What is the Wild Moon experience about?

The Wild Moon program is a unique wilderness experience. It is not a workshop or part-time involvement -  instead you will be learning through observation, imitation and your own experience, living what you learn. You will be outside for a whole cycle of the Moon (roughly one month) - therefore the name "Wild Moon" - without a break, together with a group of guides who have all spent a full turn of the seasons in the wilderness in Wisconsin, USA, under the guidance of the experienced elder Tamarack Song at Teaching Drum Outdoor School.
You will explore primitive skills like hide tanning and fire making. But the primary focus will be on social skills, experiencing the circle way of life, learning to dwell in balance with your human and non-human relations. You will learn and practice awareness tools, such as blind-folded walking, and skills of knowing self, like Truthspeaking and becoming aware of victimization patterns. We will support each other in taking responsibility for our deepest feelings and sharing them without worry of judgment or criticism. Together we want to embrace our fears and heal through them.
Everyone is welcome to join us - no prior outdoor experience or skills
training are needed. Our only suggestion is that you come expecting the unexpected, as actually immersing yourself in an unfamiliar culture with new values and ways of doing things is bound to challenge some of what you have read, learned, and believed about it.
