaken this ancient relationship within you by moving across the landscape together, building your bundle of knowledge and skill as we practice one of the oldest techniques of fire-by-friction.

The way of the bow is the practice of instinctive archery. Before we allowed technology to do our thinking and choosing for us, we had to rely solely upon our innate ability to move and flow gracefully within life’s many currents. As hunter-gatherer people, this was essential. It came naturally. But what was natural to us then is now something we must actively practice in order to cultivate. The way of the bow requires a discipline of presence, focus, and intuitive feeling. We will activate this relationship by beginning with the basics, seeking joy in the simplicity of every shot. From there we will move out across the land in search of diverse opportunities to train this skill.

In seeking a sense of resilient belonging to place, the plant path is a perfect direction to begin. Within almost every single ecosystem upon this planet, the plants generously offer us an abundance of food, medicine and utility. These gifts are also uniquely suited to help us adapt to the environment in which they were given. This is because the plants that gave them are often the oldest native inhabitants in any one biome, and have actually helped to create that biome themselves. In order to truly live in harmony upon this earth, we must learn to live in harmony with the ones that make it livable. Through the practice of wildcrafting, we will begin to shift our consciousness into alignment with this way of being. Exploring a number of skill sets in order to achieve this, including: cordage, wild edibles, and herbal first aid.

The quality of our presence and awareness will ultimately determine the quality of our life. When we practice existing as our hunter-gatherer ancestors once did– tracking and trailing the movement of nature with complete attention– some of our most innate human abilities will begin to naturally come online. This includes the capacity for a profound experience of connection with ourselves, the earth, and all who call it home. We will use a number of wilderness awareness techniques to access this experience, and begin to surrender into the mystical state of a fully-embodied human being.

So much is possible when we move in harmony with the seasons and cycles of nature. By designing our lives in tune with this movement, there is a vitality that naturally arises within ourselves and within our relationship to life.
