FOUR DIRECTIONS IN THE NATURAL WORLD
Saturday, September 13, 2008

Offered through the Nova Scotia Outdoor Leadership Development Program
With all the talk of being green, have you ever taken the time to really consider your own relationship with the natural world? This workshop, relying on the ancient wisdom of the Medicine Wheel, holism and the four elements, provides participants with the opportunity to seek some clarity of their own relationship status as citizens within the greater organic whole.

Whether you are a seasoned nature educator or simply curious about developing a better understanding of your own interaction with the natural world, this workshop is designed with the individual quest in mind. This unique workshop uses art, mediation, visualization, energy exercises, reflection and small group discussion. All that is asked of participants is  that you come committed to your own natural world journey while upholding the respect for others on their way as well.
