Introduction to the Art and Science of Holistic Tracking with Arnaud Gagné from Connection Pathways.

Holistic Tracking means tracking with our whole being: Mind, Body, Heart and Spirit. It also means that what we learn from reading the animals' stories on the land enhances all aspects of our human lives. Tracking is not only for hunters, it's for everyone! Come discover the original science of all people and the doorway to activating our full sensory, cognitive and intuitive potential.

In this workshop you will…

• Learn the basics of identifying the clear tracks of common North American mammals and interpret basic gait patterns

• Learn to embody the animals and see through their eyes

• Learn to see Tracks and Sign within the whole ecological context they were made in

• Be guided by the art of good questioning

• Learning through experiential tracking

• Follow the stories of some excellent local wildlife teachers

Things to prepare:

• We are going to be outside for the entirety of this workshop, so please dress accordingly, rain or shine

• Be ready to walk in the mudflats if the tide is low!

• All food and water you’ll need for the day

• Optional: pocket pad for taking notes, pencil and key chain tape measure.
