Wilderness & Urban Survival Skills for Women
This is a unique
opportunity for women to deepen their connection with nature,
themselves, and the ancient wisdom of their ancestors. The course
focuses on attitude and awareness, the central aspects of survival in
any situation. Attitude is a conscious choice to orient our minds,
emotions, and behaviors in an advantageous way. Awareness lets us
capitalize on all our resources. Students explore how these abilities
play out in performance of aidless navigation, fire making, shelter
building, finding water, gathering wild edible and medicinal plants,
practicing invisibility, and other ancient wilderness living skills.
Through the exploration of attitude and awareness, women are given the
unique ancient wisdom of our female hunter-gatherer ancestors. On this
journey, participants claim new sources of power and self-confidence in
their ability to relate to nature in all situations, including
survival. Students seeking credit are evaluated on their participation
in class and group activities, adequate demonstration of skills, and
the completion of a written assignment which requires additional
reading.
