Bird Language is an ancient skill that people have used to help them survive and thrive for thousands of years. It is a skill which has been largely forgotten by modern peoples, but which is sorely needed at this time of cultural upheaval and natureʼs shifting patterns. In an era marked by increasing disconnection from nature, self, and others, the practice of learning Bird Language will give you the tools to be more successful in your relationships, your career, your community, and in life in general by enhancing your ability to experience empathy, compassion, attentiveness, sensitivity to your surrounding and others, and increased awareness.
During this weeklong intensive, you will be immersed in a village of mentors and learners led by Dan Fontaine, Lauren Dalberth, Dave Hage and Will Scott. Your participation in daily activities will open you to a new world of understanding on how to be more attentive to your surroundings, sensitive to how you affect others, and help you achieve a quiet mind, resulting in increased peace and happiness. This will have a ripple effect that will benefit you and your loved ones, enhancing your ability to become a successful nature mentor and create healthy communities. Join us for a week full of fun, fire, food, friends, and phenomenal personal transformation!
