NATURE AWARENESSWe follow the teachings in Nature Awareness that we learned from Jon Young in the Kamana Naturalist Training Program for adults. Kamana is an excellent program that brings us great insight, awareness, and knowledge of the natural world. Does your child, or do you want to feel comfortable and welcomed in the woods? On these pages we have provided the Kamana teachings in a format that is easy for children to undrstand. We can help any child feel like he or she belongs in nature, rather than only being a visitor. Children (as well as adults) will be introduced to all of the basic concepts they will need to become naturalists. Although easy to do, each teaching is designed to provide the basis of a life long learning experience. At this time we are offering Owl Eyes, Deer Ears, Journaling, and Tracking. In the future we will add Dog Nose, Raccoon Touch and other teachings we feel touch the core of the teachings. Owl Eyes helps us to use our sense of sight in a deeper way. Deer Ears does the same for our sense of hearing. Journaling shows us how to record our observations in a way that helps us to remember. Tracking is the anchor. It teaches us to be aware of everything. Click on a page title below and give it a try.
