Bird Language Weeklong Intensive Start: 10:50 am End: 10:50 am OFFERED: April 26 - May 2 LOCATION: Commonweal Garden INSTRUCTORS: Jon Young, Nicole Young, the RDNA team and Shikari Tracking Guild. Find out how the most elusive animals in the forest detect danger and move secretly to avoid it – using the language of the birds, the alarm system of the forest. Learn to decipher what the birds are telling us about the location of other animals, and also what they have to say about our own patterns of movement and awareness. This exciting week will open your senses to the various “shapes” of bird language - rings of movement, sound, and feeling that ripple across the landscape. Learn to move quietly while expanding the circle of your awareness through the power of bird language, a skill that has been passed down through countless generations of trackers around the world.
