Another Sunny Autumn Day

October 6th 2023

We shared another bright and sunny day together. hawadubš (thank you in Lushootseed) for those helped us carry wood for the many fires to come!

We gathered in our morning circle and heard a silly story about the bəlups (racoon) who inspired one of our mentors to get creative with one precious tomato she grew to court the bəlups out and away from the chickens she tends. 

Adventures in small groups filled our day: playing amongst the scotchbroom, hiking further to find many fungal friends and spiders, cordage making with iris, practicing consent from the trees to climb them and talking about tree climbing safety, soaking up the autumn sun, wandering to magical places with names like Peek a Boo and Birch, and playing meet-a-tree. 

We are grateful for the many sensory experiences adventuring, learning and playing amongst our forest friends!
