Powell River Yearlong Programs

Fianna offers yearlong nature-based mentorship in the 8-Shields model for education.  


Kids will learn: responsible harvesting, medicinal and food plants, natural materials, wild crafting, navigation, tracking and stalking, bird language, ancestral heritage and local ecology. 


With strong core routines of gratitude, circle sharing, singing, storytelling, inquiring, mindful “sit spots”, and mentoring of each other, they will experience and incorporate a nature-connected community-minded culture, grounded in relationships of respect and reciprocity.

Ages 4-6

Nature and the children’s interests will guide our days as we explore the forest and coastline and attune to seasonal changes. Children are encouraged to experience and express their knowledge through diverse activities including story, song, dance, and crafts. As they experience their gifts in a natural setting, they will be gaining an awareness of respect for self, others, materials, and the environment. Empathy and social-emotional skill development is promoted through everyday encounters with each other.

This program establishes a strong foundation in nature connection and naturalist skills. We balance our time between engaged learning and free play that develops the social-emotional capacity of kids.  Skill development and an awareness of the natural world, strengthens our sense of community and our empathy for the land. Each day will bring a specific focus, while also allowing for the land, and the passion of the kids, to guide us.
