Rewilding Day (Ancestral Knowledge & Outdoor Survival Skills)~Ages 5-12~Kaloko

NATURE| CULTURE| RESILIENCE |JOY

Over the last two years, I focused on remembering my ancestral wisdom, getting lots of "dirt time," and honing my survival skills because my na'au told me that this ʻike (knowledge) would be needed during these times. Our Nature Mentors will also be using local knowledge, inspiring ancestral wisdom, and outdoor survival skills to teach participants to be more sustainable and resilient.

We will also focus on what our ancestors were doing this time of year. We will discuss traditional activities, such as harvesting & drying seasonal la'au (plants), observing the moon phases, and storytelling.

Additionally, We will awaken the participant's sensory awareness through fun and exciting awareness games

• Connect with nature through a daily sit spot and hands-on exploration
