For
most of humankind's history, people have lived in close
association with the earth, enjoying the many gifts of the
natural world in a sustainable relationship. Today, in our
modern world of concrete and plastic, we still feel the call of
the earth, the pull toward a simpler, self sufficient way of
life and the desire to establish harmony with the environment.
Now, Red Hawk Outdoor School, Inc. invites you to
experience the rewards of living with the earth through
AWAKENINGS. AWAKENINGS is a four day, three night journey back
to the earth.
In
AWAKENINGS, students will truly experience their own place in
the web of life by learning how to provide shelter, fire, and
water for themselves from the gifts of Earth Mother. These
skills can become life savers for the outdoor enthusiast caught
in an emergency or provide freedom from the umbilical cords of
society. Students will also expand their senses and heighten
their perception of the natural world through the ancient skills
of tracking and awareness. Through it all, the spiritual
dimensions of living with the earth will be explored through
native beliefs and philosophies.
Though
AWAKENINGS is both exciting and challenging, this course is not
designed to be physically torturous. It is the philosophy of Red
Hawk Outdoor School, Inc. that the experience of living as
one with the earth should be accessible to all people, even
those who are physically challenged, or who may never have gone
camping before. The skills are taught in a lecture/ workshop
format and all meals are provided (including a vegetarian
option). During workshops, Red Hawk instructors are always
available for one on one
instruction and guidance.
1999
sessions of AWAKENINGS will be held at Onteora Scout Reservation
in Livingston Manor, New York, a scenic two hour drive from New
York City. Onteora Scout Reservation (Land in the Sky) offers
both breathtaking wilderness and rustic accommodations. Students
are expected to provide their own camping gear, tent, and mess
kit. Drugs and alcohol are strictly prohibited.
