Thank you all for your supportive words. I will mull this over. Right now I am sick sick sick, and so it is difficult to give attention to much else.
Charlie,
I did a weeklong art of mentoring course in summer 2007.
Helena, I can't figure out how to…
River - What activities did you do at WAS and how long ago where you there? Charlie
River,
Having a baby is part of nature. Maybe you can focus on how creating a new life is part of nature. I think you will find your way.
Blessings,

Somehow I have managed to stop seeing and feeling things. I avoid the woods, even my garden. My job was supposed to bring me closer to wildness and nature but instead I have completely lost my focus. Now I am just realizing it -that I'm not really h…
Active kids can be a blessing in disguise! Use that energy for games, lots of games. The age determines what games you want to introduce. A universal language for all kids is chase games. Turn the aggression into stalking and hunting. Make sure chas…
hi sorry for the late answer
first of all sorry for my spelling
the superman guide - for me is the one who can make the elision for the kids that he knows haw to do everything and knows everything - that's like a TV carecter that kids love so much t…
I am a student birth doula with birth arts, though on hold at the moment, I think we've "talked" in the forums.
Tonight we had a big meeting with parents which was overall positive. And my supervisor has gotten involved, two kids have left/been sus…
Hi Helena... you aren't by chance part of the message boards for births arts international as well are you? I recognize your name.
I have tried activities together, debris hut building went very very well, as well as spending the day in the forest.…
Hi can you explain more of what you mean by looking for the superman guide to shock them and become group leader?
How do you give challenges to kids age 5-12, that are fairly safe, and can be done after school or during the day. Like what sorts of…
I also work with some challenging groups and it seems like they always look for the superman guide
to shock them and to become the grope leader - a way that I really dislike and would love to
dump it - the element of the coyote that I usually bring…
these are good ideas. Thank you. We are hoping to start a martial arts program within our program using a guest teacher in the next two weeks.
We are starting a garden... I am adding otehr plants to the indoor space. And yes a pet would be a great…
I am curious about this. Could you explain in more detail what you all mean by "sacred fire ritual?" it is new to me. What is it for, how does it go?
Holding the teachings of Gilbert Walking Bull, Jake Swamp and all those who share what is sacred.

Somehow I have managed to stop seeing and feeling things. I avoid the woods, even my garden. My job was supposed to bring me closer to wildness and nature but instead I have completely lost my focus. Now I am just realizing it -that I'm not really having fun, that I don't know if I remember how to connect with anyone or anything... it'll be a process of stripping away the layers until I hit bedrock. And now I will have a baby to think about, it won't just be me disconnected and wandering, but my… Continue

Frank Tovey said… - I read your blog "receptive" and it struck a chord in me because I'm also having a difficult time steering my ship at the moment. Whenever I feel I'm losing focus and seem to be drifting away I usually end up in a Vision Quest circle and this time was no different. It isn't the easiest solution, but if you can handle the whiplash, it does in four days what could otherwise take years.

Amanda Thornton said… - Hi, please feel free to send her my way, I will be running a pilot this spring for six weeks starting mid April. I will then be traveling to Germany to spend time with a few Waldkindergartens in the summer, articulating my curricula. By winter 2009 be an incorporated non-profit. I am looking for as many people who are interested in this idea.
I see that you as well started an afterschool program, for kids 5-12. I be interested in how this is going for you. Where are you located, and are you doing this alone?
till then, warmth. amanda
