Seal Bay Nature Reserve

Wayfinders: Weekly Program

Wayfinders is a weekly offering for kids aged 7-12, for yearlong nature-based mentorship in the 8-Shields model.   


The kids will learn of 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.   


More Information:  Nature is our teacher, and throughout the year we will move with the seasons around the “wheel of development”, offering subtle guidance towards the lessons that bring us into deeper connection with our selves, each other, and the land. Kids will learn without even realizing, and will discover emerging emotional qualities, social skills, self-awareness and self-confidence that seem as natural as the changing of the seasons. Through games, storytelling, songs, and guided exploration in small groups, they will find personal trails of intrigue and natural mysteries calling out to them and to their growth, their gifts.   


Program starts in Sept 2022 and runs until June 2023. Registration is for the full 32 sessions.

Seal Bay Monthlies

Nature is our teacher, and throughout the new year we will discover the lessons being offered by nature that bring us into deeper connection with ourselves, each other, and the land.

Themes that we will explore over the months include: responsible harvesting, medicinal and food plants, natural materials, wild crafting, navigation, tracking and stalking, bird language, ancestral heritage and local ecology -- all while having fun. With strong core routines of play, gratitude, circle sharing, singing, storytelling, observing, inquiring and mentoring, we cultivate a nature-connected, community-minded group culture, grounded in relationships of respect and reciprocity.
