Reconnecting adults and children with
Mother Earth...
Finding that personal connection with the
Earth deepens one’s love of nature and enriches life.
Children are the future, and without
children rooted in the earth and nature, there can be no future. An old Native American saying tells that when
a decision is made, it must be made on behalf of seven generations to
come. Having such a deep personal connection to the Earth gave
the Native American the sensitivity to know if the actions they were taking
made for positive change for their people and
all life. If it did not, no
action would be taken. And that is why
we call our school Seven Generations.
By replanting our feet back in the earth,
we bring hope and promise of a brighter future.
Seven Generations Outdoor School offers the
making of tools and skills that will fully connect you to nature, like
primitive shelters, friction fire, baskets, cordage, bowls and utensils, animal
tracking, throwing sticks, tanning hides, camouflage, flint knapping,
awareness, fishing spears, bows, arrows, and vision quest. It is these ancient skills and tools that
will create the personal connection to life and Earth, enriching at the same
time as they teach.
It is our responsibility to hand down these
great gifts, and here they are, in the form of
classes. These skills and tools
are the true teachers, and we just the facilitators.
Reconnection on this primitive level,
brings out an understanding, a personal relationship with the Earth that can
only be felt by this type of full emersion in nature. Planting one's feet back in the earth in this
way will make the future a brighter place for our children and grandchildren to
come.
Seven Generations Outdoor School invites
you to come join us, see you soon!
