Through a series of exercises, we will flex our senses, give them a bit of a workout, giving us insight into letting nature open our minds and senses allowing for telling time, direction, weather and more. Space is limited to 12 participants (age 16 and older). Much of this program will take place outdoors, so please dress appropriately for the weather.
