[SustainableTompkins] Intro to Cultural Mentoring Workshop, for adults

[Valorie Rockney]

As you may have heard, Ecovillage, along with Ithaca College,  
Cooperative Extension/4H/Primitive Pursuits, and Earth Arts, is  
sponsoring a wonderful workshop for adults with Mark Morey, the  
founder of the Vermont Wilderness School, and the Institute for  
Natural Learning. The workshop is from 10 am to 4 pm on Sunday,  
September 30, at the Frog CH. The sliding-scale fee is $30-$60, with  
limited scholarships available. Pre-registration is recommended but  
not required,  If you're planning to register at the door, please  
come over between 9:30 and 10, so that the workshop can start on  
time. Please bring a bag lunch, and dress to be outdoors part of the  
time.

Mark Morey has worked closely with Jon Young, founder of the Nature  
Awareness movement, to design a cultural map drawn from native  
cultures around the world.  Their cultural map looks not just at what  
knowledge and skills elders teach, but also at how they teach.   
Participants may expect to deepen their awareness of nature, learn  
methods of community building, and take part in art-of-mentoring  
activities.  The goal of the workshop is to go beyond skill-building  
and stimulate us to find new and creative ways to work together.  
Prepare to be challenged, encouraged, and energized!

For Information and Registration: contact Dale Bryner from Earth Arts  
at 607-272-6486.  I'll also be glad to talk with you about what I know.

If you have time, it would be great if you'd forward this email to  
others who might be interested and/or print out a copy or two of the  
flier to post in places where you go.

Thanks, and we hope to see you a week from Sunday,

Valorie
