Way of the Earth Homeschool Program — Way of the Earth School

Homeschool Program

This educational opportunity will set the foundation for a lifetime of kinship to the natural world by engaging in the seasonal rhythms of earth living skills, fun wild awareness activities and land-based crafts.

Mondays // 9am-3pm // Ages 7 - 12

Earth Living Skills are all about building the foundational skills that cultivate a sense of home in the forest. Over the year, we practice different elements of the sacred order of survival: Shelter, Water, Fire, and Food. Learning how to meet these vital needs directly from the landscape helps your child see their self as part of the ecosystem, foster confidence, and pushes their comfort zone in a safe way.

Wild Awareness Activities are focused on awakening their senses to move, see, listen, and feel in the same way that wild animals do. We retrain our senses through core routines and participate in games/activities to strengthen their abilities. These activities cultivate body awareness, develop intuition, and help them align with the consciousness of nature.

Land-Based Crafts covered in this course are focused on building relationships with the natural world. Students are engaged in the whole process of harvesting, processing and crafting. Throughout this process we learn the land stewardship techniques that help the plants we work with thrive. These skills help them cultivate a sense of belonging to landscape, develop lifelong muscle memory and fine motor skills and step into responsibility to be good stewards of the earth.
