[SustainableTompkins] Cultural Mentoring Workshop this Sunday with Mark Morey

[Valorie Rockney]

Introduction to Cultural Mentoring, a workshop for adults, will be  
held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 30 at EcoVillage at Ithaca,  
at the first neighborhood (Frog) common house.

The workshop presenter, Mark Morey, is the founder of the Vermont  
Wilderness School and the Institute for Natural Learning. There is a  
$30-$60 sliding-scale fee, and limited scholarships are available.  
Pre-registration is helpful but not required. For information and to  
register, please contact Dale Bryner at 272-6486.

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. 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!

Please bring a bag lunch and dress to be outside for part of the day.  
Registration starts at 9:30 a.m. Please be on time.

The event is sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension, Primitive  
Pursuits, EcoVillage at Ithaca, Ithaca College Environmental Studies  
Program, IC Students for Sustainability and Earth Arts.
