Bearways: Ancient Ways for Modern Living

Ancestors from all over the northern hemisphere looked to the bear for how to live in sync with the seasons. Today, bear teachings are still relevant and especially important for city dwellers. Awareness and practice of this information is most vital in the fall and winter to ensure year-round health. The focus of this class is to honor our connection with the earth by reviving traditions and remembering ways of living that serve to prepare us for the coming winter.

In this class we will learn about why the bear is revered as a teacher, the basics of fermentation, the importance of preparing yourself and your home during the fall, and the tools and materials to take us through the 'long sleep of winter'. We will also include some hands-on play, including meditation and expressive arts. We will be making kombucha, vegetable kraut, bath salts, herbal teas, and dream pillows. Please join me for this informative and fun series to help you enter the cave of winter with joy and relief.
