Program Description:
Tracking and Polynesian Wayfinding tradition share a same spirit. They are systems of awareness/skills that allow one to follow something (the track of an animal, a person, a memory, a concept, process of picking Islands out of vast Oceans, etc) with all of your senses as far as you can. It is a process of bonding your energy with the energy of something or someone that you are following. We believe in the deep power of reconnecting to the natural world and integrating the spirit of the teachings of the canoe and Tracking to give future generations the tools necessary to navigate the future as Stewards for Mother Earth.
Skills we may focus on in addition to time on water:
PROJECT WAYFINDER TOOLKIT (Stanford University), Polynesian canoe paddling/sailing, ocean safety, advanced paddle technique, navigation, expedition planning, nutrition for optimal health, exercise/movement/martial arts, Gratitude/Thanksgiving, music, foraging & wildcrafting, medicinal herbs/detox, rites of passage, permaculture, Tai Chi/Qi Gong, traditional/primitive living skills, peacemaking.
