Come to Your Senses! Foundations for Ecological Literacy
A Summer Workshop SeriesEcological literacy refers to the basic ability to perceive life at work. The tools introduced in this series will give you a wider and more complete perspective, a perspective that includes the whole community of life. You will find that your environment, wherever you are, will become a mentor and that you will become a mentor to others. And lastly, you will find that you cannot venture outside without returning with newfound knowledge and stories to tell. This awareness will prove itself invaluable to you no matter your educational, professional, or personal path.
The workshops offer several interrelated tools for connecting with the natural world in accessible and profound ways.
Six 3-hour sessions will cover:
1) Perception, Observation, Awareness
- The foundation for all aspects of life.
2) Animate Earth/Gaia Theory
- Witnessing all around us how we fit into to the long story of our planet's habitability
3) Naturalist Knowledge and Tracking
- The structure of relationships in our surrounding and how to perceive through time
4) Bird Language and other messengers
- Birds extend our awareness beyond our senses if we know how to watch and listen
5) Oral Story and Mythtelling
- Story way we communicate: learn how ecological literacy forms our ability to perceive the stories of which we are a part
6) Designer's Mind and Livelihood
- A designer's mind is critical for moving from from consumer to citizen, job to livelihood, house to home, individual to community
