Wild True: Wild Geese

We are all Wisdom Talkers. It is time we all feel safe and confident expressing our collective, intuitive wisdom. This blog is a place to share wisdom, insight, and inspiration to connect to the heart of all beings. As we approach a new creative phase of humanity, we are each asked to move through our limitations and express ourselves and actions from the depths of our hearts and true knowing. As we move into a maturity of spiritual practice, our wisdom will naturally unfold and guide us into who we are and why we are here. Community, God, Passion, and Action in the presence of the One.

Wild Geese

Wild Geese

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting--
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
-Mary Oliver

Why Outdoor Education?

The children are in daily contact with the elements and are learning important skills that are foundational to a core understanding of what it means to be human. They are not discouraged by the cold or the wet, as long as they are properly dressed. They become comfortable getting muddy, observing insects, and interacting with farm animals. They begin to know the plants of the forest and the garden as they participate in growing and foraging food. Children learn to gather wood for fire, compost, make herbal teas and medicines, and build shelters in the forest. They witness bees pollinating flowers, dip beeswax candles, pick fruit from the trees, preserve food for winter, knead bread dough to bake in the cob oven, prepare wool from our sheep, gather eggs from the chickens, and make cheese or ice cream from fresh goat milk. These experiences cannot be matched in a classroom, as we are able to engage in the fundamental processes of life in a hands-on way.

What is Contact Improvisation?

Being not limited by cultural and national features, it arouses interest and brings together open-minded and open-hearted people which tend to be free and happy in their life activity, social development and dance. Universal and versatile character of Contact Improvisation, its simplicity and positive health impact attract not only artists, but everyone who likes dance, movement and communication with other people. Dance for pleasure, dance for health, dance full of art, of improvisation, of happiness and spontaneous play with space… These are just some of the words which define the essential of CI, its necessity and usefulness in any civilized and open society.
