Every month on a Sunday morning , music songstress and bush craft mamas hold a gathering called BackYard Sessions. These are open to the community of all ages.
They run from 9 AM until 1 PM, beginning with an opening circle of gratitude, A lighting of the fire, sensory awareness and nature connection activity.. then going into the teachings of a few ancestral skills, differing each session. This week we got to explore friction fire including a group bow drill demonstration! Where children and adults of all ages participated in the “cooperative tug-of-war “ Of a homemade bow drill kit. This tradition goes back into Many land based cultures including Celtic times in the sacred lighting of the Beltane fire. Ingrid, Who attended the 8 shields tracker school back in New Jersey, continue to share the skills of basket leaving this time twining mini baskets! I had the great joy to join in today as a guest teacher, working with Plant and animal fibers to weave God‘s eyes with the children !
