Primal Mischief & Medicine “For 98% of human history – 10,000 generations – our ancestors lived, breathed, and interacted with a world that they saw and felt to be animate – imbued with life force, inhabited by and permeated with beings with which we exist in ongoing relation.” – Josh Schrei, the Emerald Podcast (listen here)
What if our primal nature could be a well future calling us home… to the earth, to the wisdom of our bodies, to our pack as a human family, and to the beauty of collective life?
We will ground with the earth and rekindle our aliveness through our animal senses. We will learn non verbal primal consent cues. We will explore our pack nature, our WE attunement skills to each other & to the beauty of this life. We will sniff, nuzzle, pounce, purr, & rest together with soft toes. We will listen from our wholeness.
You are highly encouraged to wear knee pads, most of our time will be close to the Earth. Tails, ears, & such are welcome however, they are not needed as we will be finding them from the inside!
