In six 3-hour sessions, Foundations for Ecology Literacy workshops will provide you with a unique set of tools for observing, understanding, and interacting with the natural world. 

Six 3-hour sessions will cover:

• Perception, Observation, Awareness (The foundation skills for pattern recognition)
• Animate Earth/Gaia Theory (Witnessing all around us how we fit into the long story of our planet’s habitability)
• Naturalist Knowledge and Tracking (The structure of ecological relationships in our surroundings)
• Bird Language and other messengers (Birds extend our awareness beyond our senses if we know how to watch and listen)
• Oral Story and Mythtelling (Story is the way we communicate: learn how ecological literacy forms our ability to perceive the stories of which we are a part)
• Designer’s Mind and Livelihood (A designer’s mind is critical for moving from from consumer to citizen, job to livelihood, house to home, individual to community.)
