Hello
I would like to invite you to watch the award winning film, Jens Jensen The Living Green, tonight at the National Building Museum - 7pm.
Jensen is one of the nation's great unsung heroes of conservation and also one of the most inspirational.
I will be there talking about his relevance today.

Nature Is A Powerful Facilitator for Change
I have been working with nature for over 10 years now and I have developed my own approach which I call Natural Awareness... http://www.pathfinder-uk.com/
Greetings of peace and love! Many thanks, for being in place. I look towards the sharing!

kidZone has receiving many updates including a new stream for play, rope bridges and trees!

Be sure to check out the stick structure Ready or Not, designed and built by Patrick Dougherty with the help of zoo staff and volunteers.
Hi Everyone, I thought you'd be interested in Trails Carolina, a wilderness therapy program that C&NN featured on its news site:
Hello everyone! I would like to pass along a program that I am launching that may be of interest to you. Please check out The 7th Generation School at www.7thgenerationschool.com.
I spent many years as a teacher working with at-risk youth as well as those diagnosed with emotional and behavioral disorders. I have also recently been a wilderness guide/substance abuse counselor for a wilderness treatment center for young adults. For many years I have been formulating this program out of my constant question, "What can I do?" This program is my answer and humble offering to the planet.
The 7th Generation School is a supplementary program (to a regular or homeschool curriculum) that not only connects youth with the natural world around them but also with the natural world that exists within them. It is a therapeutic wilderness program (and more) for youth who need something more than what the schools offer. Our intention is to provide a holistic and eco-centered supplement to our youth so that they may become their vision and purpose in the world.
I hope we get to connect soon!
I just started doing special needs kids ecotherapy sessions at our farm, Golden Rainbow Ranch (http://www.goldenrainbowranch.org) We just had our first one last Sunday- 2 Down's Syndrome kids, one with Dyspraxia, one with autism, 1 with Aspergers. It went GREAT- we just spent time learning about and petting all the animals, like a bunny, a chick, the therapy poodles, and the alpaca and goats. One of the moms commented that her son was much calmer all that evening and the whole next day.
