YOUR GUIDE: Hwiemtun. Born and raised in Khowutzun (the ‘Warm Land’) by a Coast Salish mother and Hawaiian lineage father, Hwiemtun (Fred Roland) received many teachings of his Coast Salish culture. Through spending many years with elders of his territory, Hwiemtun learned the cultural and spiritual traditions of his ancestors. During the last 30 years, he has journeyed around the world to explore and share ways of being with elders and healers of many indigenous tribes including the Makushi, Wapashani, Shipibo (South America); the Kajikhastani and Hungarian tribes of eastern Europe; the Humung, Tai Muang, (Thailand), Ainu (Japan), Jinibara of Australia just to name a few. His journeys were also spent traveling within North America connecting with the Lakota, Cree, Blackfoot, and many tribes within British Columbia.
Bow Drill MAKING Workshop
Price : $15 pp
This workshop does not occur at the same time as drum making, so yes you can do both!
The incredible Fern, Miranda & Kyle from EarthKin Learning are joining us this year to offer a bow drill making workshop. This is an ancestral skill that empowers you to create fire from friction! The extra cost is to cover the cost of gathering materials for you to have this experience and take the bow drill home with you.
YOUR GUIDE: Fern Yip. From her wild journeys, Fern knows that deep nature connection is essential to living both soulfully and meaningfully on this earth. She finds immense joy in encouraging others to find their own naturalist passions and meaningful relationships to the earth by awakening curiosity, exploration, and play. She brings a naturalist’s keen awareness, a dedication to the practice of ancestral and bushcraft skills, and over ten years of experience instructing at nature schools and ancestral skills gatherings. Fern enjoys many earth-based ancestral skills but has a particular love for tanning hides, tracking, hunting, and foraging for edible and medicinal plants. Compelled by the vision of creating nature connected culture, Fern is honored to guide others on their deep nature connection journeys.
Group Photoshoot
COST: This will be offered at a sliding scale donation of $66 - $88 with a maximum of 25 people.
YOUR GUIDE: Anabel De La Foret has been a deeply passionate photographer and videographer for over a decade. Anabel specializes in capturing humans in nature, and capturing moments of pure connection. She loves capturing sacred ceremonies, festivals, women's work and especially loves photographing pregnancy and birth. Her most popular offering is creating a container for groups to get together and create art with their bodies together and have that raw, natural beautiful captured. She holds each photo she takes as a sacred expression of truth and holds a space of deep reverence for the whole experience. Her photoshoots are more than just “taking pictures and looking pretty” They are a ceremony and a coming home to our authentic, wild and unique expressions of self. Anabel can usually be found capturing candid moments, or conducting group experiences in nature for people to let their wild sides out! 📸🙏 you can check her out at https://www.instagram.com/anabeldelaforet/ to see examples of her work.
We invite you to anchor your Enliven 2024 experience in time through this powerful journey with Anabel <3
