Silence and Flow
11th
August

What is the soul of Trackers? Primitive skills foster craftsmanship, permaculture teaches valuable design principles and tracking delves into the tools of awareness. Yet it is in Silence and Flow that each of these crafts takes root.

Stealth and invisibility are more than dudes in camouflage pants playing war-games. Connection to nature is far more than experts teaching gilded skills and mysterious knowledge. Leaving behind gurus and their dictates allows every experience to carry its lesson.

Slowly moving by the light and shadows of thick vine maple over coarse sword ferns cultivates both a stillness of mind and readiness of spirit. We begin to trust ourselves, think on our feet and improvise with genius. We finally discover a very human and familial place to live.
