About The Native Awareness School.

There was a time when we moved slower, a time when we observed the rhythms and flow of nature. Native Awareness is the aboriginal skills of all our ancestors, the ancient peoples of the Earth. The school, Native Awareness wishes to reunite people with their birth right, to relearn to listen to the forgotten language of the Earth and to develop a new relationship with Nature.

Relearning the ancient skills of survival provides us with confidence in nature, moving from a situation that may seem overwhelming, to an opportunity to return to the comfort of Nature. Constructing shelters that blend into the landscape, learning to collect and purify water, mastering the gift of fire by friction and developing the ability to harvest wild plants and animals, with great respect and honour, are all skills necessary for survival. Native Awareness teaches how to develop and move beyond these skills to what we call Earth Living, being bountiful in nature, letting the Earth provide for all our needs.

Spending time as our hunter gatherer ancestors, moving silently through the forest, gathered around the fires, shifts our physical awareness to that of Spirit. Native Awareness is for those who wish to connect deeply to the Earth, and to view the world through Native eyes.

Native Awareness teaches from a wide experience and from the schools inspiration, Grandfather Stalking Wolf.
