Earth Skills for Adults at Pata Panaka (#2 of 4)

Sacred Water

Continuing with theme of the Sacred Order of Survival, the focus of this class will be water. This weekend will cover the basics of finding, carrying and purifying water, in Nature.

We will also explore caretaking water for the greater community of plants, fish and animals.

This will be a very hands on, skill and information packed weekend, deepening all of our connection to the sacred water.
