Food from the land.This weekend workshop will delve deeply into the last element in the Sacred Order of Survival, food. Wherever our ancestors came from, they all had the common need for food. For thousands of years, ancient people developed and perfected ways of collecting food from the land and water.We will study the skills of tracking, movement, basic hunting weapons, trapping, and plant foraging. Also, how to apply these skills as a caretaker of the land and honor the plants and animals that feed us. *No animals will be killed in this class; however, techniques to safely and respectfully harvest animals for food will be demonstrated.
