Classes are taught by Chris Chisholm, who founded Wolf Camp in Bellingham in 1997. Everyone can attend on a class-by-class basis for $15 (and $10 for additional f amily members), or for $10 per class if pre-registered for the remaind er of the season.\n\nThe topic and itinerary may change based on the \ "finds\" that we all bring this week. For instance, if you harvested a plant that you need help processing and which we can all learn someth ing from, let Chris or Kim know in advance so we can prepare for that. Otherwise, here's what we have in store:\n\n6:45 Orientation for New Students (if you're late, please understand that we may choose to answ er your questions later via phone/email which may have already been co vered earlier).\n\n7:00 Based on the philosophy that when sharing arou nd the campfire in the olden days, we would also be working with our h ands to create tools and materials needed in the coming seasons, stude nts will receive instruction to work on a craft such as making rope fr om raffia, cedar bark, or nettle stalks, or perhaps making a medicine pouch from scraps of leather. This is also a chance for continuing stu dents to show new students the skills they've learned in the past (as teaching others really makes us learn the skills better:) while also g iving us a chance to meet one another.\n\n7:10 Once everyone has gotte n going on their craft, Chris will share his/her study site experience , which this week is from http://www.wolfcollege.com/wolfjourney/Book1 Chapter01.html - Field Exercise 005 Celebrating Your New Study Site. W e may then divide into groups if necessary, based on experience, progr ess on Wolf Journey field exercises, and group size so that everyone g ets a chance to share about their own nature experience from the week. \n\n7:20 Students will then have the chance to introduce themselves an d share any experiences or insights from nature which took place over the previous week or month. Historically, this has been where many peo ple experience their greatest learning, either from telling their own story and therefore processing what happened at their study site, or b y receiving feedback from others who have experienced something simila r in the past.\n\n7:40 Those who are done sharing about their nature e xperiences will take this time to add to our Interactive Earth Skills Calendar which is designed to display when certain things happen in ou r bioregion. For instance, when did the Indian Plum bud and bloom this spring? When did the Western Red Cedar produce pollen cones? When did the Chinook Salmon start spawning in the streams? When did we have ou r first frost at sea level? When did we plant and harvest various crop s in our garden?\n\n7:50 Chris will get everyone back together and hel p to summarize what is happening out there in nature. We'll put the fi nishing touches on our Interactive Earth Skills Calendar, and also pre pare to add what we may notice outside during the second hour of class . Chris will give an overview of what the second hour of class will ho ld, and assistant instructors will again divide us into groups if nece ssary in order to facilitate learning.\n\n8:00 The second hour of clas s is designed to advance our understanding of a specific earth skills topic. For instance, we may review http://wolfcollege.com/wolfjourney/ essays/plants.html or introduce Botany in a Day, which is a wonderful way to learn plant identification through taxonomy.\n\n8:30 We'll revi ew http://www.wolfcollege.com/wolfjourney/Book1Chapter03.html exercise s as we walk to our group study site, where there may be more wild edi ble plants we can directly sample.\n\n9:00 We'll have a final discussi on on where to make our class study site, and head home with the knowl edge that we can survive any time of year from the resources of the la nd.\n\nSee you on Monday, March 8th!\n\nFor more information visit htt ps://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/events/wolf-journey-class-at-the DTSTART;TZID=America/Boise:20100308T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Boise:20100308T210000 CATEGORIES:nature, class LOCATION:Urban Longhouse WEBSITE:http://www.wolfcamp.com/wolfjourney/classbham.html URL:http://www.wolfcamp.com/wolfjourney/classbham.html CONTACT:425-248-0253 ORGANIZER;CN="Chris Chisholm":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profi le/ChrisChisholm ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg": ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Chris Ch isholm":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/ChrisChisholm ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=TENTATIVE;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Colin S ternagel":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/ColinSternagel END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
