Online Classes to Connect with Nature!
This is a wonderful time to create a deeper relationship with your local place. Each class is designed to get you outside and exploring the place you call home. We are using the google classroom platform, with a series of videos and guiding instructions. We have a weekly optional Zoom checkin for those who are doing the classes as well. These are donation based offerings. Once you sign up we will send you an invite to register and a link to donate (you choose what to donate).
How To Have a Wild Listening Time Practice
Having a special spot outside that you return to regularly is one of the best ways to get to know the natural world, and yourself! When you join this class Sarai will offer fun exercises to help you to find the perfect spot (backyard is great), and practices to learn about your place through observation, art, and journaling. This is a great daily practice during this shelter-in-place time that can be as short as 5 minutes and as long as you want! Kids can do on their own as long as parents approve their spot, it can be done caregiver and child together, and we have several adults who are doing the course as well. It is designed for kids, but is applicable for all ages.

Exploring your Local Wild Medicinal and Edible Plants Class
Learn the basics of identifying plants growing in your neighborhood, including trees and low growing herbs that can be used for food or medicine. In this three class series Caitlin will teach how to be a safe and respectful harvester, you will do some basic identification of local plants and then work on a wild edible salad and an immune tonic. Kids under 10 will need to have an adult do this class with them. Kids 11 and above can take it on their own but will still need some adult support.
